Integral side walls join the brow bar, nose guard and bottom bar together in spaced relation so as define an eye opening and a mouth opening. A strengthening element extends around the eye opening and a further strengthening element extends around the mouth opening. The strengthening elements form a rearwardly facing channel in a region of the nose guard between the opening and mouth openings. The nose guard also includes a reinforcement element extending thereacross and projecting from the nose guard rearwardly into the channel such that the nose guard has an E-shaped cross section. Straps are affixed to the face mask for securing the mask to the head of a wearer.
