That looks like a good mask if only they made it with a clear skirt. I have a couple of black skirt masks that I bought after reading that black skirts were “better” due to internal reflection, but I was amazed at how much they reduced my field of vision. I only recently learned that women’s peripheral vision is better and different than men’s, and that explained both the recommendations and the failure of the masks to please me.
Here’s a quote on the subject I found interesting:
“Women not only have a greater variety of cones in the retina, they also have wider peripheral vision than men.As a nest defender, a woman has brain software that allows her to receive an arc of at least 45 degree clear vision to each side of her head and above and below her nose. Many women's peripheral vision is effective up to almost 180 degrees. A man's eyes are configured for a type of long-distance tunnel vision which means that he can see clearly and accurately directly in front of him and over greater distances. As a hunter, a man needed vision that would allow him to zero in on, and pursue, targets in the distance. He evolved with almost blindered vision so that he would not be distracted from targets, whereas a woman needed eyes to allow a wide arc of vision so that she could monitor any predators sneaking up on the nest.This is why modern men can find their way effortlessly to a distant pub, but can never find things in the fridge.”
This also helps explain the popularity of ball sports.
