I need a better facemask

I am using the under armor real tree face ask and it is great, especially on cold mornings

I believe my current mask is a Hunter's Specialties full mesh mask.

Plenty of bugs, as well as warm weather where I hunt (although cool mornings).

I do NOT want a mouth hole, cause I want to be able to move my mouth for the mouth call when birds are close.
I like the mesh, cause it is less hot, and does not fog my glasses as bad on cool mornings.
The mesh fits loosely enough to keep ants and other critters from biting me.

I wear mine under my hat in such a way I can quickly pull it down...  I find it easier to pull it down, than pull a 3/4 mask up...
Did I do that?

I like the simple and cheap H.S.Strut 3/4 mesh mask...I have used these for years after having the same issues with a bunch of different ones like your having.

I'll second this.
I'll third this.

Check these out. I bought 5 and they seem ok. For $20 for 5, I will give them a shot.

The Sitka mesh mask has been working great for me, didn't have any issues with fogging up this spring.

I use a facemask for turks but use a burnt cork for archery as facepaint and that stuff comes off very easy.

Remember doing this for a Halloween costume back in the 80's, works real well from what I recall.

That what I use and look cool doing it I might add.

I use the UA mesh mask with the drawstring.  Best mask I've ever found but they look like they are discontinued.  The Nomad mask on the Mossy Oak website looks to be the same design.  The drawstring top to adjust fit and the length are the key features in my opinion

I am a eye glass wearer and recently  purchased a Sitka face mask. It seems that this maybe the best face cover that I have used. We will see this spring.

I used to use a dark-colored face paint until a buddy said I was a racist.

The ol Tom half buff or performance half mask. It's extremely thin and breathable and can be snatched down around your neck in no time if you need to up and move. Mouth calls sound fine coming through it

Of course macks is a little high on price.

x2 i have this one and like the fact that is pull up/down and has breathing holes where you mouth and nose go.  not too hot and doesn't fall down.  i can stick a trumpet mouth piece thru the holes to run it

Simple, cheap, works great. This is the mask I've been using for 30+ years. The wire forms around your eyes and nose and elastic keeps it pulled tight so you can always see. Keep it around your neck while walking. Pulls up quickly and is light and cool.

I agree, this is my personal favorite as well!!
