I am very picky when it comes to my gear and I have also used a 3/4 bandito for 20+ years. I've tried several other brands/styles, but I always go back to the bandito for the same reasons that you stated. My only complaint is that QB has shortened the length of them over the years...I assume to save money, but I still always carry a couple in my vest.
What's really funny is that there have been several times over the years when I have been out with other hunters who have either lost or forgotten their mask, so I let them borrow my spare....and they never give it back. Lol!
