[Ricochet]

I didn’t wear anything over my face for about a decade. I myself have had countless bleeders, marks and two teeth chipped. After having my front tooth repaired I was told subsequent strikes could kill the tooth. I have seen at least four other teeth taken out over the years, still thought, the odds are low.

The main issue with face masks is the transference of heat and breathe. You really want to limit the amount that gets pushed up into your eyewear causing fogging and condensation. At present I wear Oakley M-Frames with a slash strap and helo kit depending on if the field requires full-seal or not. As for my face I wear a mesh half mask that I can pull up out of the way to use my hydration system, etc. Some players also use a mouth-guard. Full masks can’t be changed or adjusted, and if they fog, you’re really screwed.
