Went through the same "feeling out" process with the gold chest protector.
Concur that tightening the straps is more comfortable, safe and secure.
Can't speak for anyone else but willing to say I speak for the majority.
Info for new umpires: the opposite is true for the traditional
mask.
To feel more comfortable, safe and secure, loosen those harness straps on the mask!
