I’ve used one for a few years now. I just replaced the head gear because it was a pain in the *** and not very adjustable or comfortable. For a $250 plus mask it should have a good head gear.
You also have to use a rear exit respirator or a small fabric mask because the face area is so small. I cut mine off just below the glass and riveted on part of an old $20 mask so I could use a half mask respirator. It looks like a Franken mask, scares the daylights out of my dogs.

The speed glass more than makes up for the other issues. Very responsive and I have never been flashed by it not changing to dark. Save a lot of flipping the mask up while doing setup and tac work.
