Protect your pearly whites with the right gear!

Posted by Nash on 20th Nov 2018

This Saturday at an airsoft game  I learned a valuable lesson about face protection. Don't skimp on it!

I was wearing my usual load out of Hero Brand SteelMouth Teeth Protection and Revision Desert Locust Googles which has served me well in the past. However today would be different...Today I would learn the price of over confidence, and the value of full face protection.

Somewhere into the second or third game, while I was crouched down on a second story balcony trying to medic a comrade. A wave of enemies launched a surprise assault by scaling up the balcony and flanking us. As flood of hostiles poured over the wall and proceeded to open fire on us, you can guess what happened next

I got shot in the face, and somehow this demon sniper from Hades managed to hit me right in the lip, between my goggles and teeth protection...I'd like to say I took it with a stoic reserve, and a stony silence...but I didn't...I screamed like a child whose candy was stolen...there may have been tears.

After the pain subsided I suited back up, continued the game and proceeded to exact my merciless revenge. However I was now deathly aware of my vulnerability and made up my mind then and there to upgrade my face-pro ASAP.

After the game I took a trip to your friendly neighborhood surplus store to check my options. Needless to say I was spoiled for choice, but I managed to narrow it down to my top pick, The Matrix Iron Face, Carbon Steel Striker" Gen2 Metal Mesh Lower Half Mask

Why?

The Protection is Unbeatable, With My Desert Locust Goggles I have complete coverage over my eyes, cheeks, ears, nose, mouth, and jawline.

The Carbon Steel mesh allows great ventilation without any fogging,

The slim profile doesn't interfere with aiming

The Price is a bargain for such a high quality mak

It look's pretty awesome

...Now I just have to choose which camo pattern to use
