30-6 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Anyone know of a shop doing mailorder on a camo netting facemask with wire going all around the eyepiece ? Lost mine and can't find one anywhere after lots of searches and phonecalls, can only find the velcro or tied type which I find moves over your eyes as you move your head. What are the ones like with the wire only going over the bridge of the nose, do they keep in place ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have a number of face masks. The one with the wire over the nose work very well, as do the ones that have ties that do up behind your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p-a-s Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 i found the 1 with the wire under the nose to be a bit painfull on the old snotter after a good few hours. i now keep that 1 in case i have company and now use 1 that ties behind the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I find the tie up ones keep relocating to the wrong position. The wire nose clip with two elastic retainers seem to work real well - just don't wash them very often 'cos the ink fades. A quick rinse to get rid of your stale breath smell once in a while. I add a few streaks of black with a permanant marker after a while to bolster up the breakup look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I made one myself with a pair of old sunglasses, took the lenses out and sewed scrim round the sockets and drapped the rest of the scrim over my head. i will look them out and take a picture.

30-6 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 pigeon controller You reminded me I did the same years ago with a pair of old clear glass safety specs and scrim. Last I seen of it was my youngest boy used to wear it when he came with me, I'll see if I can dig it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this one the eye hole is soft and does not move as the rest of it fits snugly over my head, the mouth area is perforated and protrudes forwards off the mouth.

Greenhunter Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Two pieces of elastic and wire over the bridge of the nose work fine for me. Only coplaint I've got is that in certain weather conditions they cause my breath to steam my glasses up!! Great excuse for missing that easy bird!! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I just checked my winter one.... it is Stormkloth realtree hardwoods. I think it is really wonderful on a very cold day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
