    How many masks is too many masks?

    How many masks is too many masks? What do you do with the old ones?

    I have a Flex-7 and a V-Force Shield. I plan on getting a Profiler, which look very neat.

    The Flex-7 lacks a lens, so with the new Profiler I would also have a fully functional backup mask.

    Do you guys have backup masks, piles of old JT Whippers, or sell them off?

    I got 2 JT ones I keep for backup and/or if a friend wants to play. Nice to have extras because they always break when you dont want them too.

              hey now mine has foam and a new lens in it! I am getting the impression that a good paintball to the face of LaW's might add ventilation...

                I have three of the BE version of the morph.

                One is my play mask, one is my photography/ref mask, and one is a backup/loaner mask.

                I'm debating about picking up the new JT full head mask just to see how it feels.

                  HAHA, hey its either that or I have some old jt whipper masks in a box somewhere, and I think i'd rather have the flex :) I had paint inside my mask i got shot so much during that moment at shatnerball :)

                    I have a JT Airstream mask with no lense sitting on a shelf in my room, and a V-Force Morph in my gearbag. My old V-Force Shield belongs to a friend now. Come Christmas, I hope to own a Profiler.

                      I have 3 cheap JT masks from Wal-Mart, a JT X-Fire, Flex 7 and finally a Proteus. Is that excessive?

                        I have wittled down my collection of masks. But as of now I have 3... 2 Scott stalker maks and a Invision.... and I intend on getting a profiler when they get released on the open market.

                          I have 4 JT masks. I take them to the field with me every time. Never know when a loaner will be needed by someone.

                            You cann't have too many masks. I have seven good ones and four that need new lenses.

                              I keep two in good shape and my kid has two. We have indeed had a day when we had to go to the back up from a leaking thermal lense. A back up is always a good idea.

                              I have a Flex 7 and a Dye Invision

                              He has a JT (the good one but non flex one forget what that one is called) and a Proteus.
