[MrMag]

great mask

I'm getting a proteus, they are comfortable, low profile, scare the newbies (You look like a starwars guy), The ears are cool, did I say it was comfortable... they have like 3 layers of soft soft foam that just fits to your face, I haven't tried a morph or shield but the armor has hard foam so does the invision.

Proflex is also a good choice

i have been looking into buyin a new mask for awhile now and i just made my decision last night and placed the order: a black/yellow jt pro flex

heres my opinion on all the masks out there right now(or at least the 3 most popular high end ones)

the vforce morph is one insanely awesome mask. i cannot say enough about it. its super comfy, about the same as a jt flex 7 or pro flex mask. the lenses are soo clear and the anti foggness is cool too. it just wont fog and its not even double layered. its just "thermo-cured". the lenses come out in seconds which is awesome. i think these are the best masks out there except for the reason i didnt get one. I CANT GET USED TO IT!!! the big bug eyes and it tends to stick out too far forward. i just couldnt get used to it.

the jt pro flex is my favorite(same as flex 7 but soft ears for comfort). its got the jt comfort behind it all the way. i love how confy it feels, especially with the new soft ears. the thermal 2 layer design is very reliable and proven against fogging. the lenses are as clear as you need them to be and when unscratched and clean they are unnoticeable as well. but i love the size and shape of them. thats why i got it. ive been used to a jt mask for years now and i dont think i can go back. the crappy flex 7ize mask as the only ones you should worry about falling apart. the stupid ultra flimsy silocon jaw stretched right over that metal tab and came apart on me.

the dye Nvision has got to be the worse mask out there right now(for the money). its soo uncomfortable. its like hard foam you find on 15 dollar masks. they claim triple layer blah blah, the point is its still hard and crappy. people complain about the fogging but i dont know this for a fact. they are soo tiny also, if u have even a medium head or a big jaw you will be exposed quite abit. the only things these masks have to offer is good peripheral(sp?) vision and looks. not worth it if u ask me.

conclusion: jt flex 7 or pro flex, a vforce morph, or that raven mask from what i hear.(i dont have personal experience with the raven mask)

kingman jsut bought them for money purposes, they havent effected the quality whatsoever. its like when BE brought VL, but without the whole screwing the whole product line up.

and psycho, the v force is the mask i wear when i ref, and its nice, ill give it that, but if u play for long periods of time it starts to get uncomfortable. also, its just not as comfy as the raven

LOL. they screwed VL. The shells might as well be made out of poopcorn, they break SO easily now. Also with JT, the NEW masks they are putting out kinda suck too. BE sucks. But kingmon isnt a bad company, not that I use king or ravens products, but they are good.

I talked to a represenative of B.E. and he told me they moved their production factory and the first batch of black shells were extremely brittle, they did not know this at the time and couldn't stop the company's from selling them, and instead of recalling them (Since it was not a safety hazard) they simply offered new shells. I would suggest getting a clear/smoke/red/blue/green colored revy simply because they don't break

[PsychoBaller]

Um....

I dunno what people are talking about when they say they can't get used to how the VForce Morph is further extened around the nose area.... if u actually grab a ruler and compare a JT Flex 7 and a VForce Morph, from lens to the nose is only about less than one inch farther away.

Takes a bit of time... but u actually have to play it in order to get used to it.... its not that much of a biggie..

Id Suggest a JT Proteus. It fits ver snug against you face. Great lens. Also good forhead protection.

[Blazestorm]

He already bought a proflex

[Vendetta]

I haven't bought a mask yet, but I am looking at the Proteus. The price is down to about $65. Will it protect my chin though? I tried a Dye and it left my chin exposed, is the Proteus similar?

[Eagle]

I love my Ravens, not a lot of forehead protection, but great visibility, very comfortable, never fog, photochromatic.

[SGTKennedy]

its not that the mask doesnt have forhead protection, its that your forehead has grown.
