I own two of these. The mesh ear holes are perfect for hearing approaching ducks, or gobbling turkeys. As well as other big game walking. Perfect concealment, quality hat and good price. I duck hunt mostly with mine and my only suggestion would be for some sort of open mouth to make calling easier (possible) I’ve modified mine and removed the mesh mouth cover. Another ingenious solution is the slits for glasses, as someone who uses sunglasses (my dad wears glasses and has one also) I never fog up my lenses like I have with other masks. I highly recommend this product. But would love a model available without the mouth covered for turkey hunting or duck hunting so that I can call.
