Default Face masks

Was wondering how many of you wear face masks? I do but I am very particular in that they cant bother my peripheral vision and also dont limit the sounds i hear. I notice that most guys on the tv shows dont seem to wear any for whitetail. Does anyone know of a website that sells Predator face masks??

I'm really adamant about this product.....

I tried several facemasks and gloves before buying the Under Armour, this year. I can't imagine not hunting without them, now. I used to NOT wear a facemask because I feared for the hearing loss.....but this one is AWESOME! The gloves are a perfect set, too. I'm happy I stumbled onto them.

I used to wear that span - o - flage face mask but I found it's alot easyer to put the war paint on.

I used to use the more mesh/cloth type mask which was ok, but it faded and wasnt the best quality. This year I upgraded to Scent Loks mask, when it was on clearance at gander. I love this thing, it has mesh around the ears so it dosnt obstuct hearing, and the area around the mouth can be pulled down.Plus its Scent Lok

RD....I'll STILL paint my face in the early season....due to heat. I used to worry about wearing the mask and not practicing with it. I had to remove it from over my mouth at full draw with my release finger.....the day I took my first deer....because I couldn't set my kisser button.

Recently ....I did away with the kisser button....and I won't have to worry about that, again.

Face paint still has its' place, too. Granted.

I've always worn a face mask. I used to make all my own. I even wear them in the dead of summer when it's 90 degrees at 7PM and I'm hunting on a crop damage permit. I always buy one that has some way of pulling the mask tight around my eyes so it won't effect my vision if I turn my head. GMMAT, if you need to get better hearing cut slits and poke your ears through them. I do that with my scent lok mask. If I buy a mask that has two separate eye holes the first thing I do is cut out the junk between them.

I use a light, mesh face mask for bowhunting early to mid-season, and wear a baclava usually from then on, when it starts to get colder.
