Its a bit stupid that it doesn't protect your eyes, I appreciate having a choice in eyewear but for this it makes sense to me to just continue the mesh.

It's good for speckies though, That looks like a very decent setup, as the goggles you use don't touch your face, so don't heat up and fog as much, and plenty of room for glasses.

Now if only they weren't so ridiculously expensive.

Unless you are concerned about the very real danger of the mesh failing or a BB splitting an passing through the mesh.
This solves the fogging problem of combining a face wrap/neoprene face mask with goggles.
Good idea IMO.

it is a strange design but does seem to tick a lot of the boxes where people have problem with eye and face protection, definitely a case of function over looks

Stercus Accidit

Fair points re: specs and bb shards, criticism retracted

NakedDex

I like it. That's the first full-face I'd consider wearing. I normally find such things way too restrictive, especially since I wear glasses. I reckon you might need to make a notch in them to allow a pair of glasses through them though, it looks to be quite form-fitting.

Danin

I personally think that the set up of how it is supported around the face is one of the best design features due to the fact that most mesh masks usually only have one strap which continuously requires adjustment as it tends to slip, this one on the other hand has the strap which goes over the crown of the head and it is also supported at the back making it far more secure.Couple this mask with a set of Bolle T-800 Tactical Goggles like these and you have no loss of peripheral vision or fogging issues.

Pricey is right, I def can't afford one right now. I'm happy enough with my fixed zoom elcan dr, not sure i want to be sacrificing any of that excellent eye relief either:rolleyes:

Puding

along the same lines as myself then, can't really justify the money on something that offers no advantages over the specter replica i have and the eotech/aimpoint replicas i have , the duel function is nice but nothing more than a luxury ( with what i;ve seen it is actually a decrease in performance for the 4x and i would imagine the it might be the same for the red dot mode )

A different alternative to normal rail covers, and help for all those with tons of wires hanging off their rail

Very subtle

Had a look at their website and the videos of use really are quite impressive. The major problem with their tactical employment might be WiFi range - they note that you can control the drone "even meters away".

Wow, impressive,....then again never mind scouting - find some way of mounting something that spits bbs and it could be a useful way of taking down people hiding behind trees/whatnot. Someone has to do this, or maybe not.

Until someone shoots back and there goes 400 quid

Get some of those 15$ chinese RC helicopters, it could be like the yokes from half life 2, buzzin at ye, never mind recon, we want destruction!

Maybe not.

Lemming

On a more practical and alternative suggestion note; may I recommend these? link. They don't need batteries and you don't need to worry about wifi range.

tonyj_mc

Pfftp no WiFi is there even a digital screen

Am I the only person here who would probably ever consider buying one of those :P ?

I was thinking myself they could be good for some mil-sim scenarios as a stand in for a recon drone. You would have to prohibit people from shooting at them of course. The only other problem is the short battery life. From what I have seen they are good for about 15 minutes.

Nonsense - watch the video and they are clearly laser beam and missile proof. They will laugh and shrug off your 6mm silliness. :rolleyes:

Death from above!

Ayrtonf7

I dont think theyd be flying too far but theyd deffinatley add another aspect to milsim, and hopefully spur people into putting roofs on cabins or even fixing them :P *cough cough*

But nah I wonder how quiet it would be....
