I think this would make you look silly. Use a banclava or shemagh. They make you look pretty BA too.

I use a paintball mask and put my sights on riser mounts.

I'm not convinced that this actually protects my teeth. In fact I'm pretty sure there was someone on this forum who got a tooth chipped while wearing a balaclava. And I'm trying to avoid riser mounts if possible because this is mostly for CQB. I might just have to deal with it though.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll keep them in mind.

I would be worried about getting shot at from behind or to the side. It looks like this has a similar form-factor to a "hockey mask". Its clear that goggles need to be worn external to the mask. This means that this set-up is not necessarily full-seal. Personally, it is much too chancy for me to risk my eyeballs on.

Why not just get a lower half mesh mask.

Anytime Psy!
I use Bolle X800's which are mildly low profile. I used to use Arena Flakjaks but ditched them for multiple reasons. My Girlfriend uses ESS goggles with her half mask as well and doesn't have issues either.
One good thing about the mesh masks is you can bend/fit them to your face which helps increase the aforementioned cheek weld
TLDR: The goggle profile worked very well with: Bolle X800, Flakjaks and the ESS.
I'll see if I can get some photos for you blargh so you can see fitment.

Just get a lower mesh face mask and call it a day. Works with most full seal googles. I use a TMC version 2 face mask with Arena Flackjacks and an IBH helmet.
