Mossy Oak, 3/4 spandex.. love this mask. I wear it around my neck when moving to the next spot. Is very fast, and pretty comfy..

That's what I use.  I also bought a loose mesh one for warmer places and times of the year.

My wife made me one with eye holes in it, but it limited my vision so I rotated them to the back and wear the camo face mask much like a bandit would with the addition of a spacious head net when the buffalo gnats and/or mosquitoes become too much. To my knowledge, I've never been spotted because of my face mask.

One very important point about facemask choice: If you wear glasses, you will have to deal with fogging issues with certain types of facemasks. If you wear them, you should be aware that at the moment of truth when that gobbler is getting close, your excitement level will effect your breathing and your glasses are likely to fog up with certain types of facemasks.

I have to wear a cap with netting that hangs away from my face.  If I wear a tight-fitting mask, my glasses will always fog up just at the wrong time.   

This exact situation happened to me this weekend.  I was on the gobbler and I was breathing so heavy my glasses started to fog.  I typically wear contacts but forget them and I hunt at my father in laws property which is an hour away from where I live.  Anyways, at the moment of truth, I could just barely make out the gobbler and as soon as I saw his head stretch out I touched off. He was at about 42 yards and still coming my way. Had my glasses not started to fog I would have let him come closer.  I now have another 3/4 facemask that breaths much easier that I will use the next time I forget my contacts haha.

3/4 mesh mask for me.  Many advantages.  Quick to put in place if required, covers everything except eyes with a hat, won't fog glasses like tight masks do, cooler in warm weather

I use a 3/4 primos mask, it's light weight and cool.
X2, and can be worn around neck when in between birds etc.

If I had saved all the money I spent on hunting, I'd spend it on hunting.

I still use my 20 year old quaker boy 3/4 mask. It smells a little funny but other than that its good to go!

Cheapo full mask.  I put it on when I get out of the truck and take it off when I get back.  Such a habit now, it is like second nature.  I get a new one every few years, for reasons of color and odor.  I usually soak it with a bit of bug spray each trip.
