Just wondering which you guys prefer. I've heard Profiler's are great but I also here they fog every now and then. I don't really trust those Thermo-Cured lenses... |

My Profiler has always worked great for me. I don't like Invisions or i3s; my head is too big. Events/Avatars are ass-ugly unless you get hella dark lenses. Older Flex's are good too. New ones, meh. |

I have the Proto Switch FS and there is nothing wrong with it. I havent tried anything else on that list, but you cant go wrong with the Proto. -------------

V-Force masks are the best in the industry and the their Profiler is top of the line. I will be trying out their Grill very soon though...I just love the replacable foam concept. I can't believe nobody thought of it sooner!

| The JT proflex. Slightly less protection, which you want even notice, then the vforce but so light and comfy you forget you have it on. Other benefits include it being cheaper and balls bounce off all the time. |

I once owned a v-force profiler... could't stand it ( uh-oh, I won't hear the end of this...  )Now I sweat alot, and that "thermo-cured lens" was no match for the almighty condensation that my face managed to produce. I couldnt even go for 20 mins without having to change masks. With my Proto's (If proto makes a Pro version of their AXIS, like Dye did with the i3 I WILL BUY THEM... maybe Twice) I reffed for 6 hours, with only a 30 min break. Not one speck of fog, Nothing. It was comfortable, easy to clean, and the lens change system is easy as (the i3's main downfall) Looks like I'm gonna be out-voted here though, profilers have such a following, and yah can't change their minds. ------------- People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things. |

I used Profilers for over 2 years, loved 'em. Tried eVents, which I
ended up selling to my little brother; nice, but I like a little more
jawline protection. I just picked up a JT sponsorship and I got a brand
new pair of Flex8's today, I'm really digging them. All are great
masks, you won't be disappointed with any -------------

I've owned all of them, so I thought maybe I could help you out. Dye's(Invisions I3's, etc.)- Probably my least favorite of any of athe "high-end" masks I've owned. Bulky, hot, and a pain in the butt to clean. Flexes(You left these out)- I wear mine when it's too hot for my e-vents. They are really cushy, and offer a nice range of vision, but the chin line leave something to be desired, and if you like a snug mask, they aren't for you. Flexes are also the easiest to modify, customize, "up," whatever. Profilers- They were the first "high-end" mask I owned, comfy, easier to clean than flexes, and I prefer looking through them as well. They fit pretty close to your face, though with the smaller gaps in the front, breathing is more restricted than others. I only wear mine for when I'm coaching now though. E-Ventz - W/o a doubt the (In my opinion) best pair of goggles out there. They fit snug to your face, almost like a second skin. Easier to clean, by far, than any other available mask. I've also gotten a good number of bounces off of mine, though I can't promise that's not because they were a special design for Infamous, as I DO have a prototype pair, so I'm not sure. The only drawback I find is that occasionally on extremely hot days(>98* or so) it fits a little too closely to the face, so I swap to my flexes for some extra breathing room. I hope this helps, feel free to pm/ask me any questions you have. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |
