Regular or Hockey Style Mask

[manhong]

I am a new umpire looking to purchase a mask. I was wondering if I should purchase a regular style mask or a hockey style mask??? Are there advantages or disadvantages of one type of mask over the other??? Also, are there any suggestions as to the model (West Vest, Wilson, etc.) that I should consider purchasing??? From my internet research, I know that hockey style masks are heavier than traditional masks. Is the extra weight worth the advantages of the hockey style masks over the traditional style mask??? Any help is greatly appreciated.
