    I agree. Still have mine, but retired them. Most fields no longer allow them and they are no longer made.

    That's how I settled on JT's. They felt right at the store and was the most comfortable for me. Lenses are not fast to change out, but very safe and secure on field.

      JT Flex 7 with IZE... hands down most comfortable versatile mask ever! A bit of a pain to get foams for, but I've found them new from time to time. I've had mine for almost 9 years now and I just simply haven't found anything better. I am about to buy another one simply because mine is getting a little worn, and I'm not sure I want to wear blue any more.

      Oh... and they bounce paintballs like crazy!

        Just remember NOT to be gentle with them. A lens change only takes me about 60 seconds.

          I'm JT guy. I used to swear by JT back in the 90's with Spectras and then later when the Flext 7's came out. I switched to a pair of Profilers that were okay. Then I got a nice set of Save Phace goggles. The SP masks were great, but too small for my big head.

          Well later... I was in a crunch at the local field when I forgot to pack my mask so I bought a new pair of JT proflex's. Wow, I can't believe I ever strayed. I'm completely sold on JT masks. Comfort, fit, and the fact that I've NEVER been able to get one to fog are reasons I'm not going anywhere else again.

              I know you said you don't like Dye goggles but I'm going to recommend the Dye I3. You can get them new for about 40 dollars on Ebay then buy some soft ears for another 8 dollars, trim the cheek area, remove the ear foam and install the soft ears. You now have a I3 Pro for under 50 dollars.

                I'm currently in the market for a new pair of goggles myself... this past Saturday I stopped by the local PB shop to check out what's on the wall and see what feels good.

                Profiler: I like the look of the Profiler. but the goggles are pressing my temples. it's ok at the store... but after a whole day of play, I'm concerned it's going to be a pain after hours of use. It's a "maybe" if I can figure out how to wear the goggles so it's comfortable.

                Gills had the same issue as the profiler and I'm not fond of the look. so that is a no

                Vents felt OK... the look is starting to grow on me. The store did have a wide selection of colors and patterns for the vent.

                I4s are just too too small in terms of face protection. The I4 reminds me of the old school JT Goggles. Not a fan of hits on the jaw and neck. This is a no on my list.

                I3 felt very nice. but the store only had it in blue. So I may purchase this online if i end up choosing these goggles.

                Protos... too many of my friends use these masks. so I'm leaning away from it.

                Right now, what's my choice??? I dont know. I'll be going back to the store this week to try them all on again. really the only way to choose the "right" goggle is to try them all on and see what you like and feels confortable.
