Thanks for all the feed back! I think I am going to go with the wire mesh, I want to get as close to a real cheek weld as possible. @ Exarach:
That mask would be bad ass but I agree with spazz, personal shooting taste would get in the way for me.

I am just getting into airsoft. I used to paintball heavily a few years back and I realize that some aspects cross over to the airsoft side and others do not. I am curious to hear from the more experienced and creative members out there; how do you go about protecting your face? In paintball there was one option wear a paintball face mask. I figure that using a similar mask would offer the most protection but I think I want to be able to get my face as close to my gun as possible. So what do you do or what have you done? What are the pro's and con's?

Hello,

I am 26 and have a background in Paintballing. Moving over to airsoft with a few friends I haven't puchased gear yet but I figure I can get information and maybe a good used gun from someone on the boards.
