They do sell "coolmax" balas but they are expensive as hell. I'd rather put that money towards a full mask.

I wear one in the winter time. But after the winter is over I dont use anything to protect my face. Just keep my mouth shut. I have seen BBs shatter teeth, go up noses and ears and stuff.

Wear a mouth guard if you're worried about your teeth. Not the regular sports one, go to a place that sells boxing and martial arts stuff and get a combatives double mouthguard. You don't need the massively high end one, you aren't gonna stopping a freight train with it; just get a small lightweight one that'll be comfortable and that has a good breathing opening.
Otherwise a hit to the skin will most likely make you bleed, but it won't leave a mark much bigger than the actual BB.

I can't remember for sure but Underarmor was making a coolmax or similar version too. There was an asc member selling them (I just tried a search for him here but he does not show up) I remember them being $30+. Fairly sure you will find them at a local military surplus. lol I just found this now through google. Balaclava, Coolmax with Neoprene Face Mask. coolmax cool, neoprene hot in summer. Kind of contradicting. Amazon.com: Balaclava, Coolmax w/Neoprene Face Mask, Black: Kitchen & Dining Finally there is always ebay. This one has a huge eye opening though. Not really linking it. Could be the way it fits on her though. http://cgi.ebay.com/Oxford-CoolMax-B...sid=p1638.m122 Wearing a bala and getting face shot is still going to hurt like a biach though. I guessing you don't like the look of Shemagh with your kit? http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=13814

I use ir only in winter and for CQB games.
It provides some protection. Better than nothing but much less than a neoprene mask. Our limit is 350fps

^lol. My 'no balaclava' was more like $600, but that's kind of redundant, isn't it?
Point made. |

http://www.rangerjoes.com/balaclava-...ic-p-3957.html BUT, they're gouging on international shipping. Any ideas on taking a balaclava and adding some kind of hard material in front of the mouth? Some kind of thin plastic insert? I'm not too worried about my face, but I am worried about my teeth.

I was thinking more along the lines of cardboard under the bala or leather with holes in it.
