So guys,, what stuff do you wear for head and face protection?

Hi mate

These are the ones we use at workhttp://www.conrad-electronic.co.uk/ce/en/product/888557/Uvex-carbonvision-9307-wide-vision-goggles----Plastic----9307375----EN-166

Uvex are quality goggles, much better than lenses on M3's. I've protected my flashlight and scope with a uvex lense.

Yeh mate I work for a company that use dangerous chemicals & also the engineering dept often work in dangerous areas so we need good solid eye protection.

The info on them say anti fog so may be worth a try. I will take them on my first skirmish & simply ask someone to shoot at them. if they work I will give them a go, if they fail I will buy some mesh ones when I'm there.

I think that will be the best way forward

Haven't quite got the mesh to work as I want with the headset/helmet combo yet but I'm still working on it!

Currently it's just a FAST Helmet, standard mesh goggles and a face wrap - I play mostly woodland so mesh face protection isn't always necessary to me - I find I've normally got my AEG shouldered so that protects my face from a lot of hits.

It can be worth covering your nose. I find that getting hit in the face doesn't generally hurt too much, getting hit on the nose really hurts and can cause sinus problems for weeks afterwards.

I guess I've been lucky so far and never had that happen on the off chance - the face wrap is pretty good and I have just unrolled it slightly more previously to gain more coverage:

if these had a balistic rating then we would be sorted.

A pair of thin snoods to form a kind of ultra-thin balaclava, with some bog-standard mesh goggles to clamp it all down. Earlier iterations (/winter gear) used heavier snoods at a cost to respiration.

Complete coverage with no breathing issues, and I can get my eye down any scope. Headshots leave pretty nice bruises though because the material is so thin, but I prefer to be able to breathe unimpeded.

Cost: 5/5 (£1 each for the snoods, £7 for the goggles)

Protection 2/5 - 4/5 (dependent on material; thin to thick)

Comfort: 5/5 - 2/5 (dependent on material; thin to thick)

I've always got along better with mesh and fabric - started off with a thick Jack Pyke one and gradually got thinner.

Revision sawfly ballistic glasses, and lower mesh!
