Why don't they just customize umpiring hats so that they can be worn under the goalie mask?

Why should they? They serve no purpose. Under a regular mask, the hat helps keep the mask from sliding down.

Unbelievable.

Both the helmet and the mask? It'd be difficult.

I have bigger issues with the helmet. It's bulky and hot and I don't hate the view I get with my current mask. I have a helmet. It rides with me. I haven't used it since April.

Maybe we can get the dude from the other thread who wears the inside protector under his raft to try out the idea.

I wear a HSM, if your worried about messed up hair cut it short, if you wear your hair longer wear a hat and mask, with the foul tips I've been hit with wearing both the mask and HSM, never going back to the mask, our area has no preferance on hat or not but only a couple of us wear the HSM. I'm still relatively new, umping 5 years, is there a giudeline some where for the hat no hat and does it address the HSM or do they allow personal preferance? Thanks in advance for any help.

Make a choice and go with it.

Eh, I am just amused at all he passion. And the "rules" that people put in place because they hate the helmet (to discourage people from using it).
