Matrix Iron Face Carbon Steel Striker Metal Mesh Lower Half Mask

[xxTAARGUS]

Would the gen 2 work with the revision bullet ant goggles and could you wear it with a mich 2001 helmet?

[rev1ction]

These mesh masks are somewhat moldable. I use the full lower mesh mask (not sure the gen) but I pinch the nose area of the mask so that it fits right under my Flakjaks. In fact, my Flakjaks overlap the mask a little bit on the upper portion of the mask, protecting my eyes from the bottom, still maintaining seal on the sides, and on the top - in addition this allows me to have full range of view not impeded by the contour of the mesh mask.

If I wear glasses do you think It would be ok if I were too wear my glasses with a gen1 or 2 half face mask along with my glasses or would I need goggles? I'm blind in my left eye and still new too airsoft.

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@Truesshot1

Definitely wear full seal ANSI certified goggles.

[Truesshot1]

@auburnmedicalgroup Ok Thanks, just trying not too go fully blind.

[Wil8789]

what would you recommend for an XM8 PMC loadout a gen 4 or a gen 2? 

[madcow3095]

what goggles can fit for the gen. 2 that wont make me broke?? i need some goggles

[ryando67]

@madcow3095 well the goggles i bought were the xpower antifog goggles on evike,there anti fog and only 10$ just type in xpower in the search bar

[KukyCrazy314]

can a helmet be worn if you have the gen 1

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@KukyCrazy314

Yes, you can wear most helmets with the gen 1.

[KukyCrazy314]

so would the gen 1 work with flak jak googles

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@KukyCrazy314

There may be some gapping, depending on the shape of your face.

[KukyCrazy314]

if i wear a x factor 2001 MICH helmet and flak jak googles would this fit .... work?????

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@KukyCrazy314

You would probably want to look at the Heroshark. I made two videos on the Heroshark. Be sure to watch the later one which demonstrates the removeable ear covers for use with helmets.

[USparatroopersurgeon]

@fisherbois So it penetrated the mask? Should I buy this or save phace?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@USparatroopersurgeon

Save Phace is the better mask.

[USparatroopersurgeon]

@auburnmedicalgroup But does save phace cover your ears?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@USparatroopersurgeon

Yes, It covers the ears.

[KukyCrazy314]

@USparatroopersurgeon i had the save phace and for me it was a waist of money... the fogging was unbelievable .... to a point when absolutely no view.... also the foam fell out while i was playing and i lost it becuase i didnt relize it.... and some srews fell out! but it u want a face mask go with this combo

[quepthys]

wow, I was stuck choosing between a cheap neoprene mask or just shelling out a few more bucks for the striker and, after seeing this great review, I bought the striker and haven't regretted it.

[SidnykHD]

Hey, Im 12 Yr, wud this fit?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@SidnykHD

I would expect it to require some modification. You might want to use some pliers to bend it into a tighter fit.

[KillaWafflez]

is this a good mask?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@KillaWafflez

The Gen 2 is good for the price. Don't get the Gen 1.

[silenceimurderyou]

@auburnmedicalgroup do you have the gen.4

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@silenceimurderyou

No.  I do not have the Gen 4.

[CptFreeball]

A question: Who would be shooting that close to some at any point during an event? I completely understand the purpose for the demonstration, but it is a little impractical in my opinion.

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@CptFreeball

I have documentation of exactly that happening at two fields where I have played. I like to think that both were accidental. CQB environments can have surpising events occur due to the speed and proximity of the play. We all hope that experienced players would call a bang kill or parlay, but accidents can and do still happen. My experience caring for injured patients affirms that if something could happen to cause an injury it will happen sometime to someone.

[BIGBo0mzZ]

guys can u help me decide between v1 or v2 striker or the Hakkotsu mask

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@BIGBo0mzZ

You get better protection for a much lower price with the Hakkotsu compared to V1. V2 adds ear protection, but it costs more. Let your wallet guide you.

[brutechieftan]

my closest field sucks soo much!! i cant even wear the gen4 with revision goggles!! i have to wear a stupid paintball mask i cant even use my EOtech on, i was allowed to use the gen4 with goggles before idk why they changed the rules

[MegaDrainProductions]

would u say that using this for a sniper would be good? this is the sniper: tsd sd 97 on airsoftstation

[MrSuperboss101]

i need to know if these would work with arena flak jak goggles i need to know soon!!

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@MrSuperboss101

I have not tested this mask with the Flakjak. I know that the Flakjak works very well with the inexpesnive Hakkotsu Ironface mask.

[kingd3001]

Hey doc airsoft you should take a look at the black bear airsoft raider mask a very good copy of the brass guard version matter of fact i have review on one

[JakeBrockTV]

do a review  for the atrix Iron Face Carbon Steel "Striker" Gen4 Metal Mesh Full Face Mask - Black

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@JakeBrockTV

I do not have interest in working with the Gen 4. It does not have a solid barrier for eye protection.

[JakeBrockTV]

@auburnmedicalgroup well if you ever can ill be happy!

[kVaulkyrie]

@auburnmedicalgroup can't you just stick a pair of full sealed glasses over the mesh (does defeat the purpose of mesh though)

[MegaDrainProductions]

the have a full face mask version of this on evike would i have to wear safety glasses or goggles

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@MegaDrainProductions

I only recommend full-seal goggles for skirmishing.

[ToushiroZX]

Would the gen2 be good for scoping for snipers?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@ToushiroZX

It would work.

[firebad0]

do you yourself play airsoft? that would be cool if we could get some footage of you

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@firebad0

Just imagine the best player ever, plinking noobs left and right, double wielding SAWs while lobbing grenades with his teeth... and you will have an idea of what I think the guy looks like who keeps me enternally dressed in my deadrag.

[firebad0]

@auburnmedicalgroup thats hilarious. im not really sure what advice to give other than keep your head down, and don't attack, ambush.

[ToushiroZX]

Would you recommend a matrix Tactical Multi-Wrap / Recon Wrap to stop fragmentation for this mask?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@ToushiroZX

I have never tried it. I would try it if they would send one to me.

[ToushiroZX]

@auburnmedicalgroup that would be a helpful video, seeing what is better recon wraps, neoprene, ect. over those metal mesh masks.

[DarkWorld2450]

Thanks for speedy replies. I wear glasses so the issue of fragments isn't as big a deal for me. Could you do a video on how different types of goggles and masks work over glasses? That would be very useful.

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@DarkWorld2450

I have very limited data on wearing eyeglasses. The better goggles like ESS and Revision are made to take Rx inserts. The best product I have had is the Eye Tactical CM 110 which allows wearing eyeglasses without a problem.

[DarkWorld2450]

I meant a more in depth review. Your models appeared to be too lazy to do anything other than stand around in them. This video was good, as you showed the mask in use, cheekweld and such.

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@DarkWorld2450

Thank you for noticing that we try to improve our videos when where we can. I no longer have the Praetorian, but I would not spend time making another video of a wire mesh product that covers the eyes. I prefer to concentrate my work on other types of products when comes to the face, like lower face masks or solid barrier eye protection.

[DarkWorld2450]

Can you do a review on the blackbear mesh masks and the fencing style mask?

[DarkWorld2450]

Will you do a review on the black bear mesh masks and the mask that looks like a fencing mask?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@DarkWorld2450

We did the fencing-style mask by Brass Guard on our Brass Guard video. I have not yet received samples of the Black Bear masks to test.

[SHWELL11]

Your finding mirror mine. I did an extreme testing with these items.. They held up nicely. I wear the Vers 2 regularly and it performs well. I also had to wear my Goggles OVER the mask for better protection, and better comfort.

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@SHWELL11

If you ever get a chance, try the new Heroshark with the removeable ear covers. He made mine to fit with my ESS Profile. It is really cool to have the mask and goggle work together without having to push the goggles down on the front of the mask.

[SHWELL11]

@auburnmedicalgroup I am actually in the process of ordering one now. Thanks for the input and recommendation. I just had to convince the Wife that I NEEDED a new mask. lol. Thanks again.

[wikinerd]

Fragmentation results from cheap BBs with close impact and high FPS, not because of the mask.

[TeamPhoenixAirsoft]

does the revision goggles fit well with the iron face mask?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@TeamPhoenixAirsoft

The Revision Desert Locust and Revision Wolfspider both fit well with the Hakkotsu Iron Face. A video demonstrating this will be released in the next two weeks.

[TeamPhoenixAirsoft]

@auburnmedicalgroup cool, thanks!

[OrdinatorMan]

I got one of those Gen1 Striker masks, and it's not the most comfortable. But when I do get it to fit right, my mustache whiskers poke through. Kinda annoying.

[WLPKalenov]

Eh as with all sports theres risks (and rewards) to this sort've thing. Personally if I was to pickup one of these masks I'd have Baklava under it, or go for a full mask like something by Cactus (with goggles under it, ofcourse) or Save Phace. Sadly the Cactus Hobby masks are video-game based (although not to big of an issue), and Save Phace masks can have a small impact on your ability to get a proper cheek weld.
