Mask by TIGER TAILOR

A tactical balaclava must be breathable, elastic, and comfortable to allow for freedom of movement and to be worn well under a helmet. A good fit with clearly defined openings for the eyes and mouth is crucial. Additionally, breathing and the field of vision must not be impaired, especially not when wearing safety glasses. The use of materials such as moisture-wicking synthetic fibers or flame-resistant yarns is ideal. With the Maski, TIGER TAILOR from France has launched a tactical face covering that allows for quick concealment. 

The lightweight 13-gram mask made from stretch fabric is available in a universal size and in the colors Black and Sea Turtle Green. At first glance, it resembles a classic neck gaiter.

According to TIGER TAILOR, the fabric is thick enough to prevent facial recognition, especially considering the later use of identification software. Therefore, TIGER TAILOR uses textiles that are particularly thick for this purpose. The mask is NIR coated, which also helps it blend well under night vision devices.

The front of the Maski is extended downward, allowing it to be stowed behind the plate carrier or under the outer clothing.

The loops on both sides of the head are designed to secure the mask to the ears. This way, the face covering cannot unexpectedly slip down and compromise OPSEC.

Furthermore, the use of hearing protection is not compromised, meaning that earmuffs or headphones can still be used without any problems.

We appreciate the fact that glasses can be worn comfortably without slipping.

Whether wearing a tactical helmet, baseball cap, or beret – the Maski by TIGER TAILOR wears excellently under any headgear without causing pressure points or slipping.

Whether under closed motorcycle helmets or under modern protective helmets used in police service or under very old helmets from a galaxy far, far away, the Maski is very comfortable to wear thanks to the ear loops.

CONCLUSION

The Maski from TIGER TAILOR is designed for quickly concealing the face. It is suitable for arrest and containment operations in urban areas as well as for direct actions in various environments. It can be worn as a neck protector and quickly used as a face protector in operational situations. There have always been issues with balaclavas causing heat buildup, slipping, or pressure points under helmets and headgear, leading to discomfort.

The Maski from TIGER TAILOR is available in Black and Sea Turtle Green for 19 EUR directly from the manufacturer or from retailers that carry TIGER TAILOR.
