Face Protection Help.

searbhonta

I am looking for some face protection, I wouldn't say that i am a first timer but close to it. I don't want to sound demanding sorry if i do i just am retarded when it comes to this stuff.

I kind of want something that is easy to breath out of and doesn't feel like a am being suffocated.

Maybe a balaclava and glasses? I really don't know what i should buy.

I just don't want something that will make me look stupid (That's why I dont pick it) and something that is easy to breathe.

Cheers guys and sorry if i sound like a prick coming on here with one post (Kinda demanding) But i am really not trying to sounld like that when i read over that thought i sounded like a prick. Well sorry again and thanks in advance for anybody that helps.:P

Don't worry mate. You can try a half face mesh mask if you like, there is a good few of us in the field wear some of them. Any good Airsoft shop stocks them

I use either bolle tracker glasses with mesh lenses and a mesh lower or if playing indoors where a little extra protection is required i use this;

The sun peak and throat guard can be removed if you like. Despite being a one piece, it does not really restrict breathing or effect your cheek weld when aiming your gun.

Just to add, maybe your best bet is to visit your local retailer and try on a few different masks and see what is comfortable on YOU, make sure you check its comfortable on you, fairly secure (shake & nod your head a bit to check movement) with a good seal around your eyes. Try aiming down a rifle a few times to check its ok for you and try pick a model that does not overly restrict your perifial vision.

That is entirely up to you, not the most comfortable in the summer I'd imagine though.

I think an ordinary Ball cap or beanie, glasses or mesh glasses and a half face guard would do you fine.

But that is my opinion it may not suit you.

Sorry should have mentioned you would most definitely need eye protection of some kind. Whiter it's made of mesh or has lenses is up to you, as both have their pro's and cons.
I would say you would not want a balaclava at all if you go for half mesh mask as some models cove your ears aswell as mouth so your covered all round
