Evike.com R-Custom Fiberglass Wire Mesh "Templar" Mask - Black

"This is easily the best purchase I have ever made as a CQB airsoft player. I tried 2 different masks(A Dye i4 and Save Phace) before this, both of them glass, and they each had fogging issues on me. With mesh, fog no longer exists, AND I CAN FINALLY ENJOY PLAYING AIRSOFT AGAIN. Fogging will ruin the experience so quickly. Never reverting to glass during CQB games.

Now to the review,

I have a big head, so the mask does not fully cover my ears, but it is a good fit to the face and above the forehead. The inside pads are really soft and absorb sweat well. I use a beanie to cover the rest of my ears and to cover my hair. The back strap is very tight, and its easy to get on without a hat. With a hat, it can sometimes make the hat slide down along with it. Just a note and minor annoyance, but nothing to mark off points.

The mask is built like a tank, the mesh feels like hard steel, and BBs have not been able to dent or go through it in my personal testing. Paint will chip if shot close enough/hard enough, and those chips can go through the mesh. Though this is a small concern, they don't move fast and if they do they'll only be an annoyance, not gonna damage your eye.

Visibility is excellent even in the dark, and the side mesh makes peripheral vision great as well.

The only con of this mask for me would have to be the size of it in comparison to my head, but there's nothing I can do. I give this mask a 10/10 for CQB players.

"I just got this mask and i love it


pros

looks great
fits very snug
great visibility


cons
cant think of any

"Lemme start by saying I love this mask. It's incredibly comfortable, slides on easily, is low profile, covers the ears, and is all around fantastic. One review complained about the back being plain, but I like that. Allowed me to write my name on it (will help me be easily recognized by teammates). Kinda wish I had gotten one of the ones with the colored mesh, but I know the black will help me be less visible in the dark. The detail in the sculpting and the weather of the paint is incredible. However, the rust toned paint is metallic so it kinda sparkles. Minor issue but it is noticeable in the right lighting. Definitely get it is you have the money!
