Helmet wearers

Men,

I never, ever thought I would say this, but I loved the HSM.

It was a cool suny day when I used it, so as to using it on hot days I'm not sure, but yesterday it was great.

It was comfortable, it was easy to deal with, usually I kept it on between innings. I did have trouble getting it on around my glasses, but that might just take time to fix.

I never noticed a real big change in the viewing area over a regular mask.

I did have some questions about the fit, and I may have some adjustments to make on it:

1. The mask was hard to put n the correct place at first, if I put it on so my forehead hit the padded front of the HSM, the cage did not match up with my eyes, and it didn't fit well around the chin. Is there supposed to be space between the front of your head and the front of the HSM?

2. I am not really sure where my chin goes on the mask. If I put my eyes where they should be in the cage, the chin does not fit into the center of the chin pad, it seems to sit on the top of the pad. If I put it where i though the chin should sit, it was also tight around my chin.

3. I may need to tighten the back piece a little, because it did slip a little.

But overall, I was very, very surprised at the helmet, and how well it fit, esp with having a large head.

I was suing the Allstar 2000ump, which might explain a lot of why it was good. If you want a HSM, that is the one to get.
