With the higher humidity in Houston, I'm not sure how it would affect the helmet. I used to have problems with the harness/hat combo where the hat would become so saturated, the persperation ran down my face everytime I replaced the mask after a play. The helmet is vented so some of the moisture is evaporated into the air and if there is any breeze at all, it feels like an air conditioner. The helmet comes with a removable velcro attached pad at the forehead, I bought an extra and if it becomes saturated, keep the spare with my towel and water bottle and between innings when I need a drink, a quick wipe of the interior pads and replacing the forehead pad will renew things...
I see (pun intended) why most helmet users say they rarely remove it, the visibility being way superior to the harness. Properly adjusted it will come off easily, I make it a rule to remove it with calls at the bases or home (must sell the call!) otherwise it stays on most of the time
I don't wear a hat, being folicley challenged, I keep what hair that's still there, left short.
Funny, most partners, players and coaches seemed impressed with the gear and ask how much I paid, how do I like it, etc...the only "roboump" comments coming from the old dogs on the porch...
