Since you've got time to wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive, get this mask. That company KHMountain do them in a few different colours too.
These are very good to see through, not so good for glancing down. But then again, lower face protection prevents glancing down anyway. This becomes an issue when you're walking through undergrowth and, at first, when you need to change mags or get something out of a vest pouch. Of course you can always bend your neck to look down, it's not like a gladiator helmet or anything!
But you need to learn to do stuff like that without looking anyway, because eyes need to be scanning for targets if you want to avoid ducking behind cover to get a pyro out and light it, then pop up ready to throw only to be shot point blank by the person you were going to throw it at, who has sneaked up to your position while you were distracted...
And yeah, boots.
More of my opinion.
