BE sucks? Profiler v. My old BE mask

[GT]

I knew Vforce masks were made by Zleader, whom also made BE masks. I guess what I find ironic are the "newb" comments I get about my BE mask. Both masks use the same lens and the mold for the mask is failry simliar. here are some pics:

Well, once again marketing does its job!

that brass eagle mask is actually a Vforce Shield i think. buy a vforce strap and a visor and nobody would be able to tell :o

Jason=n00b (there were several comments from guys on my team at texball about your BE jersey... I had to laugh because I knew that was what you were shooting for)

ya, I had always noticed the resemblance, and often mistaken the vforce Shield and the brass eagle mask. I didnt know they were actually of the same mold, tho.

Does anyone remember the Skul masks that diablo used to make? I guess they stopped making them when their V-force line took off. I've always wanted a white one of those... Does brass eagle have a counterpart to those, too?

Fact is BE designed a really decent mask, marred because of the BE name and probably poor QC or manufacturing.

I love my BE jersey, Big Yellow! You cant beat 8 bucks for a new jersey!

heck ya...
I got an old JT jersey from a several years back... like 5 or 6 bucks brand new because it was "out of date" and they couldnt sell it...

Its actually more comfy than my 2k3 dye jersey...

V-Force licensed the mask technology of BE. So the Profiler is the evolution of your BE mask. That simple.

Another thing you will notice is that the v-force lens will work on the BE z-leader mask and vice versa.

I just went out and bought a vforce lens to see if I could use it on my old Brass Eagle "bubble" mask.

Unfortunately, there are just enough differences that it'd be difficult to retrofit the lenses. The side mountpoints are about 1 cm shorter in height and the whole thing is actually a wee bit smaller in diameter... I suspect
you could regroove the mask to make them fit, but it's
certainly beyond the effort I want to put in it :)

Just wanted to warn others before they go out and try the same thing...
