    Do/would you use it? Why or why not.

    I don't think I would. I think it would do more harm than good as it would create blind spots espicialy looking down also reducied visibility in genral.
    However because of the reducied visibility I could see it being used as a traing tool to simulite a dificult situition like fighting with poor visibility due to a cut.
    What do you think?

    Cage style protects your eyes and nose better and allows you to breathe a bit easier than a full facesaver.
