Lens removal? mask options.

Ouch... you'll get no argument from me. :) I'm glad it worked out for you.

Yah. When I looked at where you are from I laughed.

...the lens seams to not give any more field of vision than the spectra I have now...

The design of the grill mask gives it quite a bit more field of view than a goggle type which the spectra is. The I4 is actually very similar in field of view to the grill, so you should be quite happy with your purchase.

Well the wife liked the grill also. So there is a chance I end up with both in the long run. But the I4 I have actually wore. And I liked the fit and feel. And loved how easy the lens removes. Since I swear every time I get shot. If its not while running. Is in my fingers/gun. Or face. Last time I played I took 3 mask hits. And 3 or 4 hand hits. Only one game did I get out by a body hit. And that was forcing advancement with a last ditch effort.

We will see. But it for sure has more visibility than what I'm used too.

I'd rate the Grill slightly higher than the i4 in ease of lens replacement, probably because I've used them more, but both are really easy. I've had three sets of Grills and recently got some i4s as well. They're close in terms of comfort - the i4 feels slightly lighter on your face, although with less coverage and no visor/peak (booo!). Only note of caution with the Grill is that the stock lens can fog (the single-pane lens on the earlier Grills was great, but quality control went downhill), so I'd recommend buying a dual pane lens as well.

I hope you get the lens you want in the i4s, but be prepared for a possible disappointment - black i4s used to come stock with the HD lens, but lately have been shipping with clear, but lots of dealers are still using the original photos.

Gadget. That is a wonderfully detailed review. Thank you. Makes me want to buy the grill also. One of the shops selling on eBay is selling new grills with dual pane thermal lenses for 80 shipped. Almost bought them.

The I4 better come with the HD since we discussed it and I paid the 10 dollars extra they asked for for the HD instead of the clear.

Mask came in today. Altered exactly as requested. Best eBay communication ever. I am one happy customer.
