it was overcast and probably I think around 12c my team went out all sporting balaclava's for mosquito protection no one overheat. sykes mask's can get hot, army of two masks are ghey and have huge blind spots.

Brass guard stalker mask. mesh so it breathe's cover's alot of your face and it looks badass

For a PMC kit?

How about a baseball cap with the logo of a gun/kit company, like HK, surefire, Eagle, etc?

I wear a skull balclava like the one Ghost wears from COD. It actually is quite comfy and nice to wear, however with any type of goggles, even if they are thermals, they will fog up badly if you are breathing too hard, which is the cause during most games. I haven't tried using a fan yet (don't know if that would solve the problem) but its worth trying.

Does help against bug bites though.

Which balclava do you have?

I personally like the balaclava look myself just for show.

I recently purchased for 30$ an under armour heat gear hood. So this is made for the hot weather and it has that...technology i dont understand...that keeps the sweat from your body and over heating.

I wear a black police balaclava my girlfriend bought for me (she worked at local police station). I have gamed this in 35+C and never had a problem with it. It is made in nomex and is extremely light/breathes well. People on the field always think i must be overheating but i really like the additional coverage to the face (i meet many clients and i found it definatly reduces blood blisters).

I wear an OD mutliwrap myself. It's a lot thinner than the balaclava and has a bunch of uses. Check them out over.........
here.
Couldn't find it on Army Issue's site, but I know he has/had some.

BobbyDangerous · August 20th, 2010, 08:37

I usually wear a balaclava rolled up and then have a shemagh over my face or around my neck..

You could wear a bandanna around your face, if you get a good one it actually doesn't look that bad, but that is if you are going for merc, not PMC. For PMC I would say baseball cap with sunglasses (proper ones, of course :P), but that's just me.
