What makes the CMD different is its focus
on improving the wearer’s ability to keep
dry air flowing through the goggle to
ensure resistance to fogging while enabling
better breathing, and improving the
wearer’s ability to both speak to and hear
other players while wearing the mask. The
soft, flexible facemask that, while it looks
a bit busy with its multi-directional lines
and cuts, has been designed to allow air
to flow through while reducing echo while
shouting and distortion while listening. The
goggle also offers a small “Microvisor” that
helps reduce glare and even helps protect
the lens from scratches when a player
lays it down on a table in a tournament
pit. Finally, the goggle strap has been
enlarged to ensure comfort and safety,
and the face foam is soft, comfortable and
interchangeable. While it all looks good
on paper, all that truly matters is how it
performs.

Once out of the box, the Bunkerkings
Command goggle impresses. Its facemask
is soft and malleable, able to encourage
a bounce here and there, and while the
goggle offers a tight profile, the mask is
large enough that a bigger or stocky player
can still wear it and enjoy cheek and jawline
protection. The mask’s face foam is plush
and comfortable, great for long days at the
field grinding through point after point, or
for serious scenario players who may very
well have the mask on for hours at a time.
The enlarged goggle strap will certainly be
a help here as well. During testing, the CMD
mask did not fog at any time even when
worn for extended periods of time in warm,
humid air. While no mask can guarantee
that it will never fog, players can confidently
expect their CMD goggle to hold up well
to the elements from hot humid weather to
chilly days at the field, while the Micro visor
will certainly help keep a few raindrops out
of the mask and off the lens.
