Full-head covering on mask?

The're hotter than h*** to wear.

But it's all soft rubber, so maybe you might get bounces off the top.

I really dont care for the looks of them.

[xXHavokXx]

Nope they dont bounce paint. Infact they act as funnels to turn hellfire into solid goo in peoples hair.

Whilst I understand that they don't look "cool" and are probably very hot when worn, they are intended for as full as possible protection ...A player may not feel the need for this kind of protection but a REF certainly does, the arguement that could now follow about a ref being in a firing lane deserves to get hit, is just so wrong on so many levels. A ref who gets hit in the head through the spray and pray tactics of so many players now is out of the game and so cannot do an effective job, with this kind of goggle he will be able to remain in the game and do his/her job..same can be said for that body armour that was linked to a few weeks ago...for a player no not right but for a ref...perfect. As regardless of how good all you players think you are at accurate shooting..if you were that good then you would only need 10 balls maximum Blind firing 2 or three pots seems the norm now and the refs have to contend with this aswell and they do not have nice little barricades to hide behind they have to be in the open where all these so called "firing lanes" are.

An excellent point!

MarkM has an excellent point.

Referees would like all the protection they can get.
No reason not to, and a bunch of reason why they would.
Same for body armor.

And like it or not, more coverage/protection is the future of masks and other protective gear, not less.
One day, they will be full helmets(if they can be properly ventilated, like Japanese bee keeper helmets).

Still, if I were a ref, I would take my Proteus with a fan over that thing any day. (getting shot in head > heat stroke, and it gets really hot down here. I threw up on the field once...from drinking water too fast or something)

And I'm guessing this thing really makes it sound like Darth Vader is breathing in your ear.

*edit* man, I can't spell

Refs with that bory armour and the head gear would look like aliens that were stuck in county jail with cold showers and "bubba".

I'd rather wear my invisions and take the hit in the head.

the first time i saw that thing in walmart the first thing that poped in my head was that its priceless for reffing. i don't care what it looks like. although i don't think its that bad. later AZZKIKR

[dansim]

i think it would be a kickass scenario mask, just add some camo cloth hanging of the back ala dusty from gijoe, it really doesnt look like it would be too hot, i guess its a must have if you play and have a bald head(ask wheelman about his welt/scar that he got lol)

[logamus]

the first thing i thought when i saw the pic was "oven". it is a solid idea for refs, but why not make it in yellow then? this looks like a good field/rental mask to reassure all the soccer moms who use the field as a weekend daycare that their precious will be safe.

[1ofkind]

I've seen them a couple of times. I wouldn't buy it, but the little scared kiddys would hehe.

[elpimpo]

those things would suck way bad. i love it when i get shot in the head and it bounces. yeah buddy nothing better except maybe when u take one off the face while wearing the flex 7.

Think about it 6 balls to the head when getting bunkered. OUT COLD! This thing could save you form a concusion like this one guy I know how got bunkered 6 balls to the head. I think it is a great idea. More ways to improve our sport.
