Why?

It has the same issues all these futuristic full helmets and masks have: it gets really hot with you breathing and sweating in it and it greatly reduces your peripheral vision and thus your overall situational awareness.

There's a reason no one really uses full helmet designs despite them being in virtually every piece of futuristic scifi military media.

I think the US does now issue a bolt on mask for just your lower face but everyone immediately discards it

A rifle round will sail right through that. Even if it didn't, it would feel like getting smacked in the face with a sledgehammer.

Hot, miserable to wear for more than a few minutes at a time, heavier than nothing, not exactly useful unless you're actively taking fire, reduced field of vision, and reduced ability to communicate. Aside from that there's no reason to not have them standard issue to all infantry

Regarding China, it may be necessary to be wary of facial recognition technology, which is proving effective in domestic security activities.

Couldn't cloth masks do the same thing as they wear in Ukraine/ICE wears in the US?

>Are they based or cringe?

im pretty sure ive seen more than one report from ukrainan front line soldiers that some kind of full-face protection is absolutely necessary and vital piece of kit now, and its one of the main "take-aways" as far as infantry/frontline kit goes. i wish i knew where I saw it, but it was something to the effect that full face/head protection is something people think is for-real actually needed
