So after what had seemed like an eternity away from this hobby I'm mostly just about ready to return. I've got my Warrior quad release system being delivered tomorrow, got my side arm and rifle. Got a helmet, face protection and eye protection (more on that later).

I've sweet talked the wife into getting a holo sight and magnifier for Xmas so I've got an optic for the weapon. However now the issues. First off the face protection, I've got an NB tactical ghost mesh mask and neck gaiter, however I've a rather big bushy beard and it doesn't sit well under the gaiter without looking odd. So a solution is needed there.

Next up is my eyepro, I've got some Bolle X1000 goggles but having issues mounting them to the helmet, so need a solution there. Failing that I'll get some Bolle raiders. Finally, any decent social groups near Bristol that won't judge a fat man going airsofting (airsofting is part of me getting more active).
