Its a LOT more comfortable than the older masks from before. You kind of look like Darth Vader's off spring though.

I have received the M50 mask and I have yet to find a con. Granted, I have only donned it three times, twice for gas chamber and once for NBC fire during rifle marksmanship. I believe it is an improvement and more comfortable than the previous mask. The instructions given for the use when the masks were issued to us were easy to understand, I would be remissed if I didn't mention that our CBRN NCO is an expert in his craft. So all in all I believe this was a step in the right direction for protective gear.

It is a lot more comfortable, maneuverable, and your field of vision is improved as well. All in all, wonderful. Now only if we can start getting them.
