Revision Mask!

[evan123]

Look like a alien and a gorilla had wild love making and this popped out.

[elpimpo]

the reason u dont have a problem with field of view in glasses is that there isnt a chunk of plastic blocking the sides

[elpimpo]

. Your field of vision obviously isn't limited in regular sunglasses. .

sorry this ^^^ is what i was talking baout

[Blazestorm]

Maybe if it was black, I'm not for funky colored masks

[Snapps]

Why am i thinking this mask resembles the Predator?

[Big Weapons]

I wouldn't wear that unless I wanted to resemble an insect. The patterns on it are pretty trippy. I don't know, like other said, the field of vision looks horrible. The sunglass reference is incorrect -- You have other material blocking your peripheral vision in a mask.

If you goto their website and actually look around, they have an image of a model head wearing them (or at least a prototype). From that pic (which is a side view) it really doesn't look like the peripheral view is limited at all.

Side View

The sideview is in their little slide show of the mask images which is about half way down the page.

You guys are missing the point of these goggle/glasses. This company specializes in sports goglge wear. You know the wrap around glasses that you see basketball players and what not wear. While nonw of us have a mask infront of us to actually inspect it, Im sure that they function just like thoses goggles do. The pro sports players wouldnt wear the glasses/goggles if they didnt work right or obstructed your view. Notice in the pic how they sit further back in the mask the the frontal face portion. They are going to sit right on your face. This comapny isnt going to spend 100's of thounds of dollars if not more on something that doesnt work. Especially when its all they do.

Companies do it all the time.


As for these new goggles.....bluh.

Looks.Glasses.How it is worn.Too many parts.Innovation.Apparent lack of research in the market they are trying to reach.

As with all out-there sports, there is a great desire for participants to "look the part". Previous masks were:
 not designed to be "customized" to meet personal taste
 not equipped with any appearance altering variables
 just not cool!

What? There are no other masks on the market currently that allow you to alter their looks? Did they even check?

Not cool? Again, who did they ask? Did they even look for themselves?

Customized to meet personal taste? It is first and foremost a piece of safety equipment. And there are plenty of ways to alter current masks to better personalize their looks. What is next? Will they enter into the construction market as well? Oh, I forgot, they say this CAN be used there as well

Ideal for sports or activities that demand facial protection from airborne objects, this, or very similar technology and design development, may easily find applications in motorsports, security, and construction industries.

Any place selling these yet?

I've been waiting for a company to make a system that takes prescription lenses. They have been making SCUBA masks that take a snap in presription lense for years.

As long as the prescription lense thing worked then I'd absolutly wear this mask. God forbid I looked different than anyone else.

Heya Shartley! Good points, wanted to comment on a few tho.

Looks.

Well, the "Bug eye" goggles were weird too, after tehy became the V-force (with tweaking) everyone seemed to like them. First product and final product are usually different things.

Glasses.

It might also be a convinence issue too, single lenses might be easier for them to do. Who knows? My concern is the perepheral vision, or lack therin. They might also be doign it for a "cool factor" too.

What? There are no other masks on the market currently that allow you to alter their looks? Did they even check?

I think they meant that it's a feature players like, not that it's something you can't find anywhere else.

Customized to meet personal taste? It is first and foremost a piece of safety equipment. And there are plenty of ways to alter current masks to better personalize their looks

It's a feature, nothing more. My JT's I can alter the color combos on he mask, goggle frame, visor and strap. Heh, actully I can make one heck of a "hooptie goggle" if I wanted to. They're saying that their system has the same features.

It's a fresh look at the masks for paintball. I don't like the look myself, but I'm willing to try them out too. I also look at it another way too. there was a time that barrel plugs were new too. You don't know if something will be positive until it's put out to the market and we all get a chance to see it ourselves.
