G-Force Tactical Elite Face and Ear Protective Mask, OD Green

A full-face mesh mask sits between a foam face shield and full paintball goggles in your loadout hierarchy. The G-Force Elite covers your face and ears with a steel mesh face panel framed in 1000D nylon, which is the same fabric grade used on tactical backpacks. It'll stop stray rounds, splinters from wooden barricades, and most debris at CQB range.

What it does and doesn't do. This is a protective mesh screen, not impact-rated eyewear. It doesn't replace goggles. You still need a separate pair of sealed, fog-resistant goggles for eye protection — the mesh is the wrong gauge to stop a direct BB impact to the eye. What it does cover that goggles don't is the cheeks, jaw, and ears, which is the gap most players leave unprotected when they're only running eye gear.

The mesh panel. Steel mesh over the face area with a fine enough weave to deflect low-velocity impacts while still letting you breathe. Visibility through the mesh is wide, though it will scatter light at certain angles — something to keep in mind under field lights at night games. The OD Green nylon frame and head straps keep the profile consistent with woodland and woodland-adjacent loadouts.

Fit and comfort. Adjustable head straps let you dial in the position, and the ear coverage is built into the frame rather than bolted on as an add-on. Extended wear in summer heat builds up some warmth, which is the trade-off for that extra coverage. If you're running a radio headset, the ear coverage might interfere — plan accordingly.

What's in the box. The mask only. Pair it with a quality pair of goggles that seal well against the face, and you've got solid coverage.
