dang that is a hard choice....

invision and profiler, like the best masks out there.....

i'd say either try each or whatver you like better, thats all i can say.

only real advantage i can see between the two is that the profiler has the easiest lense changing. also the bubble lense seems to have some sort of vision advantage(i forgot wut its called, but its hard to explain, no its not periphial)

I still rock my JT Pro-Flex. Best goggles out there if you ask me. And they really aren't as hard to replace lenses as everyone makes them. Not to mention their color combos outnumber any other mask out there. Plus they are lighter and you don't have to keep your strap cranked down to keep the goggles in place. A couple of my teammates even went back to their Pro-Flexes after using Invisions and Profilers.
Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts?

I picked other and the reason why is that looking fer a mask is really based on yer preference on what you should really want and all you really need is 4 things in looking for a mask.....comfortability, field of vision, thermal lens and price.

Myself I got the JT Spectra Elite, its comfortable, field of vision is excellent, the lens is thermal and never fogged up on me and the price is really cheap....under $50.

Do not steal....the government hates competition!

I've got the invision goggles, comfortable, no fog, and look cool. The downside is there isn't much neck protection, and the lenses are hard to remove.

I'll go where I no one do know,

i have a $20 brass eagle mask and it has thermal lenses. it never fogs, and i have glasses and they fit perfectly.  I dont know what the big deal on masks are.but mine also has a little longer piece in the front for a little more neck protection.  Get one like mine, and get an upgrade with the money

im going to guess this was your first mask? Once you try a quality mask there is no going back, its all about comfort. If you dont have a good mask then you wont do as well. My first goggles were a 14.99 pair i got on clearence because nobody wanted them. They never fogged and worked wonderfully before i dropped them and they broke after about 5 times playing with them. Now i own a dye invision and i love it to peices.

Only way to tell what will be the best maskfor you is to go to a big shop and start tring on masks. Keep in mind what you need out of the mask. Do you play mostly Woodsball or speedball. Do you want a  lot of coverage(chin and forhead). Does it need to be green or camo? Do you wear glasses ect..... The last mask I bought was a Proto because I play both speed and woods. I like my forhead and chin covered. It has great vision and no fogging. I didn't like some of the other top of the line masks because of coverage or pinching or too much pressure on my ears or nose. Shop around and buy the best mask you can afford.

i have been having TERRIBLE fogging with the scott goggles with the rigid mask that came with my 98 custom...i really need a new pair and as long as its under about 70 i dont care, i want the best fog resistance for my money. i just hate having to hide behind something fully and stick my finger in my goggles like its a windshield whiper.  I was thinking about the proto switch...any suggestions?

I like the V-Force Shield.....gives you excellent protection and a thermal lens that is simple to remove and clean. Its great for woods ball, but maybe too big for speedball.

same here. but i removed the visor and the flap on top cause they were paint magnets

*e: i voted for the profiler cause its light, good peripheral, and its soft so theres a good chance of ball bounce. and the invision gives no neck protection what so ever, especially if you've got a double chin.
