"I bought the Matrix Iron Face Carbon Steel "Striker" Gen2 Metal Mesh Lower Half Mask and it was one of the best purchases I had ever made. One might believe that mask is uncomfortable due to the wire mesh that its made of, but that is definitely not the case. This mask will literally mold to your face. And I heard complaints that it didn't work with certain goggles including the Guarder GX-1000 Anti-Fog Tactical Shooting Goggle System which I had also bought. Originally there was an issue but the beauty of these wire mesh mask types is that you could mold them. So after a minute or so of molding the mask to the goggles they fit perfectly snug with the mask leaving no gaps and having a complete seal. This mask looks sick(like in the good way) and you will never fog up your goggles like solid masks tend to do. You can easily breath and be heard when when you speak. The only small issue I have with the Matrix Iron Face Carbon Steel "Striker" Gen2 Metal Mesh Lower Half Mask is because of its mold-ability if you pack it with other stuff and it gets squished it will loose its shape and when you take it out you have to do some remolding. when i first received the mask from evike it was pretty bent up but it was easily fixed, the simple solution to this is just be careful when you pack it.

"this is a great buy if you have goggles already in your cart or you already have them. its much easier to breather through than a shemagh and protects your nose and face. the main reason i wanted it though was to be able to use my red dot sight easier. If your a sniper or anyone with a dot , scope , or acog this is a must if you plan on using it. the full face masks dont like to let you use your sights very well and this is easier to breathe through. GET THIS!!

"if anybody says these dont work with goggles, then they are wrong. my whole team uses iron face + full seal goggles. the place we go to wont even allow glasses. this is an amazing proudct that looks badass

"Its great it makes it next to impossible to fog your goggles and blocks the heaviest BB's.

"This mask is great. my local fields always require mouth, eye, and ear protection. this mask offers mouth and ear protection, so with your glasses/goggles, you have full face protection. much better than wearing a full face mask. you CAN look down the sights using this too, incase you're all wondering

"I've had this for a couple of weeks now and I must say that this mask is pretty impressive. When I got it in the mail, it looked ginormous. It does fit on your head, but if you want a tight fight, the you're gonna have to go past the velcro straps when you wear it.
Pros.
Tactical(I can aim down my m16, m14, and m4 sights; however, the m14 sights are the most natural to aim down)
Sturdy, as it will deflect or shatter any bbs that come in contact.
Lots of breathing room
Flexible, meaning you can shape it according to how your face is
Cons.
Some goggles will take a lot of adjusting, like tactical goggles or GI goggles

"This mask is the most legit face-mask I have ever used! The carbon steel mesh material makes it so much easier to breath and cool off as opposed to the standard Iron Face masks. In addition, the Gen.2 mask style provides ear protection which is an bonus over the Gen.1 mesh Iron Face (If you have ever been shot in the ear, especially in the cold, you know how much more pleasant it is to have ear protection.) All and all, i would suggest it to anyone who is searching for affordable and functional face protection.
Pros
-Strong Mesh Design
-Easy to breath
-Cooler than normal masks and other Iron Faces
-Functional
-Protects ears
Cons
-None! It rocks!

"Fantastic best mask I have ever got. Will save you money if you considered on buying one of those $120 paintball masks buy this. It is better and lets you use iron sights more freely.One size fits all. Yes, it does work well with goggles.I advise on buying the New Anti-Fogging FlakJag Tactical Goggle w/ Razorback Technology which is on the bottom of the screen.

"I love this mask! No more fogging my goggles, easy to speak to other teammates, face and ear protection, and it looks awesome. I was able to adapt this to my ESS goggles with a few zip ties and made one mask that has a tight seal so there wont be any bb's slipping through. It forms easily to anyone's face and I would guess most goggle types out there. Over all a great investment and a vital piece of gear I use in every game.

"WORTH THE PRICE! When i got it i was very supprised about its durability. It stops bbs with ease. Great mask, protects your face, and it is low profile so you can use iron sights. GET IT!

"This is a very comfy face mask, and will protect you from getting your tooth shot out. Which actually happened to a friend of mine. But this mask is easily formed to fit your face.
by Nicholas H. on 01/13/2011
"Wow! Best mask ever. Excellent protection. NO GOGGLE FOGGING!!!!!! Very comfortable. So easy to get your eyes behind your sites you'll forget your wearing a full face mask. Much superior to the Gen 1 design. Bravo! I have the black, woodland, digital woodland, and land camo versions. Buy this mask.
