Recon Face Mask - Black

Full steel mesh masks protect well and are miserable to wear. They tug beards, press metal against your cheeks, and most people end up lifting them — at which point they protect nothing.

The Recon takes a different approach. The mesh is concentrated where it is actually needed, over the teeth, and the rest is ventilated padding. You get the protection that matters without the full-face metal cage.

The padding is plush and ventilated, which is the detail that decides whether a mask stays on for a full day. Airflow is maintained rather than trapped, so you can sprint and aim without fogging your own goggles from below.

Retention is a dual elastic strap system plus a rugged nylon head strap, so it does not shift during hard movement, and the elastic straps are adjustable. Kombat list it in Black, Olive Green, Coyote Tan, BTP and BTP Black.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

A mask you keep lifting protects nothing. Comfort is a safety feature, not a luxury.

Teeth are the part worth armouring. Full-face steel mesh adds heat and beard-pulling for less benefit than it looks.

Frequently asked questions

Does it protect my eyes?
No. It is a lower face mask. Full airsoft-rated eye protection is mandatory and must be worn with it.

Why only partial mesh?
Because teeth are the part that needs armouring. Concentrating the mesh there and padding the rest gives better airflow and far more comfort.

Will it fog my goggles?
The ventilated design is intended to prevent exactly that by letting breath escape rather than channelling it upwards.
