I'd be very interested in the comments of anyone who has ever tried the All-Star hockey-style kevlar/titanium mask that some ML umps use. It costs almost $400, but if it's really great, I'd consider it. Supposedly, it gives a much greater range of vision.

I use a POS+ SUL now and like it very much. Besides the advantage of light weight, it must compress or something on direct hits, as you simply don't get jolted with it the way you do with a regular mask. POS+ used to sell it for $88 over the winter, but I don't see it on their current sale.
