Best Facemask for Glasses

[Red Beard]

I need to Google what a carbo mask is now...

 

[CRogers]

I checked them out. Scent free and removes very easily from the videos I watched. It's not supposed to smear or run with sweat or in the rain. I may try some this year.

I just did the same, looks like a decent product and the prices seem reasonable as well.

 

[CRogers]

I thought so too. Face masks have just always annoyed me but I've dealt with them just because of how hard it is to remove most paints.

Thanks guys. Contacts and reading glasses sound like the best solution, but by far the most expensive. I think I will try the gaiter first, if that doesn't work out, I may try the carbo paint. Failing to find a solution there, I will bite the bullet and buy contacts.

@CZMark You may find that contacts are pretty cheap if you're not planning on buying a year supply worth. Don't think you should need that many pairs if you're only using them dyeing hunting season.

Lasso those specs to your noggin with a redneck goggle-sling (sport strap lol) and use a basic mesh mosquito net or something cheap like that. I can’t wear contacts, so I have been using this system for a long time. Leave a bit of give in your sport strap, so you can turn your head both ways without hitching it in your collar.

I don't know if you have an America's Best glasses and contacts in your area, but they run a pretty good special. $99 gets you a three-year membership of eye exams annually, and I think disposable lenses in boxes of 6 are 20 bucks or so. Initial cost is a little high, but it'll keep you in cheap contacts for the next few years.

Face masks annoy me and even though it looks silly I've thought of using carbo mask. I've heard it comes off easily. Does it have a smell to it? That's the only thing I've worried about when I've used paint in the past.

No smell at all. it's not like the wax, or grease based camo sticks.

What the...?? Man, I'm looking for the closest America's Best glasses right now then!

Good deal. I probably will end up getting some then.

Yes, great deal. Look for the eye care club.

Since I started needing to wear glasses, I have mostly given up on facemasks. Most masks will fit over glasses fine, the problem I have is fogging of my glasses with a facemask on. Any suggestions?

I’ve been using the first lite leafy top and face mask. It’s all mesh and doesn’t fog up my glasses. It also helps with keeping bugs off my head. Ever try anti fog for ski goggles? It’s one those things I’ve wanted to try but always forget.

This was one of the things that lead me to get lasik done about 16 years ago. Better than any $ I have spent on hunting!

Keep your nose to the wind, and your eyes along the skyline.

I take my glasses off. I can't see very good but I'm pretty darn good shooting by sound. It's a good skill to learn. Helps in low light situations too.
If you wear glasses and they fog up, sound shooting again is a useful skill.

You better hope it is not another hunter moving through the dark woods. That would ruin your whole life.

I just sewed a face mask this morning made out of fine mesh camo. If the deer look at me they won't see an ugly face.
I can breathe through it easily. I sewed my Covid mask using it so I wouldn't suffocate when going in stores. I can see through it better than through fogged up glasses.




Covid Mask

If u put a small drop of dish soap on the lens and buff it till clear it will stop fog over....they have professional diver stuff for masks fogging but the dish soap works also

I use spit for scuba masks. I never forget to bring it.

 

[raisins]

cream face paint is what I use (not the oil stick stuff that itches and rubs off too easy)

face masks have me fidgeting constantly to adjust it and fog glasses

edit: you don't have to cover your face like a commando in a movie, just break up the outline with a few colors of large crooked lines to make your face look not human from 5 yards

Squirt some Rain-x on those glasses!

I use a combo of beard, gaiter and carbo mask. The carbo mask is the best paint I've found so far. I don't like the feeling of masks over my face, even when its really cold. I even pull down the gator to shoot cause i dont like it getting in the way of my anchor even though I've praticed shooting with on and it doesn't affect anything. Whatever you choose, make sure you practice shooting and moving with on. You'll kick yourself if you don't and can't get a shot cause your mask rode up when you anchored and leaned down to shoot. Ask me how I know that one.
