I like the TM Pro Goggles method of fastening. The elastic strap has a plastic clip fastener so the mask can be very easily removed.
Apparently - I haven't tried this yet - the goggles can be detached from teh mask section to act as a pair of stand-alone goggles. Handy if it works.
Sorry about the poor quality of this pic, but it was scanned from a 6x4" print, which is all I have.
This mask was slightly cracked in the firing, and so I was able to keep it! I was pleased, because at the time I couldn't afford the luxury of not selling anything I made.
So I hung it outside the front door on the wall, were it lasted about a week before it vanished about noon one day!
I reported it to the police to get a crime number, and the next day I received a most interesting missive. The police only have a few fields in their lost and stolen property database: vehicles, valuables, money, animals, and other.
The letter commiserated on the theft of my 'other', and assured me that should my 'other' turn up, they would let me know!
It never did!
The wind mask is/was made of stoneware clay, coloured with iron oxide and fired to 1280C, in an electric kiln. It measured about 14" across.
