.HOODS of rubber/latex (also see Masks OR Gasmasks)

If you are within reach of London then Fettered Pleasures run a very good quality made to measure hood service, especially in the more bondage end of the market. They are pretty much the only people I've encountered who get the nose measurements & construciton right in heavier rubber (a notoriously difficult bit to get right)

Thanks! I took your suggestion and just ordered it... Unfortunately, I'm in the US so I've got to wait on the mail. Regardless, thanks everyone.

Hi all

I am seaching for a latex hood where it is possible to see all outside, but my eyes should not be visible. I asked for such a hood at zoom bizzare. I asked if they would offer hoods with mirrored lenses, what would be my favorite. They wrote back, that they could use flat mirrored lenses, but that there would exist the problem, that the eyelashes would have not enough space if you open and close the eyes. A solution would be curved lenses, but they have no address where to get this type of lenses. They offered to insert eye covering with a very dense stainless steel mesh, which can be made lightly curved.
Has any of you experience with mirrored lenses for latex hoods or masks? where can I get this style. If yes, does your hood have flat or curved lenses?
what do you think about this lenses. for me it completes the look of a black shiny full enclosure outfit, if the eyes are black and shiny too.

Hi

Along similiar lines, has anyone had experience with getting lenses attached to latex hoods at all?

I've used mirrored swim goggles^Froogle similar to ones pictured below. The rubber eye gasket is ideal for gluing to a hood. I think they give a more sinister look to a hood. The contour of the lens also seals against my eyes, which helps keep the lenses from steaming up.

Take a look at these. they give an air tight fit when added to your hood.

Demask used to offer hoods with mirrored lenses (flat ones).

We bought such a mask a few years ago, but later sent it back to
be replaced with tranparent plastic due to the fact that although
the mirrored lenses allowed vision it was reduced and I wanted my subbie
to be able to see properly (as long as she's not blindfolded )- she sometimes wear the mask when doing kinky clubbing.
A person having long eyelashes might find them brushing against the flat lenses (at least with Demask's design).
In hindsight it would have been best to have it with no lenses at all - due to
the well known problem of fogging when wearing the mask long enough, discolouration of the lenses after a few years, and the above mentioned eyelashes issue.
As willyjim2000 suggested a nice solution can be using swimming goggles (you can wear it under the hood, and so be able to change styles if you wish, or glue them on as suggested).

Hope this helps.

I understand very well, that you want that your sub can see clear what happens. I also often prefer to see the submissives eyes to recognise its reactions. I want such a hood when I am dominant. I think it inreases the effect on the sub if it cannot see the doms eyes, but is able to see what the dom does.
At the moment I think about getting such mirrored lenses in a curved form from a optician. Then it is just the question how to attache this glasses best to a latex hood.
A while ago I took glasses from broken glacier goggles as the glasses could be removed from the glasses frame. The glasses fitted perfectly over the glasses of a gas mask.

Hi Gloveheel,

You might like to consider an alternative - perforated latex. Any catsuit manufacturer can punch a series of small holes in a circle [or other shape] over the eyes. Even a small number of holes about 2mm in diameter give excellent vision out, but it is impossible for anyone to see anything inside. Try it out with a piece of black paper and you will get a good idea what would work for you.
Another advantage of the perforated eye covering is the lack of misting. I have both lens and perforations in different hoods, and generally I prefer the latter.
