More Information
This full-face mask has embossed eyebrows and eyelids. It is fitted with flanges running from the ears down each cheek to protect the helmet cord (yadome). The mask is pierced along its top edge to allow the attachment of a fabric hood, which, like the hoods of many full-face masks, is now lost.
