Anyone who has worked in the tropics knows the advantage of using the outside protector. I spent six years in Asia and saw some excellent umpires who wore the balloon. When it is 100+ degrees with a saturated humdity, those things make life a bit more bearable for those guys (and gals). During the run up to the Beijing Olympics, the play ins were held during some crazy heat. The balloon appeared when the heat rose.
