Seemed like it was constantly shoving the brim of my hat down on my forehead. It is a little lighter than my old Spalding but not nearly as comfortable. Since my kid bought himself a Wilson Shock FX, I will probably get some new pads for the Spalding and go back to it this year. I didn't really notice better vision out of the Wilson. As others have said, everyone's head is different so you just have to find what works for you.
That's why I said standard profile. The new view masks were horrible. I bought one and sold it less than a year later during an umpiring trip to Europe.
