And now for that dust!

I used my Willy Wonka spiral-eye goggles from Hot Topic last year. Drew lots of positive commentary but the foam in them was...errrrr, lacking. They were made to look cool on fankids and hipsters and weren't much use otherwise. I'll bring 'em again this year but for the serious stuff, I have a pair of ski goggles with glare protection.

As for the mask...I have this neat Egyptian cotton scarf that wraps around pretty much anything I want. It's extremely soft, very comfortable, and doesn't come off. When I don't want to deal with nine by one yards of fluffy softness, I just use a sarong.
Note on Egyptian cotton: it's <i>very</i> warm, so it's good for deep night/deep playa excursions if you wear several layers of it. I wore it during my Temple Guardian shift a few years ago when I took the midnight-to-three slot and temps on the open playa were down to freezing. Teeth clenched but never chattered.

Disclaimers: I don't have any allergies, and I'm not too proud to dive for cover when dust conditions approach critical. I also hydrate and Vaseline my nostrils as part of my morning routine [/oversharing].

GREEN. Very green.

Well, I have seen sunglasses with green lenses. (I think it would bug me until I got used to it. YMVM.)
