After seeing three incidents of people having teeth damaged in airsoft I am considering investing in some protection. The last poor lad it literally shattered his front tooth! The things is they all look really uncomfortable and annoying! Can anyone recommend a decent mouth/lower face protector?I figure it's better than a £400 dentist bill!

 
i wear the V2 mesh mask thing, with ear pro, fits with most of my goggles / headwear and saves my teeth!. Not had a problem, read some the topics Jedi posted, its all about personal preference

 
When choosing face protection bear in mind that getting shot in the ear sucks!

 
I used to wrap a shemagh around my face, until recently, now I use the 'PDW mesh masks'. They also clip into my helmets with rails. On my helmets without rails, I use the head strap with goggle retention straps attached to the rear, along with goggles.

I've used these for a few games now and found them to be the most comfortable set up I've used, and the first I've actually been happy with.

One of my set ups,



 
I wish I could deal with mesh as the fogging bugs me, wish also I could deal with stuff over my face as I currently can't deal with all the stuff I have tried. Your set up looks wicked and also looks pretty comfy. How do you find it?

Thanks. It doesn't restrict my breathing like a shemagh used to. The lower mask doesn't touch my face either, it sits on the goggles at the bottom, and sits against the ear protection. For the first time, I'm no longer looking for 'solutions'. I've been through a lot of stuff to get to this point haha!

 
Cheers for the suggestions, going to order from hero shark. To be honest the last tooth smash incident shocked the crap out of me as I was right next to the lad as he spat his teeth out!!! Kinda of a wake up call!

How is that ear pro attached? I usually use earplugs with mesh ear pro, but I'd much rather an all in one solution.

 
I went full face protection after being shot on the nose at point blank range which bloody hurt.

My mate has had a few facial injuries( 1 earned him the nickname of Rudolph).

I have heard hero shark gear is very good!

 
The mesh in my goggles is by Heroshark, I'd certainly recommend him.

It's attached via 'Peltor Arc rail adapters', http://www.apdmro.com/Peltor-Arc-p/70071612389.htm

If you have Peltors, that's all you need. To fit the Sordins in the picture, I also had to get these https://tnvc.com/shop/sara-sordin-arc-rail-adapter-gen2/

It's made a huge difference, getting it on before was difficult and not very comfortable. I used to leave it all on most game days, it was too much hassle to keep putting back on.

Now I have the adapters, it's easy to don/doff. Place on head, do up chin strap, pull goggles into place and push ear pro onto ears, and I can take it all off easily between games, if necessary.

 
I don't like the full mesh as I find it to be restrictive and restricts how close you can get to the gun, however I did just find and start using a half mesh / fabric mask which I find really works for me.

Amazon it's called "OneTigris Tactical Foldable Half Face Mask"

 
I just got the Tigris fold-able mask the other day.

Can 2nd Shane's comments, pretty comfy and doesn't break the bank price wise..

 
keep your mouth closed. Should be ok then. I wore a mesh mask but it tears chunks out my beard so now I dont bother. I just put a bandana on now like a cowboy but thats more for the cold.

 
Have seen people lose teeth with their mouth closed. Bandannas/neoprene are no guarantee either.

Gumshield or mesh.
