I would love to buy it because this looks like an awesome product. But it isn't suitable for my kit as I don't use full size goggles. Great design either way.

god I love Airsoft for this exact reason, people are always trying to find a way to do things better and develops the sport. Thank you for your contributions!

[@BrainExploder]

Gotta innovative or why even bother.

[@bangerairsoft4086]

The reason your products always look so simple is because you put the time in to make them do exactly what they are suppose to without a bunch of extra. Another great looking product man, gotta grab one next payday!

[@bangerairsoft4086]

Or I could mail ya my goggles so ya can throw a POV cam and one of these on them!

[@BrainExploder]

Thanks dude I appreciate the observation.

[@TheeShaggySniper]

Love it. The field I play at requires a hard lower mask - and after running a helmet, goggles, and a mesh mask.. there's a lot of straps that it takes a second to get the helmet on and off and has to be done a certain way. This is a great way to eliminate the extra strap while still giving you (mostly) full protection.

[@BrainExploder]

I’ve had no issues with any of the fields I go to as this covers the stuff they require, nose mouth.. and the mouth insert is hard.

[@kayleediamond985]

Best mask I have ever owned and I have the dye i4, standard metal mesh, and the onetigris slim mask. The essentials mask blows all of those away by far.

This is so dope genuinely one of the best airsoft innovators out there. A larger profile one would be so cool too with that rubber flexible material for people who would like to protect more of their face.

[@BrainExploder]

Could be a variant down the line

[@coryjohnson2314]

Great looking product and I'll consider buying one. My only suggestion/hope would be to lengthen the upper cheek part to go to the edge of the eye pro with another mounting point using the plungers. This, IMO would help protect the zygomatic bone area and help prevent a bb from hitting the skin and rolling up under and into eye pro (something I see a fair amount of on the field).

[@BrainExploder]

Thanks eventually there might be a more coverage version. I like to run a headsock underneath for extra comfort and slightly more protection.

[@eatmyrumpcheeks7365]

@@BrainExploder I’d definitely be interested in a more coverage version! I think this is great but i agree it needs to have a little more cover in my opinion for the same reason from above.

[@evanromansky5498]

I pitch my vote to that too

[@HeliopausePictures]

Agree. I have this product and I really like it. However, I wish I had a little more protection on the cheek (than a just a bacalava) that would stop before earpro. It could be thin so as to not interfere with one's cheek to the stock. As mention two other dumbbells could connect the extra protection to one's goggles.

[@BradBeardAirsoft]

Another awesome product! I’ve been using something very similar the past few years...I might have to check this out!!

please make a tan or multicam version this is honestly a revolutionary evolvement of face masks it looks much better and its made to be more ergonomic. With more camos and colors this could be widely sold to people looking to make specific loadouts like myself.

[@christiant2032]

Anyway to extend the protection from the cheeks to jawline? Without compromising ADS, maybe use the same rubber.

[@saintzero1174]

Ordered this mask and played out with it last weekend. Can confirm, it's awesome. I live in WI 75 degree weather and lost of running around. I paired this with Xaegistac Airsoft Goggles and they work just fine. My goggles only fogged up once during the day and that was when I had my head down while I was taking a breather after sprinting from one end of the field to the other, so more so my fault because of the way I was breathing. Whole set up is plenty comfortable, enough room to breathe just fine. 10/10 I even recommended this mask to several people when I overheard them talking about mask fogging.

[@BrainExploder]

Happy to hear this 👍

[@Stew_Pid]

Yeah definitely having the ability to buy more dumbbells would be a good idea. After two milsims one broke and the other one is well on its way. I think it's a matter of rub damage from the edges of the goggles where they insert. The other piece is already split and has seemingly been cut into by the edge one layer deep. This is probably from the slight movement of the mask when using a drink tube and not being able to just pull it away since its attached to the goggles. I may poke a hole in either side and secure it with a strap to either side of the arc rail like my goggles are and what is shown in the video. Otherwise I cant imagine that the other two sets that come with the mask are gonna last much longer seeing as I've got at least 6 more milsims before the year is up.

[@anderspaulsen7495]

I have the same problem. The dumbbells are really an Achilles' heel.

[@knightairsoftwarrior]

where can I get more of the dumbbells connectors for the mask? I had lost some and torn some from heavy uses

[@mudonyourface6432]

This is not the intended mounting method, but I zip-tied this to my helmet chin strap, and it works incredibly well, especially if you're running shooting glasses or low-profile goggles.

[@BrainExploder]

This might be a 200iq move. is there pics or video?

Also works with Lancer Tactical Aero goggles! I can confirm! I just removed the vent pieces at the bottom!

As a guy that isn't very athletic trimming down unnecessary weight helps and the design is great for protecting the essentials, breathable, pushes breath away from your goggles so you don't fog i need it

[@wote2760]

Wish this was more widespread. Such genius design. If only there was a different version that has one cheek protection, with option for either left or right.

How would you say the fog resistance is with a balaclava and a base ball cap in 70-90 degree weather? Just with no foam ess goggles.

[@AbixxxD]

Hi! Could you tell me, if can I use headphones sorin supreme under this helmet (guerilla tactical)? I am not sure if the headphones can be put inside the helmet but I saw in one of your films that you did that, so I would be greatful for some opinion or information 😊

[@bentejada-ingram1274]

Hi, can anyone tell me if it would work wearing a regular onetigris or similar facemask underneath this, rather than a balaclava? Reason being, I still want the check and ear protection (I like this mask because of the nose gap being covered)

[@feverish666]

Lots of ESS profiles and Revision Desert Locusts available on eBay for $20-$30 new military surplus.

[@BrainExploder]

Should work with most large goggles, some just might need a vent hole added to run the dumbbell attachment through, this can be done with a hot iron or a heated up piece of metal, just please be careful.

[@hayman1222]

I could use some help, I'm getting one of these but I just don't know what I should put them on. I have a pretty crummy valken goggles, I'm planning in getting ither ESS turbofans or just ESS plane's without the foam. Any recommendations? But I have also heard alot of bad abt the turbofans plus its SO expensive. But I fog alot and play in humid environments and just don't know if plane ones will cut it. I plan on wearing it with a hat and some earmors also.

[@BrainExploder]

I had turbo fans and I didn't see a huge benefit also for me they made a ton of noise on the gopro which was a killer. Regular ESS goggles with the foam removed work really well when paired with this mask.

Not sure anyone is still gonna reply to comments here, but this thing keeps flipping ass up. The nose piece drops towards my face and th bottom shoots upward, rendering the item useless.

[@justincurll1110]

Just ordered mine. ABout time someone made this thing. So many airsoft retailers overthink stuff.

[@zot8218]

This looks awesome< however I notice with the Revision goggles there is that gap that is just big enough for a BB to sneak through, my current mask setup has this same issue, you might think the chances that a BB will sneak in there is really small, but it happens surprisingly often and stings like a m'afk, have the scars on my nose to prove it. That ESS fitment is superb looking though.

[@BrainExploder]

ESS definitely a better fit the foam heads do throw off the fit a little as they seem to be smaller than an avg human head and the mask hangs more than it would on most faces exhausting the gapping.

[@feverish666]

How is the compatibility with ESS Influx goggles?

[@BrainExploder]

There is a minimal gap on the Revision goggles which gives a small chance of a BB getting in and not without slowing down as it frictions against the goggles and mask but the ESS goggles form no gap.
