RangerClay Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi Guys, This may seem like an odd request but I really like these things and they don't make them anymore. My favorite face mask has just about had it. I am looking a 3/4 Quaker Boy cold weather face mask. They are just like the mesh 3/4 masks that you buy today but these were made out of heavy cotton material and had a realtree pattern. I hoping someone may have one sitting on shelf that they don't use anymore. If the mask is in good shape I will pay cash money for it. Thank you for your time Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] We have an old one with like the original realtree on it I think. Its at least 10 years old, it goes on over your head and just has a cutout for eyes and mouth. Is this the kind your refering to, cause it is made out of cotton I know. If you want it you can have it, send me a pm if your interested. [/ QUOTE ] Nope, I don't think so. These do not have a cut out for the mouth. Thank you for responding! Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierbuck Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: Face mask wanted I've got some of the solid fabric ones. they are not Quaker boy, they are a "house brand" and I really can't wear them since they make my glasses fog. How many you want, where to and what'll ya gimme for them? HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: Face mask wanted I think I know what Ranger is talking about and why he wants only the Quaker Boy brand. I only use the Quaker Boy 3/4 Bandito mask, mesh not solid like he's looking for. The Bandito masks are simply the best masks out there, IMO. What makes them different is the way they stay on your head. I've yet to find another mask like them. They have a metal wire completely around your eyes, so you can form it over the bridge of your nose. Then there is an elastic band from one side of the frame to the other that is sewn into the mask material. The benefits of this design are amazing. First, there is no complete cover going over your head to get in the way of a hat (I hate that feeling). Secondly, since the elastic is integrated into the fabric, it is fast to put on and take off (great if you can't stand to wear a mask 100% of the time). Masks with separate elastic require fumbling around to get it positioned right. Finally, with the wire frame, it holds its form so you can get it up into position and not mess with it. 3/4 masks w/o the frame tend to roll up the bridge of your nose. I'm with you Ranger. Quaker Boy and only Quaker Boy on this one. If I were you I'd get a mesh mask and look at replacing the mesh with a solid material in your own camo choice, assuming you have someone that can sew. I've thought about doing this myself since I'm a huge fan of Natural Gear. That or contact Quaker Boy and see if they can't make you a solid one.

[/ QUOTE ] NO YOU ARE NOT DEREK!!!! That is exactly what I am looking for. I have spoke with customer service person there at Quaker Boy last year and he is very supportive. He would like to see them come back too. Pleeeeeese take a moment to contact them. A phone call or e-mail and tell them about how much you enjoy them. If enough people contact them maybe they will change their mind. http://www.quakerboygamecalls.com/index....1&Itemid=53 Thanks for the reply Derek and shoot straight Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Re: Face mask wanted That's what I'm talking about. These are hands down the best designed face masks out there. I've tried many others and keep going back to the two Quaker Boy Banditos that I have. I'll email them. I'd like to see some different camo options and a solid material as well.

Master_Chief Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: Face mask wanted Do a google search. There are some on E-bay. Are you talking about this type http://www.cabelas.com/products/Cpod0019146.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: Face mask wanted Chief, These similar. The masks they are selling at Cabelas are a mesh for summer turkey hunting. If you look closely at the cabelas picture you can actually see the guys facial features through the mask. The one I want was called the cold weather mask and was made from cotton flannel. It was discontinued years ago. I was hoping someone may have an old one laying around. I have been told by Derek to contact Quaker Boy because they have something new that is similar but I have not done it yet. Thanks for looking for me Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
