    Posted: 02 October 2006 at 3:44am
my idea is to take something like saran-wrap and cut it out in the shape
of the lens on the mask, but have small tabs sticking out so that if you
get hit in the mask or get sprayed you  can  just peel it  off.

tell me what you think

or if you have somthing you  could add to my idea  please post
^^correct me if im wrong^^

that is true some people might try to cheat, but usualy when i play its 2 shots and your out.

and this would be mostley for spray, so that you wouldnt have to wipe

i hate wipers

also i think they have these for motercycle racers for when their goggles get muddy      i think

i think it would be pretty neat. hopefully it wouldnt tear though when you get shot and tear the ones behind it.

Those actually used to be sold somewhere... it was a few years ago, but they did exist.

It is a good idea, but I like getting my mask all clean so cleaning the lens is no biggy. I would also hate to waste a peel just for some spray. Usually spray on my lens never bothers me, I just look passed it and then clean it once I get off the field with some water.

They are called tear off's. They used to be made, but they are relatively weak. They failed ASTM testing and were halted in manufacturing.

yeah, you'd be better off buying spray for 7.49, because you'll be able to clean your mask WAY more than 10 times...

because wiping scratches your lens Really bad,

and it would still have that thin layer of paint.

I have been trying other things like clear plastic bags, i tried taping them to the mask, it didnt work that good.

whiping doesn't scratch your lense...  it only scratches on the inside of thermals if you don't know what you're doing...  just use microfiber cloth to clean inside.

these things are made to stop a 200mph projectile, i'm pretty sure they can hold up to cloth.

NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.
