Description
Big Foot Strike Steel Mesh Mask with Ear Protection (OD)
The Big Foot Strike Steel Mesh Mask with Ear Protection is a lower-face mask in olive drab (OD) with integrated ear covers. It protects your mouth, teeth, cheeks and ears from BB hits, all areas that goggles alone leave exposed and that are painful to be hit on, especially at close range.
Steel mesh lower masks are a familiar sight at UK sites, and this Big Foot model goes a step further than many by including mesh ear protection. It gives sensible protection at a budget-friendly price and suits both new players and anyone wanting a spare.
Design
As the name says, the mask uses steel mesh, which stops BBs while letting air move freely. You can breathe and talk to your team easily, and because warm breath escapes through the mesh, goggles are less likely to fog than with a solid mask.
Mesh ear covers on each side protect the ears, which are easy to overlook until you take a hit there. Check the product images for the strap layout and to see how the mask will sit with your goggles and headwear.
Wearing it
Put the mask on before your goggles so the two sit together without a gap, then check you can turn your head and bring a rifle up to your cheek comfortably. The ear covers slightly muffle sound, but you can still hear calls and conversation; if you use a radio headset, try it with the mask before game day.
Colour
Olive drab works well at woodland sites and pairs with green, ranger green and woodland camouflage kit, helping the lower face blend into hedges and undergrowth.

Compatibility
Designed to be worn with full-seal, impact-rated goggles or glasses, which most sites require. It works with most caps and many helmets, but masks with ear covers can sit differently under headsets and helmet straps, so try your full setup together before you play.
Care and maintenance
Rinse or wipe the mask after use to remove sweat and mud, then let it dry fully before storing so the steel mesh and any metal fittings do not rust. A soft brush clears dirt from the mesh without damaging it.
Look over the mesh and straps before each game day. Replace the mask if the mesh is dented, split or pushed out of shape, and avoid crushing it at the bottom of a kit bag.
Who is it for?
Players who want light, breathable lower-face and ear protection in olive drab (OD), whether buying their first protective kit or adding a spare to the kit bag.
