JT Products Flex 8. Price: Priced at $60 they are more affordable than other high end systems. The one I have pictured (mine) would cost you about $75-$80. |

Say you have thermal lens and the outer lens developes a crack near the edge and your not awear of it. You take a shot to the lens and they break. Does the inner lens offer the same protection as the outer ones? |

You ar supposed to change the lense very time you take a direct hit even know most people don't... But if it has cracked it's get a new one, now. |

No, you need to get a new lense in it immediately. Any visible signs of wear(ie, spiderwebs, cracks, dents, etc.) on your lense are a sign that you need new ones.
Wrong. If this were so, professional players would go through lenses like underwear. Masks are tested at up to 450 fps, and can easily withstand direct hits. |

Not wrong. Most manufacturers recommend that you change the lens after a direct hit. Even though most people dont this is no reason for you to get up on your high horse and talk a load of pish.

DIRECTLY from Vforce's Ownership and Care Manual for all of it's masks and lenses. "WARNING! Check the lens before and after each use. Replace the lens after one year of use, even if it seems to be intact. Replace the lens immediately if it shows cracks or if it has received repeated direct impacts from a ball shot from a distance of less than 10 feet (3 m)." JT does not mention it AT ALL. So, I think there is a difference between, A) Getting shot in the lens, and B) Getting bunkered repeatedly in the lens. |

My personal favorite
The Raven NVX This is a mask that can be found relatively cheaply. I bought two pair on sale for less than $20 a piece, Gunmetal Gray and Emerald Green, but they tend to run about double that. I tried this mask out for the first time when Raven was still its own company, but they have been bought out and replacements can be tricky to find. Pros: Very comfortable Excellent field of view Photochromatic lens (tints in sunlight) Soft material and thick padding Very breathable and easy to hear/speak through Excellent anti-fog Cons: Padding can sometimes come loose from sweat Breathability can lead to some nasty tasting paint in the mouth (though the paintball itself is still stopped and I have felt no impact on my face at any time) Replacement lenses can be difficult to find Edited by reifidom - 08 March 2007 at 9:27am |

Anti-fog is also very handy to have if you wear glasses. It does no good to have a fog proof mask if your glasses fog up. On the subject of glasses, another reason to have the foam fit tightly around your face is related to them. Loose fitting foam allows sweat to get by and drip down on glasses, which can be really annoying. (It's not as bad as fog, but it still interferes with vision.) |

I said MOST. And I've heard a lot of complaints from people with dual pane lenses and glasses which is why I added it.
You'll say that until you've spent a day with a higher end mask. I thought the mask that came with my 98 custom was fine. I moved on to a Proto Switch and swore never to buy a mask with crappy foam again.
They're noisy, but you can't hear much from over 20 feet away. I don't have any experience with them, but a lot of people seem to like turning them on only when they need it. I really don't know how effective they are. |

I've had the best luck with the V Force Morph and Profiler. Each has a slight advantage and disadvantage IMHO. They both however utilize the same goggle shield which is nice because I have all the different colors and can interchange them as I need to between the 2. The Morph is a great mask, has a soft lower mouthguard, great when you have a stock on your gun and your mask rubs up against it, a hard plastic mouthguard thats really wide can be very annoying, I can't get anywhere near a proper cheekweld like on a real rifle, I wish I could but I get enough of a chinweld that its close enough. The Profiler has a very slim tapered mouthguard, its a lil easier to get my face as close as I can and its not too bad banging against the stock. I like my Morph frame better. The problem with these 2.... the lenses themselves are supposedly thermo treated for anti fogging etc... but these masks dont have the best ventilation and can fog if you breathe heavily, sadly the way its designed theres lil vent holes at the bottom of the lense that allows for this.... :( the mask fits me perfectly though and its the most comfortable, and I tried em all so I make do with it, some electrical tape and viola, but... now your eyeballs get warm and that causes sweating because theres even less ventilation and bam, fog again so... good idea that wasn't so good, we try and avoid playing on muggy days if at all possible
