Oh well

Unfortunately the long wait to get one of these due to supply and a point in my career, was hugely dissapointing. The craftsmanship or care is below any standard. The dome was cut very tall and shaped goofy. The 4 main ribs were also very tall and not cut down to a decent size and also very akward to wear and just plain ugly like a squid head. MSA has basically abandoned the quality and traditional look of past. So it was a $100 loss at the end of day for shipping to me and return. If that's worth your time and money, go ahead and try. But for $1,000, It's unexcusable to the job and the customer of all the stories of junk they make and I see why. They'll kill the leather tradition at some point due to 'business decisions.'
