because...its a really thin sheet of plastic thats made to be spattered with mud...imagine what a paintball would do to a stack of thode..it would deform the entire stack,making them useless.and wiping the outside of a lens wont hurt it...

It had nothing to do with the ASTM, they were unpopular and banned from tournament usage as well as many fields as it gave players the opportunity to "wipe" shots from their lenses before a ref saw them. They didn't even need to be put through ASTM testing as they were used as an overlay over the ASTM tested lenses on the masks. You can still find them, but they really aren't worth it. I only used them when playing woods ball in places with a lot of brush, and thus, a lot of spray. They tended to fall off easily, and also cut down the ammount of light that entered the lens, which was detrimental in deep woods play.

Motocross and dirt track racers use those for their helmets. Its just like a post it only sticky on the sides. Plus when you are hit in the mask it ussually goes all over your mask not just the lens. Good Idea.
