    I go with goggles and a lower mesh mask, gives me teh protection i need and allows me to breath properly

    I've always been a fan of goggles and keep your mouth shut lol.
    But a balaklava was nice to take the sting out but it didn't stop it hurting. so if hats your aim then it won't work.

    If I was in a game with a lot it people, I'd sometimes just throw a full face mask on out of convenience did to the increased likelyhood of being hit repeatedly from multiple directions.

    full face mask and a cap to stop the auld hair from gettin hurt

    Well I ended up buying:
    Black balaclava (only eyes area visible 1 big hole not 2 ),
    Scarf 30 cm high.
    Helmet.
    Goggles.
    Should be fine adn should look good :D Also ib ought a small face mask, with metal like mesh, will see how it looks if I wear it under balaclava.

    Yeah thats the problem. Hopefully it will be cold some days. But then again, cold = my glock ****ing up on shooting with green gas.

    Personally, I use a lower facemask of metal mesh and some cheap safety goggles, with a boonie hat thrown on top.

    Does the job great but the facemask can be a little uncomfortable at times. Funnily enough, I never get shot in the face with the mask on, which always make me think of how much more comfortable I'd be without the mask. The second I take the mask off though, the BBs start to home in on my face. :pac:

    no matter what you have you should be warm most of the time
