Salop Matt Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Folks for the last 10+ years when roost shooting ive always worn a face mask of some kind, Ive tryed alsorts but never managed to settle on one ! So what do you use and recomend ? Ive tryed mesh face vails, scarfs, shemagh`s, base ball cap and hood, ballaclarva. None have been massively comfy and ive offen felt restricted by them. Or should I not bother and just wear a hat and keep very still ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam f Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Get a BUFF - https://www.kitshack.com/catalogue/index.php/cPath/140/storefront/Buffera/currency/GBP/display_vat/true Just google or look on ebay - trust me you wont regret spending a tenner one one of these! Like you Ive got a whole drawer of headgear for shooting - snoods, wraps, nets etc - all are either too warm, too cold, uncomfortable or just dont work - these things are awesome - odor free - breathable yet warm, and they do quite a few camo colours - even a couple of realtree patterns. This the only piece of shooting gear I take everytime I go out - winter or summer - couple it with a hat or cap and bingo! Make sure it's a proper Buff though - and not a copy or other type of snood etc They are made from a special strechly non odour fabric - the webiste doesnt shoe them that well, but like all the best ideas, they simple ones work best! It's basically just a stretchy loop of material you wear around your neck like a snood, and then pull up over your nose etc - in fact there are about 20 ways of wearing them!

fuzrat Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 got a deben "burka" in a kind of silky material, nice and warm but condensation builds up around the mouth and makes it all wet and sticks to my face. Not nice also have a baseball cap with an integrated mesh veil much better as it lets the condensation through but a bit chilly at the moment and as I have big plug ears I have to tuck them under the cap else its uncomfortable :lol: Fuzrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12borejimbo Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I tend to find that if you point your gun at them when they are incoming and pull the trigger they hit the deck before they see me! I just wear a hat but sometimes hold my gun over my face (if that makes sense) just to break up my outline, and its nearly at your shoulder, so just up and bang, target down.
