Facemask - what do you use?

I am a firm believer in that the human face and human voice are two of the things that scare wild game the most, except for being shot at. I like a 3/4 mesh facemask because it lets air through and I can pull it down around my neck when not in use. I just can't find a 3/4 in Natural Gear which is the camo I use. What are your favorite facemasks and why?
 
I use a Nat. gear bandanna most of the time. Just cut a hole in it for my mouth an stitched aroun the hole to keep it from fraying. I also have a Nat. gear leafy face mask that velcro's in the back. Mask covers from your nose down and has holes for your mouth and nose. Picked them both up at Wal-Mart
 
I'm with you on this. I use a 3/4 that just has the elastic around the upper opening. I can wear it around my neck until needed, then just pull it up and over my nose. I don't like the ones that wrap around your eyes or have metal inserts to form to your face. The one I use is short (6")in the back, neck area and long in the front (15"). So when I'm callin, my hands and the calls around my neck are under the face mask. This hides my hand movement and any call switching.
 
Hi, I wear a camo baseball cap with net attatched with eye cut out. I also cut another hole for blowing hand calls.
 
Nat. Gear full head "gaiter"(nylon) pulled above the nose. I stretch it out a bit on the bottom so you can get calls to my mouth w/o fumbling around. I wear a cammo ball cap low as I can on top of that.
 
I like the kind that goes over your head like the bank robbers use, in camo. Its warm and has the eyes, nose and mouth holes. They never have ear holes so I cut ear holes cause I like to hear stuff even tho my hearing is not that good anymore. I have a white camo and regular camo one.

The other thing is your whole head area is round so when you turn your head ever so slowly I don't think critters can pick up on that as quick as when you wear a cap with some type of bill sticking out to the side cause that is seen more easy because of the profile of the bill. Just my thought.
 
I just use a ski mask with one hole in it, it stretches enough to use a mouth call. I have a brown one with dark spots for fall, & a white one with spots for winter. and when I walk out I flip it over to reveal the orange side so I don't get shot at.
 
Hey guys I got an epiphany the other day.
Used a little ointment and it went away...
No really, I am constantly plagued by fogged up glasses and masks when the other day I forgot the one I normally wear and was forced to resort to a backup that I had never worn. Anybody ever hear of Spandoflage? It's like a super thick stocking that when worn spreads out so much that when worn you can breath through it without fogging up. It comes with no eye or mouthholes and you cut as you see fit. Ad mittedly it's not as pretty as other masks, but the No fogging part was alright by me. Anyway I was impressed.

Yup, that spandoflage works for me...just be VERY conservative with the hole-cutting. Start out small and expand the hole if needed. Conservatively.
