Forge's name is printed across the front in large white Inkling letters. The interior of the mask is dark gray and there is a series of small holes over the wearer's nose and mouth.

When displayed in a Locker in Splatoon 3, this gear is placed on a black mannequin head.

Abilities

The Forge Mask comes with Main Power Up as the primary ability when purchased from a shop or ordered from Murch. When purchased from SplatNet 2, it comes with any other primary ability normally available to Headgear. As a 1-star item, the Forge Mask comes with one additional slot for secondary abilities, which may be increased to a maximum of three slots with a Super Sea Snail for each slot. Since it is made by the Forge gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Special Power Up and a lower chance of rolling Ink Saver (Sub) to fill its secondary ability slot.
