Title: Best mesh face mask?
Post by: buzzardroost on March 08, 2016, 12:43:32 PM
Let's hear it, best mesh face mask? Looking at the underarmour version and cheaper versions. I have an Ol Tom mesh but it's not staying up on my face. Thanks!

I have yet to find one that doesn't fog up my glasses.  Tried contacts but can't wear them so I'm stuck with either face paint or fogged glasses on a wet spring morning.  I hope somebody can suggest a good one....

Hey johnplesh...check out the Bunkerhead face mask .. it's a system that attaches to you cap and will stay off your face and i don't think with that you will have anymore problems with fog glasses..

that's funny I cut one up amidst my anger last year and dangled it from the bill of my cap. It worked but I couldn't see anything. Thanks for the suggestion I'll check it out!

I'll be honest I think almost all under armour stuff is way over price for what you get from socks to coats BUTTT their mesh face mask is the best ive ever used. light, comfortable, stays put when its up, doesn't bother me down around my neck wish i could get it in bottomland

The 2 best solutions I have found for the glass fogging problem are first, this specifically designed mask...

http://www.bunkerhead.net/bunkerhead-facemasks

And the glass cleaning/treating product: PARKER'S PERFECT

This stuff really works great! I keep a small spray bottle and a cloth in my pocket all the time while afield.  :icon_thumright:

Exactly what he said. The Under Armour face mask is overpriced but it's the only one that is comfortable to me.

Get someone to help you with a marker to mark the right places to cut the mask.  Make small holes for your nostrils and mouth.

I like the Under Armour, the first one I got was the better of two I have. Got the second as a spare, which is nice, but not as nice as the older one, which I believe they don't sell now?

Hunter Specialties 3/4 Flex Form mesh face mask for me.

Same here.....hard to improve on perfection.

Wear around my neck when not in use. Fully adjustable. Minimal fogging issues with eyeglasses because of the open mesh. Affordable. I always carry a spare.

I bought the under armour face mask and gloves last year. Overpriced but the nicest of each that I own!

Hunter Specialties 3/4 Flex Form mesh facemask for me.

It has a 1 1/2 to 2 inch piece of metal that forms around my nose and an elastic strap about midway from the top. These keep the mask in place and I can even look down without it creeping up my nose. Relatively cheap too.

Unless it is hot I keep it down around my neck when not in use. Not much movement to pull it up.

I like a loose mesh type mask, shows less of the human form and tight masks are hotter and uncomfortable for me.
X2. That's about all I use anymore. Even for bow hunting, I frequently use this same model if I'm not using paint at that point. Generally paint in bow season though.

I've had the same mask for over 15 years.  It's called something like a "bag" or something.  I would by another if I could find one.  It's very big and generously cut.

I have a bunker head mask that's new but out of the pack.  I'll mail it to someone who has glasses foging issues if they will just pay the shipping.
