TheFull9 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Any chance we could maybe get this moved to Gear Discussion?? This thread deserves a lot more exposure than I gets I feel. I rigged something up like this about 2 years ago but I never did a proper job of it as uscm did, up until a week or so ago when I decided that for the sake of 10 minutes with a knife it'd make a lot of sense to save the bridge of my nose from potentially getting hit when a beeb finds its' way through the gap in my old setup. So after I took the revised version to a game, here's what it looked like: This setup has a lot of advantages: Full-seal eye protection The option to use a few different types of goggle, including fan assisted versions if you're really fogging up Excellent protection for your teeth and most of your face without having yet another strap over your head/attached to your helmet rails etc No moisture-absorbing shemagh/balaclava/neoprene lower part to soak up all your sweat and the water in your breath then stick to your face Completely uninterrupted cheek weld, not something many mesh masks will give you Uber cheap, the sansei type mask and some zip ties can be had for hardly any money Lots of room for customisation, especially of the lower which you can paint/have cerkoted/have hydro-dipped to suit whichever environment you fancy Not to mention very comfortable to wear all day, I find it works best with a backwards facing cap that does't have the usual arch-shaped opening so as to just cover up your forehead that little more. Love this thing, highly recommend it to anyone who's been struggling to find that 'perfect' full-face setup for skirmishing, especially CQB: Link to post Share on other sites
Mazor Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks for the heads up! I have searched mesh mask, and tested one, but I'm not satisfied with those. Will do this, and test if I can attach Sansei lower to shooter glasses. Link to post Share on other sites
JCheeseright Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 this definitely needs to go back to the top, so I'll add in the one I've just done: Couldn't find FG anywhere in the UK for a decent price so I went with black, I don't think it looks too bad.

uscmCorps Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 It's great to see people still doing these! Link to post Share on other sites
Forti Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yeah I did the same in about Febuary, so far the only downside I've found is you don't look as cool as you think you do. Which... really isn't that big a deal when you consider the upsides. Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 My ghetto rig I prefer it this way as I can change goggles without worrying about modifying my lower face mask. The lower is from my FIRST EVER airsoft mask, almost a decade old now. It also allows me to wander around the safe zone looking like Hanibal: Link to post Share on other sites
