The best face protection out there?

    I'm thinking of getting back into Airsoft and at the moment my cheap standard mask is broken. I was just wondering what would be the most comfortable face load out?
    I think the best would be goggles and a mesh mouth guard. Any recommendations?

    It has to be full face. I smile when I play Airsoft.

    I wear mesh goggles and a mesh lower faceguard, it quite comfortable and avoids fogging.

    Thanks. Do you think that if you had goggles with regular lenses, the mouth guard would cause them to fog?

    I've tried the mesh with lenses and it does cause some fogging unfortunately

    I use goggles with a mesh lower and they don't fog so i think it depends on what headgear you wear too

    Yeah good point as I usually wear a balaclava too so that may have effected it too. Or maybe they were ****e glasses :P

    How are the lower face guards? I am thinking of protecting the aul gnashers.

    I love mine, i lost a tooth a couple of weeks back when my neoprene slipped off my mouth just as i turned a corner. Then i got a mesh mask, no problem since, goggles don't fog up asmuch and i can talk easier and more clearly.

    I've one of those masks here and I don't trust the woven mesh:eek:. Replacing it with a stamped steel mesh is high on my list of priorities!

    They really are indispensable, it might need a bit of shaping to get it to sit right on you, but coupled with suitable eyewear they're a no brainier really :)

    I like the look of the Brass Guard stuff
    http://brassguardequip.com/index.html

    The Stark 2 is an interesting design.
    Also the Assassin mask allows for the use of lens type eye protection
    which I'm guessing wont fog up as the lens is over the mask and not directly
    on your skin.

    I've the Praetorian mask and used if a few times and found it
    very comfortable. Can be difficult to get down on Iron sites though.
