Head and face protection

Chunks · 2010-04-21 21:25:55

hi guys, Looking to get back into airsoft this summer and was wondering what the best face and head protection would be. I feel really restricted with a bulky mask on and would prefer something a little more low-pro. Would something like this with goggles do the trick?…

hi guys,

Looking to get back into airsoft this summer and was wondering what the best face and head protection would be.

Or would I be picking bits of my face up off the ground should i take a hit?

Thanks.

those types of masks are very hot, they will take the sting out of a hit but will not protect your teeth to much

have a read thought this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055882517 covers most of the risks and options with links for both eye and mouth protection, goggles glasses cloth raps, mesh masks, it covers most things

Yeah, it would probably be small site CQB, the warehouse as it's my closest venue. When I was in there last I wore a full face mask, big plastic yolk, and it annoyed me to no end.

Also looking at this fella here: http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Combat_Gear_Masks_Glasses_Milspex_Neoprene_Mask_BLACK_Full.htm

opinions?

you might need to find a new site as the warehouse has closed down

Really? Ah no. Any particular reason why?
Where's the next closest to there?

thanks
