Title: Help me choose a face mask
Post by: Pluffmud on March 26, 2020, 10:41:57 AM
I'm looking for a good face mask. Preferably a half mask. I don't want anything with a mouth or nose hole, that being said I'd like a material that is not mesh, but breathable. I've looked at the Ol Tom half masks, and the Hoo-Rags. The Ol Tom mask looks like it wouldn't hug your face as much as a Hoo-Rag would, but being as I'm a smaller guy, I'm concerned it will be loose. Does anyone have any experience with these two masks? Any other masks I should look at? Thanks.

I have two of the ol' toms and i like them very well. Mostly for the fact that they don't hug your face too tight. I had the same concerns about not being tight and slipping down but i had decided if that was the case, I'd double about an inch of material over on the back and sew it. It would take about 2 inches out of the circumference and all would be well in the world. Turns out, it fits great and no modifications were needed, especially if you pull it up over the back of your hat. By the way, I'm talking about the technical turkey half masks. Hope this helps

 I heard the N95 were the most sought after. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200326/0ea8b4adbe515454527a0b8d3af4deae.jpg)

Thanks for that code brother. I'm trying like the devil to find something in bottomland but both the Nomad and the Ol Tom Technical masks are completely out of bottomland EVERYWHERE lol. The Hoo-Rags have over 180 bottomland buffs in stock. I may just suck it up and get a nomad or a tech mask in realtree timber.

Well, face masks can be almost a personal thing. Full face masks ar not for me.  If I have to take my cap off, don the facemask, then put my cap back on I don't want it...been there, done that many moons ago. I use a Quaker Boy bandito which is down around my neck until I want to hoist it up. There are others with the same feature.

I have just a good ol fashion mossy oak cover. The kind with an elastic string to tighten it. A real run of the mill face mask.

Nomad. The loose fit ones work the best for me. I have them in both Bottomland & Obsession and have a couple of them in all my bags/vest in case I get one too wet from sweat, rain, or dropping in the swamp. I do have a couple of Mossy Oak's also, but when Nomad started making the loose fits they became my go to. Good luck with your season!

There are some very useful DIY masks on the internet which you can wash after using. You would go broke if you buy one mask for everytime you go outside. Better to wash and use again.

I have two ol Tom's. Full mask in bottom land and half in obsession. For some reason I wear the full mask way more often. I guess I feel more hidden?

Another vote for Nomad loose fit.
