Umpire helmets and sweat

I have the POS Ultra Light mask and also the new Titanium Umpire Helmet.

I use the POS mask about 60% of the time. There are several fields in my area that have a short backstop and a couple of the fields have a looping backstop that ends about 25 feet high and right over the catcher's area. It's on these fields I wear the helmet. I'm finding that I actually stay cooler in the helmet than I do with the POS mask and hat combo. My field of vision is also better using the helmet. So far I've only taken two shots off the helmet and there was no rattling involved.

Michael
