Face Protection

Grant Woo of Airsoft Hawaii wrote to let me know about some practical testing he did for his own article on airsoft face protection. I love the article. He shot various face masks and goggles at progressively faster muzzle velocities at close range to see how much protection they offer. He and I differ on the need for full face, ear, and head protection. I do not think that ear protection is important enough to be required of an airsoft player. We agree on the level of protection needed for the eyes and mouth.

ESS "Cortex Mask"

ESS has informed me that they are working on a "Cortex Mask" to accompany their tactical goggles for additional face protection. They currently have a prototype they are developing for the military. Here is a sneak peak. They tell me this design may be used or modified for a future airsoft line.
