    best mask?

    Hey all, I'm in the need for a new mask I took a shot in the nose piece of my old one and it went right through . What are there for good masks nowadays. I love the looks of the new dye invision but I heard if fogs like mad. I play all year long, when it's winter and when it's very hummid out, so I need a mask that won't fog. THanks for your help

    as for fogging, i think it depends more on the person then the mask. after a few months of playing, i didnt get fogging anymore. ive tried nearly every mask on the market during a game for the laster 5 or so years without any fogging, so i think its just your body training itself to not breath hard during the game.

    ive had a vforce for the last 2 years, havent replaced a thing (no need to) and pretty scratchless even though all the stupidity ive put it through

      Get an Invision. Low profile, great visibility, stylish, doesnt fog if you maintain the lenses properly, but it's a ***** to take apart..

            I love my Flex 7, and i'm sure the ProFlex's are even better.

                  Only quoted to be sure I am on the same subject

                  Flex 7 are good but old in design and well, not good enough for some people...I use and like them.
                  The Pro-Flex is something I considered until very recently, the ear protection on the Proflex although lighter and is obviously there to promote bounces...don't deny it guys isn't large enough as it leaves the ear exposed on many people and a mugging might very well result in paint entering the ear...with all these ramping boards etc about would you want to be on the receiving end of these markers without adequate ear protection...sure it is better (if that is the correct word) to be deaf in one ear than be bling in either eye but I like all my senses

                  Are you listening JT/Brass Eagle/K2/Whoever owns the company now...

                  JT and DYE have got the mask design correct as there are not any open slots/holes/gaps anywhere near the eye section (this includes the skin area surounding your eyes) and a positive goggle frame to hold the lens in place...everyone else is relying on pressure not the sensible slot system....btw the Axim is not included in this praise.

                    i use a pro-flex, but im probably going to buy a profiler soon. The proflex is a great mask, but I love how the profiler looks. Pretty much any v-force mask is good for what its made for.

                      I agree on Pro-Flex.

                          Got that backwards; the Flex is agg, the Invision isn't.

                            If your on a budget, get the Proflex. But the Profiler is the best mask IMO.

                              well, this is one of those things my wife let's me spent whatever I want on. She wants me to be safe. I really like both the profiler and the invision, but I have heard the protection has something to be desired. What are your thoughts on that?
