I show you how to custom fit a mesh lower face mask to fit a pair of Revision Desert Locust goggles. I then remove the straps and mount the lower onto the goggles.

You get an A for Awesome Dad in Dadology. Good job, sir!
If there was an airsoft company who started making goggles/mesh mask combo like that, they sell like hot cakes.
There is one... It's called SIRMI (Mask with goggles called SIRMI Crystal). But there's a problems: it's expencive, awkward looking (lens fitting is rough, working, but rough...), and it's made in Italy (will take time to ship)
Wtf is a hot cake? Am I stupid or is that just another name for a pancake?

Yeah. They're the same thing. It depends where you are from.
4 years late, but here is a combo package

yeah that's the 1st thing I noticed😂
Bruise not welt.

You're an awesome dad
+Doxify thats your dad
+Doxify i want a dad
+Roland Belcourt wtf
People who keep saying "you should have just gotten him a full face mask". Not sure if you're talking about full face mesh mask or paintball mask but If you've ever worn a paintball mask theres not much ventilation so during the spring/summer its miserable having something keeping your hot breath in. Not to mention how easy it is to fog the lenses up on a full face mask.

I just went airsofting this past weekend with my friend and my girlfriends brother. It was 35-38 degrees all day. My friend was running a neoprene mask with lancer tactical goggles and he CONSTANTLY was stopping to wipe his goggles. I was running mesh mask with shooting glasses/Goggles and i didn't fog one time over the 6-7 hours of playing. My girlfriends brother had a paintball mask and didn't have but a few fogging problems but come this spring when the humidity gets up hell have the pain my friend had with fogging. Mesh mask/goggles or glasses is easily the best setup. Waaaay less of a hassle and you get to enjoy the experience more. Just my 2cents

Mikel Moore confused americans, hes using celsius
Not if you have DI 5’s or just double paned glass
that why i got a half face because i had a paint ball mask and every five minutes i had to defog my googles
I've used both and the paintball masks are really bad to use, they fog up and breathing is shit. but mesh mask and googles dont have this issue and they offer better protection and help with hit taking
Dad of the year award goes tooooooo......
Me!!!. Yes I won lol. No but seriously this dad is awesome.
Great video man, I have been trying to figure out the best method of going about this. Thank you! Also, I must say as an airsofter and a new Dad (5mo) I think it's really cool the way you get involved with your sons hobbies. 10 points for being a good dad.
Haha best dad ever!
The safety factor of that mod is such a necessity. But spending that time with Micro Ninja is priceless. Great job sir.
He was quick to defend those flags. Good for him. You're raising a good man.
Worlds greatest Dad! thumbs up!
DaddyRaven was that a thumb joke
next project is to attach goggles/mesh to the helmet/coms as one unit
That’s a lot easier
Micro is one of the main reasons that I play. It is something that we can share and both love.
Let's just take a moment to realize how great of a dad you are for doing that. Loved the vid btw, im gonna do this if i get a mesh.
Nice to see a problem solver ! Good job with the protection to the whole face . I work as a lens manufacturer and would like to suggest that you can use contact lenses to solve the problem off the boys glasses getting in the way as an alternative. Good luck and keep at the good jobb !
Thanks so much airsoftgeek! i got a helmet and goggles just the other week and done this to the mesh mask, works brilliantly! Took your idea step by step just without taking off the mask straps. Great video great help
Great job..My son and I are new to airsoft, I bought a mesh mask and did the same modifications as you did. It turn out great. Thanks for the inspiration.
I know it costs more but ESS goggles actually comes with a insert to put RX glasses in them...just need to go to your local eye doctor and give them the insert and they will get a set made for the goggles.
Wayne Gassmann yea mine came with those frame inserts
Wayne Gassmann revision makes them too
This is the best airsoft safety product modification video I have seen. I have added your channel to the list of favorite TH-cam channels on my airsoft medicine channel. Thank you for sharing this on my Facebook page. Please be sure to post any additional airsoft safety-related videos on my Facebook.
wow im impressed and im happy thats there are fathers like you out there that will take time from their day to ensure their sons saftey out on the field
Not only is it good protection but, it looks awseome!
i had the exact same problem came up with the same solution about a year ago and i still take it to every game.
great video
I have to give you props on the idea. Have a few younger players at the field that are struggling a bit with this same thing. Will be offering same service idea to them.
This video brought a smile to my face
The problems that micro ninja has in the video are the EXACT same problems that I have and this video really helped me thank you
All I gotta say, is thank you! I use the lower face mesh mask because it forms well to my face allowing proper cheek welds (sighting with my cheek against the cheekrest on my rifle). I do custom fit mine to my goggles, however like you I always had the issue of far too many straps. I prefer boonie hats, better for camo (I run DMR a lot and do a lot of crawling, sneaking etc). However two straps on the mask plus the goggles plus the hat was too much. So I got a helmet and attached the goggles to it, and the lower face mask straps to it. So it's all one piece. While a helmet does save me from head welts, it raises my profile one inch (I've been hit several times where I was behind cover but they arched their bb just enough to hit the top 1/4" of my helmet), even though I threw a lot of ghille material on it, the dome shape is much more of a give away then the boonie hat. I've been dying to go back to a boonie set up for a while now, and I think if investing in a 30$ glue can make a set up like this, then it's worth a shot. Happy airsofting!
Good job with the modification. The finished product looks clean
The boy's giggle at the end is what us dad's get as a reward. Priceless
Thanks for this idea, I've had problems with my half mask fitting with my goggles as well, after seeing this, I am definitely gonna do this! Thanks !
Good job, looks good! And good for you for actually involving yourself in your sons life/hobbies.
Thosr actually look really good and professional after the cut, good video
good job dad :D hope your son appreciates the work you put in
I have to say, your a pretty dedicated dad, props to you.
After watching this I decided to take it upon myself to do something similar. Had 2 masks experimented with one and perfected the other. Thanks for the help.
Hey, just wanted to say, awesome video. Keep me up!!!Also, great to see father, son things like this!
I can't thank you enough for such a helpful video! I was planning on doing a similar set up for facial protection and worried I would have to go through tons of masks and goggles because I really want those Revision goggle.
I am glad to hear that it helped. Good luck getting it together. Take your time while fitting them together. I had to use some small wire to hold them together after the glue failed The hot glue helps keep everything aligned and the wire holds it together.
Lol im 26 and play airsoft this vid was super informative and tell ur son hes lucky to have a cool supportive dad..seriously
I would have never thought of this. Nice video!
you did a real good job with this. I'm definitely doing this with my mask and mesh mask. Thanks!
ESS goggles work really well with glasses. They make them with that idea in mind and are also ballistic rated to something where it can stop buckshot from point blank.
mesh mask :good
mesh goggles:bad
Thanks for the video bud, I have a helmet the goggles and the mask straps it's an absolute nightmare! I'm going give this a go!!
Never thought of this. You sir are a legend!!!!!!
Looked really cool on him
Awesome video, this was really helpful!
i did a similar mod to my Mesh mask if you are having trouble getting the stretchy edge part off i used a Hair dryer to melt the hot glue
Seems like a good dad. Wants to protect his kiddo. I can respect that :)
Revision sells prescription inserts that fit into the notches on the inside of the Desert Locust. You can take those to any optometrist and they can make a pair of lenses to his prescription.
I tried and tried to get my goggles and mask comfortable on my face. My mesh was always too low or my goggles rode up and both were uncomfortable. I fitted the mesh and goggles together and found that the two attached together fit perfectly and more importantly comfortably. No cutting into or crushing the nose and the goggles weren't pushed up with the mesh strap squeezing the face. I didn't even have to cut the mesh. A perfect fit.
Awesome video. I'm definitely going to try this.
I have the inserts, then instead of getting glass lenses fitted to the removable plastic frames, I just took the arms of an old pair and put them in instead, little dab of hot glue and all done. The mesh mask looks great, well done.
Looks Awesome! Great thinking! I am def going to do this.
Thanks, It took a lot longer than I expected.
Looks good, I was having problems with my goggles messing with the lowers, going to have to give this a try. I was having to over lap the goggles over the lower, and that caused them to fit weird and akward.
This video is very helpful cause I’m a girl and I do Airsoft *which means I have a small face compared to the mask* and I’ve been looking for a way to cut my mask and not ruin it and your methods worked perfectly keep up the good work!
Revision also sells the Rx mounts and im sure there's a way to fit them in there, even if they aren't for the same model. Im switching to contacts just so I have my full fov in view, but they would probably work well for those goggles. They only recommend you take them to a glasses shop to get the glass fitted in
Dude, I love it! I'm getting one of those mesh masks soon enough and I look about your sons age. I will definitly be using this method!
Great idea, I'm gonna share this on this side of the ocean, so many young guys will benefit from this, think ill do me own mask as well. Thanks.
I don't think they should be ashamed to say "best dad ever". They are not being unappreciative of their parents hard work. I think they just recognize and appreciate a father that spends time with his child.
You don't need fancy equipment to be a good team. You need three things, Movement, Communication, and Team Work. I am working on a video series on How to Play Airsoft. I played a game of 1v7 the large team have full auto guns and I had a training knife, a spring pistol and two mags. I had to play very smartly. I didn't expect to win but I never gave up. I was the last man standing and still had a mag left when it was all over.
Good job and well thought out. BTW, Revision does have an RX system that will allow prescription lenses to be mounted inside their goggles. Contact lenses may be a better answer. Good job! I have 2 sets of revisions and they work well, but the face pro mesh mask straps are a pain in the butt.
Nice tutorial matey. I shall indeed be doing this myself
very nice, good work. I love seeing custom builds like this. I would recommend using contacts if he is ok with them or just getting wire frame glasses as that's what i use and they fit in goggles a lot better. very nice work tho.
Thank you! For providing the right video title!!
10/10 dad
Airsoft dads everywhere should look up to you.
thanks for the video. I was wondering about this exact same set up.
Great, just did it myself! Fit's like a glove!!
i had the exact same problem. awesome video thanks!
Such a good video. Your an awesome father as well. Such a good role model
Nice stuff, Dad/Geek! I have the same issues on a bigger face, and 2 of my 3 boys are also sporting glasses....so its off to the shop this rainy Sunday with Mom's hot-glue gun for some mods to our ESS TurboFan goggles!
Glad to see you plugged Dr. Airsoft, too...Mark's doing great work to keep everyones eyes--and teeth--safe!
Thank you very much! This really helped out and me and my father bonded!
great idea! compliments from Italy! :)
this is the exact vid i was looking for
Awesome. I just picked up a mesh half mask from Evike and it works great. I'm using some old JT paintball goggles and all in all it fits pretty well. Great video though, may end up using some of these ideas if I ever want to modify. Thanks!
The Dye 4 and JT proflex 8 are the only full face masks that I have used that work with glasses.
Great video man! Gonna try this later on the weekend...
I currently own the Raider.. it is a great gun for starters
It’s like a paintball mask with better comfort and breathability. Very awesome!
I only paintball, but from a paintball player to an airsoft player. That mask is dope.
waholy dad of the year right there! haha thanks for the video! i actually have the exact same problem!! like 100 percent, same mask, same goggles, 3 straps from my coms system! :) thanks!
My team does this but with the mesh goggles, it looks very sick.
Damn you Geek, I really want to do this now. lol
I approve this! Made mod like this on protective clases used for circular saw use and added cheap grid mask lower part on it. Works like dream, little foggy dream. Must make mod like that on some better classes and whit grid mask like that. It looks really good!
Nice work. You can get a revision RX holder with prescription lenses that snap into the goggles for around $70 at opticsplanet.
That's a great setup! I actually run something remarkably similar, the only difference being that I used epoxy. I tried hot glue but it wasn't as durable as I would've hoped for.
Nice job, will tackle my own soon now
Thanks for the idea. Just played my first game today and getting the goggles to fit comfortably with the bottom face mask was near impossible. I'll most likely end up doing this
That is so cool of you. You are a great father I can tell!
Dad of the year award goes to this guy
Thanks man this really helped
I can't even tell you modded them. After hot glueing the material back on, it looks just as clean on the video as the original did. I might have to try that for mine.
to tell you the truth its some really good work
revision actually makes a lens insert for their desert locust goggles that mounts on the nose piece inside of the glasses. thats what i usually use when i play.
absolutly a great gun. The hop on the gun is fine, although I would agree with a new inner barrel.
wow, this is actually a great idea!
Good Job.. Great tutorial
beau travail, merci pour la demonstration
Hope your dad gets better! I am going to do this to mine. They were too big and it will help a lot.
nice job men i will try to do the same with my mesh, i had de same problem with the glases
Nice, I could never get it right. I would always mess up the cut. Keep up the good work!!!
BlackHawkAirsoft Whats up Ryan? Did not think id see you here lol.
