"If you wear a fast helmet and have been searching for lower face protection / mouth protection, this is the perfect solution for you.
After trying all the other mesh options on the market, I had high hopes for this, as the design seemed to fix all the issues I had with other options. This knocks them all out of the water.
This is nice and small, exactly what I wanted. I just covers your mouth, nose, and about half of your cheeks (though I will still cut the nose coverage to be a bit shorter). If you quickly bend it inwards (took me 10 seconds), it easily and closely hugs your cheeks, letting you easily get a good check weld on your gun, unrestricted. Additionally, I love that it clips onto the helmet and secures to the velcro on the helmet as well. That was one of my biggest issues with other mesh lower face masks, that they use straps that need to go underneath your helmet. This solves those issues.
Pros:
Small and minimalist
Light
Clips onto helmet
Fast and easy to attach
Secure
Comfortable
Cons:
Nose part might be a bit big for small faces; easily remedied.
Clearly not applicable if you do not wear a fast helmet

"Gets the job done. I was messing with how it fits on my face, and the fabric lining was already starting to come off. Also, the mesh feels like a cheese grater on your face. People say to mold it, but no mater where it is toughing your face, it will be painful after a while. To fix this I duck taped soft cloth to where my chin rests and this seemed to solve the problem.
Pros:
Cheap
Gets the job done
Cons:
Cheap quality
Uncomfortable (which can be fixed)

"If you want a one piece helmet set up. This is a good way. I paired this up with the helmet with a built in visor. Onlything lacking is ears

"It's a very good mesh mask very protective overall for a good price.
Pros: Designed for bump helmets that have clip slots (this is a pro for me I don't like over the head mesh mask)
Sturdy and built for every kind of face
Cons: I do have a problem with the mesh mask pushing against my nose. But this can be solved by wearing a balaclava like i do for neck and face protection. It's not fun to have BB's shatter and go down your throat

"Ok so I got this thinking that it would just strap around my head, but that is not the case. Should have RTFM. HOWEVER, this is a quick fix with some binder clips or what have you. Very good, the only small gripe is that is crushes my nose.

"The pros: It fits on the bump helmets as it should, and you don't have to deal with a blanket of multiple straps to hold on your face protection in addition to your eyepro and helmet.
The cons: It basically just fits up against your face/mouth/nose with no relief. It's like you ran into a screen door and stayed there with your face smashed up into it. It'd be so much better if there were some padding in there to push it off of your mouth/nose.
Also, there is no ear protection, so unless you take care of that in other ways, you need to be aware that there have been injuries where BBs have BEEN SHOT INTO THE INNER EAR, REQUIRING SURGERY.
I far prefer my Jade Dragon face mask that covers my face and ears, without smashing into my face.

"Ouch. I guess my face is bigger than I thought it was. This was way too small around my nose and it made it very uncomfortable with my goggles. It really cuts into your nose . I'm sure it's a good mask if you have a smaller face the clips works well and the velcro was fine. I've bent it every way I can just to see if I can make it comfortable. This mask could really use some padding . In the long run I wouldn't recommend this mask.

"Not sure if my clips were made incorrectly, but they pop out of the rail lock if any sort of pressure is applied to the elastic. Anyone have a fix for this?

"First off, this is a great mask, BUT, if you have a large nose, it's not going to be comfortable when wearing it...
I have a slightly larger than average nose for a woman (which may be average-slightly large to most men), and wearing this mask is highly uncomfortable. It smashes down my nose and digs a bright red waffle pattern into the skin, which is pretty painful, and being that I bought this for protection, the only thing I can think about when wearing it is how uncomfortable and painful it is.
I have tried reforming it, but the metal is not very flexible; I bend it vertically so I have more room for my nose, but it squishes my cheeks; I bend it back horizontally to fix the cheeks and nose, and it squishes my nose. Overall, the thing just does not want to bend around the nose area in any direction.
To make it a little more comfortable, I had to get some black stick felt and layer it on the nose area just so the wire doesn't dig in, which helped the painful waffle pattern on my nose, but it still squishes it down.
I would totally recommend this mask to people who do NOT have a large nose. If you have a large nose, you may want to look for something else.
Other than that, the clips that go into the bump helmet work great, the velcro is super effective, and the lower face coverage is good. Just look for something else if you have a larger nose.
