So, you've moved from learning to take an HSM off to learning how to take a conventional mask off. Can you stay on subject for one post?

Because one has to reach to the back, undo at least one (and probably two) snap(s), then reach to the front.

Lacrosse helmets fit more tightly if worn properly.

Form follows function. A helmet that is not designed for baseball is not likely to be as functional as one that is.
