Orange Hunter-Safe Face Mask (Still Open-Ear)
Fluorescent orange Ogie meets the hunter-orange visibility requirement for firearm season, while the open-ear design keeps your hearing sharp for shot direction, group calls and safety.
Firearms-season hunter-orange requirements exist for one reason: to make you visible to other hunters. A camo face mask fights that goal. An orange face mask that also covers your face and blocks wind — while keeping your ears open for shot direction and group calls — is the ideal firearms-season combination.
Does the orange mask satisfy hunter-orange requirements?
It's designed to visibly contribute to your hunter-orange coverage. Always check your state or provincial regulations for the specific required orange area (usually % of upper body) u2014 most jurisdictions require the orange on your torso and hat, not specifically on your face.
When would I wear orange over camo?
Firearm deer season, driven hunts, youth hunts, and any public-land day where visibility to other hunters is a priority. In late-season cold, the mask is also a warmth layer.
Does the orange scare game?
Deer and most game species see poorly in the orange/red wavelength u2014 that's the science behind hunter-orange as a legal requirement. You're invisible to the deer and visible to other hunters.
Can I hear shot direction with the mask on?
Yes u2014 that's the whole point of open-ear. Traditional balaclavas muffle shot direction, which is a real safety concern on driven hunts. Ogie leaves your ears fully clear.
Which weight for firearms deer season?
Mediumweight or Heavyweight depending on your climate. Late-November through December in most whitetail states = Heavyweight. Early-season October in the south = Mediumweight.
