[Predater]

there is a guy at my field that got gogged about a month ago with a brand new ize. the linse cracked from the top of the nose piece allmoast to the top of the mask. i would have posted it but i thaught it was a freak accident. sadly i was wrong . next sunday if he has the linse with him ill get a pick of it. but he may have through it out by now.

I have a really old JT Flex-7..one of the originals(clear/black) from like 97'.The lcear is almost yellow its so old.Its my step brothers old one and I have no idea when he changed the lens last.I am getting new mask now just in case.The ear pieces on the old Flex's broke alot.

My mask doesnt have any ear protection on it,and while reffing Sat. night,i got shot in my ear.Figures.

whoa. i just played with sprayingmango yesterday and he showed me a cracked proteus lens. he said it happened last time he played with spacemanspiff. he got double tapped in the goggles from an average distance. there's a crack extending upward from the bottom of his lens. i'll let him know about this thread and get him to post.

Mine and my brothers Nvadar have cracks on them. They are both at almost 2 years old and just need a new lense anyway. 2 years of action including lots of gog shots before they cracked I figure it is pretty safe. I love JT masks. I got a new Proteus when they first came out on the market and have had no problems since the recall. JT makes darn good masks and I'm happy with how they dealt the safety issue on the Proteus.

I have contacted jt and they are willing to help but it stil shoudn't have happened

you will have pics tonight

I have a honest complaint
and if you were to ask me my opinion of jt masks 2 days ago I would have told you that I wouldn't wear any thing else

The lense on my proteus's cracked after the second time useing them. It was the first lense hit, and was a double tap from about 50 feet away. I am disappointed with it but the lense did what it was supposed to do I guess.

I have two JT masks, and I nor my team mates [all of whom use JT masks] have ever had problems with the lenses. However, i will stand behind the statement that the foam has really gone down in quality. So much so, that the new masks are uncomfortable.

This is the inside of the goggle from my JT Spectra which i purchased about 2 years ago. The foam is soft, thick, and goes all the way around the goggle.


This is the inside of my flex-7 ize, which i purchased a few months ago. Even after repeated uses, the foam is very hard, and it doesnt even rap around the whole goggle.


The foam's quality has gone down, but luckily the parts are interchangable between the JT masks, so i use my Spectra goggle inside of my Flex-7, just for the comfy foam.

I AM SO SICK OF THIS...

i am so incredibly sick of people bashing b.e. just because they are a beginner based company. there is absolutely nothing wrong with this grassroutes canadian company that does soooo much for our sport every year. not only is brass eagle the leading paintball company in the world but they bring more people into this sport annualy than all other companies combined. I keep hearing "viewloader sucks ever since b.e. took over" and "jt has gone down the tubes since they got bought by b.e.". well fact is, both companies still operate independently and viewloader has only gotten better since b.e., take away all of your x-boards and polycarb revvy's and youll be back in the viewloader alone days again. also, jt lenses are still as good as always, top of the line, and have NOT gotten bad just because brass eagle bought them out. one more thing, i hear all these crappy players at my field that shoot nice guns ripping on the newbies with their spyders and avengers. did you guys know that kingman is owned by wgp? (i believe thats true)(im not much of a spyder fan but cockers are great). so take your head out of your donkey and realize that there is nothing wrong with brass eagle. hey webby (i think youre tom, correct?) can you back me up here they follow youre word

~COUGH~talon~COUGH~ sorry i got a bit of a cold. youre right BE does make quality paintball things ~COUGH~blade-saber-tigershark-samurai-stingray-avenger-rapter~COUGH~

sorry im really sick

~COUGH~rainmaker~YACK~

wow my ~YACK~ looks like the ~YACK that comes out of the end of a Talon ~COUGH~

[pumpamatic]

I saw a kid playing this weekend who had a vertical crack right above his nose piece on his Flex-7. And lay off BE, my friend hardly ever has trouble with his Stingray, and hey, how else can you start playing paintball for under 100 bux? I happen to like Talons, only like 30 bux to play a nice stock class game. I might even take part in a Talon tournament this summer at Apocalypse Paintball.


Adrenaline- Close but no cigar, WGP bought out Bruizer(Nu-Line) sometime last year. Never had any experience with them, but my friend's Bruizer Wiseguy goes down a lot, but it's pre-WGP.

BT is alawys sick, man just take some Tylenol.

[BTAutoMag]

i know i know i was just having a Talon sucky spree and i got carried away. but i have a friend with one of those too. she fell (yes SHE did) and busted her mask on the side of the gun. the mask cracked, the gun broke.
