We know first hand that in a rain storm you can not see at all through a wet mask, unless you have a visor to keep the lens free of water. The Proteus has more unique features than any other mask on the market. The Proteus is a comfortable mask for most every player. Mark tried to wear the mask with one of his pairs of glasses on and it worked out fine for him. The Proteus gets an A for comfort.
Protection is obviously the most important part of the whole mask.
The Proteus does give great protection around the back of the neck and covers most of the top of the head, but lacks in protection around the chin. The Proteus wraps well around the back of the head. However, it does not cover the very top, quarter inch or so, of most peoples heads. The real area that the Proteus lacks in protection is the chin. We wish that JT would have added another half inch or so of protection for the lower jaw and neck.
