Description
Big Foot Small Flying Mask with Mesh Goggle (Round Mesh) (OD)
The Big Foot Small Flying Mask with Mesh Goggle is a one-piece airsoft face mask in olive drab that combines a lower-face guard with a built-in round-hole mesh goggle (as named). It is listed as the small size, so it suits younger players and adults with smaller faces.
Big Foot makes affordable protective gear for airsoft players, and this kind of all-in-one mask is popular with beginners, casual skirmishers and anyone who wants quick, simple face cover. The olive drab finish suits woodland and green military-style loadouts. At this price it also makes a handy loaner mask for friends trying the sport for the first time.
Design
A flying-style mask covers the eyes, nose, mouth and cheeks in a single unit, so there is no gap between separate goggles and a lower-face mask and nothing to line up between games. Pull it on, adjust the strap and you are ready to go.
As named, the goggle section uses a round-hole mesh rather than a plastic lens, so it lets air through and will not fog. Looking through mesh gives a slightly darker view than a clear lens, and in poor light it can be harder to pick out detail, but most players adjust within a game or two.
Eye protection and site rules
Mesh stops whole BBs and lets air pass straight through, which is why it does not fog. The trade-off is that small fragments of a BB that shatters on impact, and fine grit or dust, can pass through the openings. For this reason some sites do not accept mesh as eye protection, and others only allow it for certain games.
No impact or safety rating is stated on our listing, so please check your site’s rules before you rely on mesh as your eye protection. If your site requires a sealed, rated lens, use the mesh item as extra protection alongside approved goggles or glasses, not instead of them.
Fit
Because this is the small size, players with larger faces should check the fit details in the photos or ask us before ordering. Adjust the strap so the mask sits evenly and stays put when you run, crouch and turn your head, and check that you can still get a clear sight picture when you shoulder your replica, as a full face mask can change where your cheek sits on the stock.

Compatibility
This is a stand-alone mask and does not need to attach to a helmet. If you plan to wear it with a cap, helmet or headset, check the photos to see how the strap sits and whether there is room for comms. It is not designed to go over prescription glasses. The same mask is also listed in black and tan.
Care and maintenance
Brush dust, mud and dried debris off the mesh with a soft brush after each game, then wipe the frame and strap with a damp cloth. Let everything dry naturally at room temperature before packing it away, as steel mesh left damp can start to rust, and keep it away from direct heat.
Inspect the mesh before every game. If it is dented, has a broken wire or is coming away from the frame, replace the mask before using it again. Replace the strap if it has lost its stretch, and store it in a bag or pouch where heavier kit will not crush it.
Who is it for?
A low-cost, quick-to-wear full face option for players with smaller faces, younger players and anyone wanting a spare or loaner mask in olive drab, at sites whose rules it meets.
Please note: No impact or protection rating is stated on our listing. Check your site’s rules on approved eye protection before use, and wear rated eye protection where your site requires it.
