"I have this mask and it rocks... Any pair of goggles will work with them and the mask is easily adjustable to form to the face/goggles. I own the ironface as well as this and this way rocks over the ironface. If you've played at Warped Airsoft Ops then you'll have seen me with these on. I'm going to get a tan set next...:) Harry hold a tan set for me.

"If it slips off the edge of my goggles it has a a tendency to really dig into your cheeks. It works just as it is supposed to though and looks cool. Just be aware of this issue

"It dose the job but it’s huge but super comfortable,

"Covers most of the face pretty well. Doesn't fit with most goggles you'll have to use glasses. Also digs into the bridge of your nose pretty badly.

"Nicely made mask.
I have a hard time getting it to cover my ears and not interfere with my safety glasses/googles.
When lowered to not interfere with my glasses it leaves under my eyes exposed and digs into my upper cheeks and ears.
I have bent and tweaked it enough that I can use it, but will be looking for another mask.
May be perfect for a person with a smaller head. I wear a 7-3/8" hat for reference and not what you call a small head.

"Great mask, but it digs into my upper cheeks.

"Pros:
Offers protection to lower face, nose, neck, and ears
Very durable steel
The digital camp really looks nice
Adjustable straps
Cons:
Does not fit most faces perfectly out of the box
Tends to compress temple area
Must use tools to custom fit
Does not pair snuggly with most goggles, as the nose piece is large
Other thoughts:
It really is a nice quality mask. The fact that it covers your ears and neck along with your face and nose is not common in mesh masks. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because you do have to use tools to custom fit it to your face and goggles, as it compresses the temples and has a large nose piece. For me, I have tools everywhere, and for this I used a bench vice, tin snips, and pliers to fix it, but not everyone has these. It is a good mask, but be prepared to have to work with it a little.

"Pretty good mask, easily protects my entire lower face and ears. However, it is a little bulkier than expected. It is a little difficult to aim down iron sights or a scope, but it is still a vast improvement over my old full face mask.

"Overall pretty good, I got mine to attach to a MICH Style helmet, and overall, it's pretty good for that. The only problem I have with it is that unless you have full face goggles, they won't line up properly (the metal loops are also a little out of place for lining up with the helmet rails).

"So I decided to purchase this because it would be a better deal than buying a lower face mask and ear protection separately(I wear glasses when playing airsoft BTW). When I got it the color was right and you can adjust the mask to your liking.
Pros:
Great Deal for Lower Face and Ear Protection
Goes great with my helmet
Quality Material!
Cons:
The lower mesh/cloth area of the mask prevents you from looking down fully
Kinda Big(I'm only 13 so...Your choice)
Top piece of Velcro can be hard and you might fray some of the material doing so(Pro/Con)
Over all this mask is pretty good for its price but then again Evike charges 7.99 for shipping...

"Well being the first review I will say all that I know about mine
pros:
its allowed at every field
the Velcro is pretty nice (may tear just a bit if you wear a shemag over time or just have a big head)
very flexible
a good price
cons:
when the Velcro tears it will get uncomfortable
it is pretty uncomfortable at first
fits with a lot of goggles I am guessing (not mine I had to bend this pretty bad to get mine to fi perfectly with it)
it is pretty big so for someone with a smaller head would have to tighten it to the most it can

"it is very easy to look down the sights with this mask on, and im using low profile iron sights. the bad thing is that it is not the comfiest thing to wear, and it's kind of big.

"After owning this mesh mask for some time now, I can safely say that it is a highly functional piece of equipment for an airsoft operator. It securely fits onto my face using the two built-in straps, one being for the back of the head and the other being for the top. Having tested it in the field, it most definitely keeps BBs from harming your mouth and ears (a plus because not all lower face masks come with ear pro!)
Now, the reason why I knocked it down a star is because of the way the ear cups are formed, which makes it straining to aim down the sights on a gun. Another is that the straps are much too short of female/male Velcro, which makes having a proper fit difficult. Lastly, even with full seal goggles (I use a Revision Desert Locust), there is a small gap right where the bridge of your nose is. This was minor enough for me, as it is not a commonly hit place. However, this can be easily solved by using a shemagh and/or the like.
Overall, it's a great lower face mesh mask that will serve you well in the long run, so go ahead and get this (or your favorite camo)!

"Okay a big Big attribute people are glossing over is that this mask is NOT ideal for scoping or sniping with. The cheek guard sticks out so far that you literally have to shove your face in the scope to aim or do anything. I thought that would be important because I have played countless games while sniping with these and it's extremely hard even gets me killed more. I also agree with all the reviews above me.

"It is much larger than it looks in the picture. Also, its not .very grey more of a greenish
