Quadsuit head advice

Don't forget to check out our favorites, its all about quadsuits. If you own a quadsuit, you might just be on some of the pictures. Our fellow friend
goldcat was wondering if it would be better to see though the neck or through the mouth of the quadsuit? Anyone have some suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

With the neck, its so much more comforting
I think, though, profile-wise neck is better. It makes the suit look more elegant.
i think vision through the neck leaves an ugly patch of mesh that looks bad. plus it seems that the head itself doesnt have as much fluid motion because they have to be built up on top of the helmet. it just doesnt look right to me.
my suits i try and have the mouth as closed as possible. AND with vision through the mouth it seems to allow more ventilation, with cooler air coming in and blowing straight on your face.
That way you can see where your front leg stilts are & futher in front of you at the same time, great for when theres stairs or groups of people.
My decision was to have vision out of the horse eyes for maximum functional realism. The field of vision is good enough that i dont walk into major obstacles but i might add some kind of wideangle optic later. The head is up as far as my neck allows for some time.
