It is very comfortable and the visibility is superb compared to my old traditional mask.<BR/>If I have any complaint is with the seemingly unnecessary or perhaps oversized neck pad that makes it hard to lift the head up far enough to see out of the view slot in the cage.<BR/>Wearing a hat seems to solve the problem (I suppose because it lifts the mask upa bit - giving more room to flex the neck) but that defeats the benefit of all the ample ventilation.<BR/>This extra part should either be reduced or eliminated by Wilson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
