To Visor or not to Visor?

[iisp0tii]

i boiled the edges of my visor to make it look like horns. i saw it in a issue of apg for a scenario game painted like a skull w/ the goggle skin. it looked great.

I ALWAYS wear visors, and hats due to past experiances. Back when I first played paintball, I got shot in the head 2 times, and I had a REALLY bad headache. In fact, I think it was a Team mate. Right behind me... Guys, always wear hats, please.

yeah when I first played I saw a buddy get a chunk of hair ripped out from a close range bunkering shot. I always wear a bandana and a visor. Also, FYI. It's a good idea to either take piercings out or tape em down. I've seen earings shot out at least 3 times and I saw a girl almost get her belly button ring torn off. Trust me, after that I ALWAYS tape my piercings down.

I always wear a visor. It helps with glare and to some extent splatter. I've also had bouncers off my visor before.

i wore my visor back in the day, but now i just find that its a usless piece of plastic, i never wore it on my old flex that i had, instead i used a tinted lense, however! indoor games and night games with lights demand a visor, because it cuts the glare,

my new dye invision will also be used without the visor, i also plan on getting tined lenses for that as well, plus i think the dark blue tint makes you look like a bad @$$
haha

i HATE visors.

1. They limit your vertical preferal(sp) vision
2. Depending on what gun you have an how you hold it, it might get in the way. I shoot a Cocker and i tend to hold it a little above the eye level so the back block always ends up hitting the visor and then my shots are off.

I don't wear the visor to my mask. I've got a JT Flex 7 and I found that I get more bounces without it.

To avoid any serious pain, I wear a ski hat that add's a layer of protection and induces more bounces itself.

I attached a pic below so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about.

i dont think ive ever had a head hit since i bought my jt sock hat, its the best thing ive ever had, ive had soo many bounces it sint funny

[MikeCouves]

I think when you wear no visor and no hat it looks kinda weird. I get a nasty glare when I don't wear my visor so it's a must! Visors make it look cool, get rid of the glare, and sometimes the balls bounce right off there.

i wouldnt wear a visor if i was in your positions either, but if you live in florida like i do, you need a visor for the sun, or you need a tinted lense. you dont want anything on your head because then you get to hot, & your mask starts to fog from the sweat(even the dual pane lenses). but i do take off my visor when its cloudy out.

[Cliffio]

visors also do not let your goggles vent as well as without it, i mean think about it, where the visor goes is really the only vent, and im sure not many people have has problems with venting with a visor on but its something to think about if your having that problem

I'd say visors all the way the protect the forhead they shade light and they look better

buy the visor its worth it
