Flex 7 or V-Force Shield?

[afultz075]

I've been wanting a new mask for awhile and i'm at a standstill between these two. Anyone have experience with either?

I am a huge fan of the V Forces. Real cheap, good lenses, sick range of vision.

flex 7's look hot, and have good vision, but the lenses tend to break easily,

[afultz075]

By the way, the Sheilds are thermal, correct?

i broke one pair of spectra lenses ever and it took 235 pounds of force falling on them for them to break. they are very durable. the scratch a bit easier though.

go flex 7.

I can't suggest anything other than a Vforce. After changing/cleaning the lenses once they will be worth it. ;)

I think that all goggle systems now have a thermal lenes option. But the new Proto lens are single and thermal, because of a new film.

But as for the two that you want get a flex 7. there are so many different colors and fades to choose from you could be only player at your feild with that kind. Which is a deterant from thefts.

I have them both. I feel that that the flex 7 is more comfortable than the V-force. Lense removal hands down the V-force is easier to remove. Also with the flex 7 I like the rubber guard in the front which helps with paintball bounces. :)

im a VForce fan, i have the profiler. it's awesome. the flex's are good too, just too flexy for me i guess.

I've got the moss green Flex 7 IZE and couldn't be happier with it. Sure, the lens could be easier to change, but that's the price I'm willing to pay for a super comfortable mask. Even over my glasses!

[gc82000]

wait have you thought about the higher up goggles. The flex 10 and a profiler. They are more expensive from what you want but they really are worth the price. The flex 10 has 290* perhipheral vision while the Flex 7 only has 260*, and the lens can be be changed in under 2 minutes becuase of the locking system. As for the profiler, It is the most comfortable mask I have ever tried.

Flex 7 or ProFleX :D

[hobbesTZ]

I own a Vforce shield, and I don't much care for it. It's not very comfortable since it's only rubber around your eyes, and my lens has major fogging issues.

I've been using the Flex 7 for so long it feels odd to wear any other mask...

I do have a Dye Invision, but I don't find it comfortable for those reasons.

flex 7 or the proflex :bounce:

[68magOwner]

I *heart* my flex 7

[rkjunior303]

I've had my flex7 for YEARS and it hasn't let me down.

[XbeasleyX]

Pro-Flex :headbang: Also prevents the dreaded pirate look. :argh:

[paintgirl66]

seriosuly... shields are crap.. go with the flex or something better

[ezmonet]

I like the ability to be able to take my lens out and run it under water and not have to worry about screwing up my thermal lenses. At the end of the day I take my mask apart and run everything under my shower and it all gets squeeky clean and I never have to touch anything with a towel since I can just let it drip dry. I have never has my V-Force fog up on me either.

V-Force is what I suggest, but what it all really comes down to is your comfort. Try them on and see which feels better.

Just my 2 cents..

Flex 7. Looks better, built better (IMO), and more tournament friendly (bounces).

[ghideon]

I say Shield. I have two (one's a backup/loaner). Easy to clean, easy to switch lenses, they never fog on me. I wear glasses underneath, and they're very comfy.

[Linkwarner]

I would go with the Flex 7, they just are more comfortable then the shield.

[BrockSampson]

Yup. I bought shields for my kids and they're no comparison to my flex. Of course you could also buy 2 or 3 for the price of 1 flex also...

[guysdaman]

Gonna have to go with Vforce...I've used a Morph for 2 years now and wouldn't trade it for anything! Never fogged on me, very comfy, and cleaning is uber simple!

Go Vforce! :headbang:

[Halliday]

VForce all the way.
