    SG Removable 3 Weapon Mask

    Has anyone bought a SG Removable 3 Weapon mask before? How is it? I'm hoping to get a new mask with removable padding because cleaning one without padding is a pain ^^' But also I'm quite broke so... yup.

    It is basically their Olympic model with a velcro tabbed lining. They are decent, have a good bib and are well padded on the inside. They also dry pretty quick. The downside is that the rivets will rust up on you and leave stains on the bib, and that the quality control is a bit shoddy. I have seen some bad weaves on this type of mask before. When it breaks, it will break at the tongue, usually in about 6 months to a year from my experiance. I would just save up and buy a decent mask if I were you. You can get a non-FIE LP with stainless steel mesh and top notch quality for about a hundred bucks. Buying cheap gear is usually a false economy. You save a bit in the initial purchase, but you will be replacing it a lot longer thant you would with good kit and you will probably have paid more in the longrun doing that that if you had just gotten good kit to begin with.
