Does it affect your bar path at all? I'm worried it might force the bar too far towards my face or stomach.

It actually cleans up your bar path. Because the band is across your chest, if you try to flare your elbows too early, it feels 'wrong.' It keeps you tucked and tight.

Wait until you try the 'Maddog' (black) version. That one is for the serious nutters. Unless you're benching 400lbs+, don't even bother with that one.

Yeah, I'm definitely a 'Red' or 'Blue' candidate for now. Not quite at the Maddog level yet! haha

Just be careful not to get addicted to the ego boost. It's easy to start thinking you're stronger than you are because of the assist.

Appreciate all the help. I think I'm going to order the Red one today and see how it goes on my next heavy day.

You won't regret it! Post your numbers once you've had a few sessions with it.
