I would rather look like a dork on the field with a mask than at work with a broken tooth, lol. I just found an 'Extreme Rage' 20/20 mask with thermal lenses and built in fan for $65 cdn at MR Paintball in Calgary. They told me that price was a mistake on their page, but they honored it (supposed to be $79.95 w/fan). I cant even make it get foggy so far. MAKE SURE you buy the dual layer thermal lenses and it makes a big difference, plus if one layer cracks or something, your goggles are still functional, you just swap out the damaged layer later for $35. I just wrap a shemaugh around my head, pull it down to my chin, then pull the mask over that, using the chin strap to hold the shemaugh in place under my chin, covering my neck. 0 skin exposed, decent air filtration and good head camo all in one, plus cheaper than a good pair of real tactical goggles alone. It will make sighting tricky, as has been pointed out, but its certainly not impossible. Its the trade off for keeping your expensive dental work guaranteed.
The BOLLE t800s are very comfortable though, tried them on. I first thought, either shemaugh or balaclava and T800s, but the only sure way to save those chompers was the mask. I've spent over 2 grand fixing my teeth up from breaking them out doing other dumb shit, so $65 for a mask is a smaller price to pay. I say wrap your head in a shemaugh, instead of balaclava, it tends to have more layers of material and breathes better and go goggles or mask, your choice.
EDIT: Apers sig is a good example, though you can get shemaughs in OD or tan as well. How well does it take down the velocity Aper?
