    Currently i ware a normal €12 green face mask but am getting fed up using it and am thinking of getting a Half Face Mask along with a pair of glasses.
    My question is are they any good,like are they comfortable or anoying?
    And what prices do they range from?

    I got a king arms neoprene mask for $29 from ehobby, used it for the 1st time in rathbeggen at the weekend and was great, took the sting out of the shots and you dont really notice it once you get going, you have to have it on really tight though, not sure if I would trust it in a place like the warehouse as its a bit to close for comfort and dont think it would be as effective if you get a shot from 10ft away

    oh yea well if i was playing up in the warehouse i would be defently wearing full face protection but for playing in places like rathbeggan it would be handy.
    more suggestions and advice are welcome:)

    Well... thy are quite good, but it depends...

    Id recomend using fogtec on your glasses for that... because the restriction over your mouth, be it shemagh, balclava, or a half mask is quite bad...

    want my advice? if your full mask is the one i think it is, unclip the lower half of the mask, add a bit of elastic, and hey presto...plus its got ventelation for breathing.

    go to any builders shop (there's a few in Capel street if you're in Dublin) and you can get a respirator for €7. comfortable to wear, will stop a BB and fits with any goggles/glasses you might be wearing.
