Back when I was into paintball, the JT Flex 7 IZE was all the rage. Nowadays though, I'm sure their are huge advancements in masks. So, can anyone give me the lowdown on the best paintball mask, the price, and its features?

VForce Profiler ... WAY easy to change lenses, great vision, light, comfortable and have yet to fog on me (even in the humid rain). Price last time I looked was around $80.

I agree but my Invisions are still nice and not out of style yet.

most everybody uses jt flex-7 non izes or profilers now. vforces are easier to change the lens and have better lenses in general, but most people think flex-7's look better.

The profiler is awesome, but they need to make a fan for it. V-force told me they were going to make one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and waiting. I don't want to have to buy the DYE fan and mod it to fit.

Most of the googles out there are good, but over priced. Head out to the shop and see what's the most comfortable for you. I still like my JT's, mostly because it's the only one I can get to NOT fog up on my head.

I had a Vforce shield, but I couldn't keep it from fogging. I then bought a Vforce morph and I haven't fogged at all since. It uses the same lens to, which leads me to believe it's of a huge importance that it seals well on your face. The morph uses thick foam while the shield is a stiff rubber.

i dont know about the best mask, but i have a jt- flex7 and a proto mask. i like both of them alot but the proto is more comfy....heres something cool on a side note......heres a sentence that uses the word "that" 5 times a row and is gramaticly correct.....

"My teacher said that that that that that student used was in correct."....

i forget where the commas go but thats it.

definately the profiler. love mine... also, take a look around(not pro teams, they don't have much choice) but the tourney players seem to use profilers for the most part, and they wouldnt if it wasn't what they felt helped them the most.

I like my Invision because it sits so close to my face. The Profiler just seems too big for me.

Proto switch=most underrated mask.

Profiler IMO, but seriously anything that keeps paint out or your eyes. All gogles fog up (with the exception of those with annoying fans). At least in FL where it is seriously humid in the summer they do. It's just preference IMO... A guy on field still uses his V force shield because it works fine but he would rather spend the extra cash to save up for a new gun.

But what I like and use is the Profiler.

you guys do relize that the profiler is a rebadged BE? The best mask is always the one that best fits your face.

Remmeber all those stupid threads aboud BE' not being good masks? Anyways, the lenses are completly interchangable. I bought my BE pair about 5 years ago on sale at wall mart for about 20 bucks. Then I bought a new profiler about a year ago. I really like the design and was pretty hot when BE stop making masks, becuase they are really nice!

Holy Crap........I wish they still made those. The BE name would drop the price by like 50 bucks.

I love my Invision, and my Flex 7, I use one for speedball, and one for woods.

well the prowflex dropped to 2nd and now its a vforce profiler

how interesting jake....you dont even have a profiler. (He's on my team so i HAVE to mess with him) :p

But I agree...My Proflex has dropped to 2nd, My new profiler is now number 1 :dance: . But proflex's are still great...but a profiler I find is more comfortable and gives you less of a profile.

the comment about Brass Eagle is partially true as far as i know. Z-Leader was the original company that made those kind of lenses and masks, but they dropped out of business for whatever reason. Either they started up against a Vforce, so as to distance themselves away from the BE name label, or just cuz Vforce rounded up the Z-Leader people again. Z-Leader made good masks though.

Not to flame but is english your native tongue? IF so try this again. BE started V force or was Be driven out of the market by V force?

Vforce shield at PB discounters looks more like the BE mask as it has forehead proctection. the masks are different though. The Profiler has a flex front. But the lenses are the same.
