Dye Invision Vs JT Proteus

[confedman75]

I was just wondering which mask you like better because im having a hard time decicding which one to get.

[Omicron]

I like VForce Morphs

[Troy]

Dye gogles are not for people with big skulls.

[TRIAD]

Dye Invision Goggles: Because toddlers need eye protection too.

JT Proteus Gogles: You better hope this batch doesn't have a recall.

Not to diss them, but both are small. The Dye invision have a limited viewing area.

[magman007]

the dyes are cooommmfffyyyy but have absolutely no protection. you have a better chance of going out with an old jt whippersnapper than you do an invision.


i still reccomend a flex 7. still the nicest mask i have owned to date

[Bulldog]

They are both small, but the invision covers alot more than you'd think. I bought one because I felt my spectra didn't cover enough. I was surprised by the size of the invision, but again surprised by how much it covered. They are very comfy. As far as restriced viewing area, I'd have to disagree. I'm coming from a spectra tho, so maybe that affects my opinion. I thought spectra's had a good view, the invision's is better.

Besides, the proteus is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Just personal opinion tho.

Dye goggles are nice..I don't see why everyone is complaining. Nice and snug, it doesn't feel like you're wearing a mask at all. They're also the best looking in my opinion.

[Ov3rmind]

Omicron knows it! The V Force Morphs are super comfy, never fog, and give you a huge range of view. They also have a very easy lense to remove and clean. I would never use anything else after using them.

[RetroEclipseMan]

I haven't gotten to try an invision but heard that they do fit real snug. The Proteus is just plain ugly unless the visor is taken off. For the price I would still go with a JT Flex since it's close to half the price of an Invision and just a good in my opinion.

[TRIAD]

I've tried on an invision, and if you have small head, i guess they're ok, but they don't cover anything for me. They leave my ears, neck, and chin/mouth exposed. I own a JT nForcer, but I have tried v-forces and would much rather have one of those.

[spacemanspiff]

I got the invisions when the 1st came out and play with them about every weekend and have yet to get hit in the chin. And they just barely cover my chin the only time its not protected is if I'm yelling. Oh and dye is making longer ear pieces for people with bigger nogins. I came from using ize flex-7's before my invisions and took more shots to the chin and mouth with those. The ball actually would fold the flex part in and it would break. I have a guy on my team that wears his fle-7 with the bottum folded up. He has even less protection when he does that then I do. So basically it comes down to what ever you fell more comfortable in. You'll be wearing it for most of the day and if you don't like the one you pick up sell it and get a different one.

[Thordic]

Im the one who wears the flex part of my mask folded up when Iplay. It gives me more air, and also makes it easier for people to hear me when I yell.

I have yet to take a shot in the mouth/chin so I don't see the problem. Your gun should be in front of your face anyway

My problem with the DYe goggles is the fact they don't fit my massive head. My ears stick out from behind even the new extended ear pieces, which pinches my ears and is rather uncomfortable.

Of course, I have an immense head, so its more of a personaly problem.

[HoppysMag]

Flex 7/Xfire... thems the good stufff... lots of protection, style, and comfort.

[Shirow]

I have Dye Invision and really like them, but they are kinda small. My head is relatively small I guess I've seen huge guys wearing invisions though that don't cover their entire chin. You should try 'em on first. Very comfortable though.

[tremis]

At IAO I tried on every type of mask there and on my particular noggin, they all had similar levels of comfort. The only goggles I ever found to be more comfortable were the first generation Vents.

I thought the DYE appeared to have better ventilation but I couldn't really see a difference.
As far as looks, I would go with the proteus with a flex 7 visor on it.
The Flex 7s have always looked bad from the front. The mask is wider than the goggles giving it a bell bottom look.
The Dyes have an interesting profile. They kind of look like they have the whole ape/chromag look with the protruded jaw/snout.
The proteus visor is just plain bad looking and the original proteus visor was gay.
Since the visor os the only thing thats easily changed, I'd go with the proteus and remove or swap the visor out.

These opinions are entirely my own so don't bother posting that I'm "wrong", an opinion can't be wrong.( especially mine)
