New JT Mask...pictures

[nippinout]

That mask doesn't look 'borg' at all! Do you see the ocular implant anywhere?!??! :)

The thing looks like it has picatinny rails on the bottom!

Doesn't look well vented. Probably not good for us guys with manboobs. I have a hard enough time with stairs, now they want us to fog up our lenses.

Wow, I just noticed the amount of neck armor they put on the thing. It wraps around the mask.

It's probably aimed at the 'rec' crowd because they think it would appeal to us. We want neo-post-apocalyptic-techno-uber-vibe-robo goggles I guess.

I wonder if JT likes to make over technical descriptions that say nothing about the actual product itself, other than the fact that its "biomorphic"

Blegh... ugly ugly ugly... and, did I mention ugly?

[JEDI]

That is frikkin ugly. I love my Flex 7. What was wrong with that? If JT ever discontinues the Flex 7, I'm gonna torch their factories

[WARPED1]

Ever notice since the BE takeover,JT's gone to crap?

[mag-hatter]

Naw, it's not BE, it's the path paintball is taking, I guess JT wants you to get shot in the neck more often, lol

Thats the worst thing I have ever seen come outta JT since the Speed Pod!

[Smoke]

No kiddin. If you got gogged, you'd be cleaning paint for years. Boo-urns on BE. (for messing up JT)

Well i kinda like the look of them, but i guess that makes me the only one.

You may find the look good but many won't. The looks is far to complex to be liked by many. I mean, if you look at cars, many of the car designs are very simple and elegant. That way the design won't have any ugly details about it. If a design is overcomplex it begins to have more chance for flaws or bad taste.

Hang on, lemme look at the hype :

This dual density, co-molded, biomorphic mask is a true revolutionary piece of protection. The finish on this beast is achieved through the use of Spectra Flare materials that were chosen solely for their specific gravity and molecular weight ratio properties.

dual density : Old 5 inch floppy term, meaning oyu could cut a notch in it and make it work 2 sides.

co-molded : Hmm, it's molded WITH something else, or in conjunction with someone else? like a co-author or a co-producer?

biomorphic : Bio meaning alive or possibly biological. Morphic meaning change, transformation. So it makes your skin crawl.

Spectra Flare : They burned the old spectras to make this one? Or it was a case of spontanious combustion?

molecular weight ratios : So, what, they went to the atomic chart? I guess that "Einsteinium" was too much, huh?

I still think that the "Proteus" was the "Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger Signature Series" goggles. It seems to me that they're trying to make goggles where "Function follows Form". They have a great idea with the lens, can't they just incorporate that into the Flex 7 we all like already?

Oh, wait, paintball embraces the "Diffrent", and "Newer is better". Umm, yah, right.

Hasn't the simple elegant workings of the Automag remained, basically, untouched for more than a decade? Oh sure, it's been improved, but it's basically remained the same design. There's a lesson in that.

I liked JT when they still made motocross stuff... Made some nifty looking speedball/motocross pants. But you might as well face it, Brass Eagle is going to buy out everything and become an uncontrollable ugly monster.

[JAM]

I have to agree with the group here, that mask is pretty ugly,

but... just wait 'til the magazines start running pics of pros wearing it and people will start going "yeah, that mask is sweet"...

I'll stick with the 'ol flex 7, thanks.

I'm surprised that most of you think it's ugly. I'd think it would be a hit with the younger crowd. I don't think it looks all that bad. Then again, you won't see me wearing one...
