Nevermind - probably wouldn't be able to convince them to wear it anyway - bad enough wearing a cycle helmet!!!

Although there are definitely similarities with paintball masks, the SUV is designed specifically for marine use and has several major advantages. 
Paintball masks are way more ventilated than the SUV and they don't keep water and cold wind off your face. Great when you are running around overheating and gasping for breath, but not much help on a RIB.
The vents also mean that you will get water inside the goggle area. The SUV goggle area is vented from inside the mask which means the water stays out.
Paintball masks tend to use open cell foam around the goggles, which gets wet and soggy. The SUV uses soft closed cell foam which is comfortable and doesn't get waterlogged.

How easy would it be to get hold of one to present to the bosses here at Ribeye, in having these as branded up head gear for cruising.
If I were to get a friend of mine to airbrush them, do they flex or are they quite rigid, just fear them being flexed while not used somehow and the paint chipping after alot of use. If that makes any sense.
Regards
Tom

No problem. You can paint them or I can supply them factory painted to order. You can see an example of one of the "Legend Boats" masks below.
I sent reseller details to you at your old Ceasar Marine address, and at your Hot Fudge address. Did you get either of them?

Yes.
I currently have Hannibals in stock (and a couple of Infernoes too). The other designs are available to order.
How many would you like?
John

What are the carbon fibre ones called? And are they actually carbon fibre?

Those are the Hannibal design. They're not carbon fibre, but they do look good!

It's not really fresh & different though is it?
It's a helmet. Hardly revolutionary -- not radically different in concept to a Gecko, and doesn't cover the face anything like as well as a SUM does

Another happy customer!
Bought 4 x Face masks from John @ Rib.Net and have been very pleased with them. Very compact to store on the boat. I have one in each jockey pod for a rainey day. A Gecko helmet simply would'nt fit in my jockey seats. A big thank you to John for his discovery! Here is My pals wife Morag modeling it for you's! (she's gona kill me)

Pity I had not the mask on Cape Horn  I had to use snowboard helmet (light and warm and comfortable) with binoculars for quad-bikes (covering almost whole face) or only binoculars with the head cover of Musto Dry-Suit HPX...
But any of that solutions didn't stop all the water going through...

At the moment I have clear, dark smoked, and yellow as well as the standard light smoked in stock. They're 15 quid each.

Bugger wish I'd known when I ordered. Maybe an idea to have them advertised in the shop section mate. Will order the lenses after I see what the clear ones are like for glare.

I only got round to adding the masks to the shop a few weeks ago, and I didn't think about the extra/replacement lenses. I'll put them up there shortly.
