Aron Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 As the title says does anyone have experience with the lower mesh masks you can get. I am thinking of getting a tan lower mask and tan mesh goggles to match. Opinions please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted January 3, 2011 Supporters Share Posted January 3, 2011 I wouldn't get mesh goggles, a cheaper BB or some Bio's can shatter and pass though them, causing considerably more eye damage. I use a lower mesh mask, no real probelem with shards going though it, they are slower so won't knock my teeth out. May also be wise to get one of the ones that has mesh over the ears too.... they can be mighty painfull to be shot on, espeicially in winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattswan2512 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi there i just wear mesh gogs and have never had any issues with shattering bb's and when its weather like now i just wear a full face balaclava until i get to hot and decide getting shot in the face is better than being hot! and i do get hit in the face a fair bit lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted January 3, 2011 Supporters Share Posted January 3, 2011 I have no worries aiming at all. same with everyone else I have ever asked or talked to about them, they mostly seem to be very low profile, which is good.

Hubert Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 +1 to what Dave said. Since I got balistics goggles and a lower-mesh mask, I've had far fewer problems in game. Blades of grass through mesh-goggles are very painful . Also, whilst I still steam up (I'm asthmatic, so I breathe heavily), I don't steam up half as much as when I had a full mask (like the 'bulletproof mesh-visor and plastic face guard), so in my mind, goggles + lower mesh = greatest airsofting idea since someone at ICS thought the L85 could do with a bigger brother... However - the mesh-ear protectors can make it difficult to ADS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aron Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Seeing as all the feedback seems to be so positive I may give them ago, firstly i need to find a walk in shop near me that stocks them so i can "try before you buy" haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'll be honest, had I not been able to do that (try one on at the shop I go to) I probably wouldn't have bought it. There are quite a few you can get - if there is a shop near by that lets you try them on (or has a good returns policy ) I suggest you try on a few different types. I like the nose, mouth and chin protector, as I said, I found the ear-protecting one a bit difficult to ADS with, and uncomfortable to wear.

G-Force Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 i use them and theyn are definately good. im ahsmatic too and they are easy to breathe in and more comftable than full face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshep Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I use heroshark mesh goggles and also have the heroshark lower face guard as well. Never had a problem any shattering of bb's on the mesh and visability is good. Have used these for over a year and many, many games, both woodland and ccb. Have also used bolle gogles as well, again no real problems apart from fogging (even when using cat crap/bike anti fog/soap), as I tend to perspire a bit being a rather large gent! Lower face mask is good. It has two restraining straps, one over head on round neck. Mesh is a wide weave, lower Q than the gogles, which are stamped. I put a few pads on it to raise it away from my face a bit. Not had a problem with sights as I use a reflex sight mainly. So I can recomend heroshark mesh gogles and face masks.

G-Force Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 they let me use mine. Acctualy Curly (one of the marshals) wasn't going to let me use it but one of the other marshals spoke to curly and they said i could use it, so you should't have any problems.

snuff Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 As the title says does anyone have experience with the lower mesh masks you can get. I am thinking of getting a tan lower mask and tan mesh goggles to match. Opinions please. I use both,at least you get good cover from side shots and they have less chance of falling off. I tried masks=steaming...Glasses=lacked confidence wearing them.. If it's really cold I wear a scarf/shemagh/lower mask,but in the summer mesh goggs amd lower. I've had very close impacts which have left dents but I've not seen any shatter yet,whatever suits you they're not for everybody.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
