Any one have issues talking?
Seems like a good idea, especially if there's no issues with heat or fogging.
Been looking for something to protect my mouth that wouldn't restrict talking or be too hot to wear.

they are really easy to talk through but other people cant help but laugh when you say what you facial expression is

i was talking to my friend and said something then paused and was like " just so you know im smiling" he burst out laughing

damn these masks looks nice and sound like a good purchase, anyone who has purchased one, do any of you guys wear glasses? cuz my friend and I both wear glasses but we both want to purchase a mask each. Thanks

Jaaks · May 18th, 2008, 17:23

you could cut off the top portion of the mask over the top of the nose to give protection to the exposed portion of the face , and wear your typical goggles.

These things are made of glass reinforced resin.. so they are quite easy to modify with a dremel I would think

Used mine today, worked good. Gives you confidence to know your face is safe from damage. Bolles fit the best to the mask my JTs not so good. I will make it my mandatory CQB mask. Dunno if I would wear it for a long milsim. Good piece of gear to have it the bag.

hmm interesting, I was thinking I'd drill a couple of holes along the side so that I could possibly slip in the frames overtop of the mask. You guys think that'd work? I mean the mask is essentially shaped to be a normal face and therefore it'd make sense that my glasses would fit on the outside as long as it has the sides in place.

Now the biggest issue would be to find paintball approved goggles that both fit over my glasses and fit snuggly over the mask. Any suggestions? :P

SINN · May 19th, 2008, 15:42

yeah, i suggest a paintball mask and goggles.

Murdoch · May 19th, 2008, 16:04

And contact lenses...

Jaaks · May 19th, 2008, 19:22

unfortunately my astigmatism makes it difficult to use contacts, I could use them but would be a bit of a pain. o_0

Hi everyone,

I hope this isn't beaten to death - but how good are the goggles that come with the mask? I mean - they're 5 bucks; which kinda makes me hesitant.

If they're no good - does anyone have any good suggestions? I saw the previous post of bolles - do you guys have a suggestion for BB approved gogs for about 50 bucks?

Thanks!
