Do a search on facemasks. That topic was active a couple weeks ago. Good luck

I bought a loose fitting with the two bands last year, didn' t like it too much. I was always figeting with the straps trying to get them comfortable. I prefer the tight fitting so the straps aren' t a problem. Also the tight fitting is made of a solid cloth versus a netting material. I think odor eleminating products work better with solid cloth than netting.

Never did like a face mask. I prefer face paint and I always wear a camo ball cap.

I' ve tried a few different face masks and my favorite is one that has a tie strap at the corner of each eye. When you tie it behind your head it pulls the fabric away from your eyes so it doesn' t obstruck your view at all and since that is the only part that is tight it still breaks up your outline and your jaw line.

I use the tight fitting face mask...Its called Camoskinz. You can get them at Cabelas from 8.95 - 14.95....I personally use the 3/4 face mask because I i can slide it down to my neck when I leave the hunting spot instead of taking it off and putting in the bag or what ever. I ancher with the fletching touch my lower lip and wtih that mask, I can feel it....With those loose fitting masks my shots would be off a bit....due to a different ancher....Good luck

I use a neck gaiter pulled up to my nose and remove when ready to shoot.Used to use face masks but couldn' t get a comfortable one that I liked shooting with. The paint and camo skins were okay but was a pain to get out of facial hair and didn' t like feel. Just a personal thing but have yet to be picked off using gaiter.Also don' t have problems with glasses fogging either.

I use what you probably saw. " Spandoflage" . It' s not that easy to find. You can pick it up a a Bowhunting/Archery store if you are lucky. You might even find it on the net. Thay even make arm covers as well. I use them during hot weather with a short sleeve T. I love them. They are snug as you said and they don' t flap in the wind, so my hearing is not impaired. It' s better than anything out there. I like to wear a hat. I use a ballcap. You let out most of your body heat from your head. That equates into odors hitting the thermals. I try to keep it confined or filtered.

I can' t wear a face mask because my glasses fog up. not even a half mask.
but you might check out the spando flage by API. it fits snug around your face and head, depends on whether you get the full or 3/4 mask.

I' ve always used the loose fitting style of facemask during the early season. Since it doesn' t fit snugly against my face, mosquitos have a hard time biting me through it. The baggy style also tends to break up your outline better.

I also wear a camo cap to both shade my eyes both from sunlight and to help conceal the area around them which may be exposed.
