Best cqb face protection

[Oneshotonekill]

Dear Airsoft friends. 

I have just picked up myself a Tokyo Marui usp compact from the brilliant guys at Firesupport. Now I am aiming to start playing a lot of cqb. But I’ve got a quite heavy face pro so I am aiming to be light! I look down my sites so I am kinda in a bit of a mess looking for the right one. I’ve seen them dye i4 masks and they look pretty badass and they do the job, no fogging etc but is there any other masks or the general goggles and mesh. By the way I’m using a pistol only loadout but when I do go to other sites I use my upgraded m4 with scopes etc so I want one for all round. 

Many thanks George

Half mesh mask and goggles always work well. You can get fancy ones with built in fans to help with fogging. 

I'll vouch for the Dye. That was my go to mask for Airsoft and Paintball whilst I was U18 and it was great.

Hi mate was it the dye i4 mask

Best full face masks I have found for cqb are either the Dye i4 or the BBA mesh masks. I use both and find the fencing style one the most comfortable but the Dye is better in the dark as the mesh does effect your lowlight vision.

Personally I think the Dye is the best all round face pro out there.

Nah bollocks to that I have enough problems running into stuff and falling down stairs as is. 

I gave up trying to be cool a long time ago now I just settle for cocky smug arrogance lol.

Yes. 

 

[Jedi_Master]

Dye i4 all the way.  The newer Dye i5 maybe lower profile but I have not used one to compare.

I've tried mirrored, clear, and high contrast orange lenses for lowlight.

For me, Clear works best in terms of visibility but then I also found people could blind me with their torches lol.

High contrast just makes things worse imo.
So I wear mirrored as they have a small visibility loss but in return you don't get caught out by blinding lights.

I was meaning to pick up a Dye I4 but instead bought a cheap preowned m4 in order to learn tech work without sacrificing my main guns lol, oh well. maybe next payday

Wow I would’ve thought that everyone hear would’ve been for the mix of goggles and mesh or even just goggles/glasses 

 

[Oneshotonekill]

Does anyone know where I could pick one up cheap?

Hi guys what’s the nuprol one like or this other one and it’s called empire e vents

Oh I use goggles and mesh mix lol
100% does the job

no lower protection though = no teeth lol

IMO If you want mesh and goggles, go full seal goggles and full mesh

otherwise, the Dye I4 is the best option for 1 piece protection.

At the moment I’ve got lower protection and revision ballistic goggles 

 

[LightningCh]

They work fine then.

I've got Revision Desert Locust goggles

and a Heroshark custom made Mesh Mask with ear mesh protection...

All in all this was stupidly expensive and a Dye I4 would have been the better option if I had known.

The only reason I had to go so expensive with the mesh is because a generic "one size fits all" mesh mask, or even the foldable masks, don't fit me! can't do the straps up tight enough for it to stay on properly...  Even with a custom fit the straps are a bit loose at times! 

Think I need to start taping the mask to my face lol, would fit better.

A lot of people do away with the straps on their mesh face pro and cable-tie them to their goggles.

Never even thought of that!

Guess I'll steal some cable ties from work tomorrow and give it a go lol.

Only 2 points to attach to revision goggles though... unless i remove the foam, not like the foam does anything anyway... hmm will look into it

 

[LightningCh]

I suddenly remembered that I had some small cable ties sitting udner my bed in a box from my pc build last year lol.

Cable tied the mask to the goggles now  

Much more comfortable!
