Lens "Punch Through" Pics.

[Wc Keep]

this may be a freak occurance ive been using my invisions for over a year and a half with nothing remote to this happening.

Manike: I can only say that I'm 99% sure they were seated correctly.
Dyes are obviously either "in" or "out", and as far as I can tell they were snapped into place.
I have at times popped the mask away from the lens frame for ventilation in the summer, but never the lens from the frame.
It may mean nothing, but I really felt the shot. I think it was just one of those perfect things.
As for safety, I had far more problems with mask failures using JT's than any other. Things like frame cracks, strap clasp breaks where the thing just fell off my head in a game, and hairline lens fractures. Others I know have had Zero problems.
I actually have 4 sets of invisions, 3 in my bag at all times, plus extra lenses, and I intend to keep using them exclusively. (About the only DYE thing I like)
I would say all masks are pretty much the same thing, I just happen to like Dye's fit, sight lines, and breathing capability better than the others. If it were me, I would never wear a face mask, just goggles, and Dye's come closer than anyone else to that ideal for me.

for the people talking aout profilers, just make sure you have at least one clip in... if not both... and that they ARE in... i've seen a guy playing a game (b'slap guy I believe) and as he was walking off from getting shot... i see somethign fall on the ground.. that would be his lenses..... the shot poped his gogs out of the frame.... those clips are there for a reason.

Did your DYE lens actually crack, or just let paint thru? Either way I think there is a design flaw or a manufacturing defect.

Noice. Glad I went with a profiler over an Invision. Glad to see you still have two eyes (one or both not being a bloody mess)

i had a JT mask and went to bunker one guy and there ended up being 2 (we were also playing pump) anyways i got my guy i knew was there and the other guy gogged me from like 5 feet....it put a nice little spider web crack in the lens...i just stopped using that mask that day.

Yeah I had a similar thing happen with a JT Flex ... Took one on the bridge of the nose from a couple yards... Hit at an odd upward angle, put about 1-1/2" crack through the outer lens... And the lens was on it's 2nd day of play... So it does happen... I currently wear a Dye Invision, but I don't think this really is common a problem. I am pretty sure all masks have failed, given the right situation...

I had a JT flex ice (date mark on lense) 08-00 crack down the center through the lense and thermal

good thing i have a profiler my old mask was a jt ize and it worked great but i wanted profilers my other mask is all goofed up i gotta fix it sometime but whatever

[coyote]

That looks like black shelled GAP with green fill...

Last pumpday on the same field (couldn't make this one) I had a lens crack. It was a year and a half old though, and that means the it was due for replacement.

I am going to be the optimist of this group. The mask, even in failure, protected the user.

Glad your ok , Me and my teammates (2 emags 1 xmag) shot a crappy 32* mask from about 15ft away after about 10sec of shooting it cracked and shattered

Now what if that actually happened durning a game?

[WARPED1]

I've seen that happen. But usually to JT's, JT became crap when BE bought tyhem. Example: before BE 0 recalls, since BE boght JT, 2 recalls.

If that happened during a game then you and your team mates should be charged with assault.

2 E-mags and an X-mag at a conservative 10bps would mean 100 shots each into someone's head... So that's 300 balls into someones head in 10 seconds!

Nothing is designed to withstand that.

If that was to ever happen to someone playing then I hope charges would be filed.

damn i knew manike to be a smart guy i didnt think he would mess up 100+100 which in essence is 1+1

Another reason for me to dislike dye masks.

true. Give me a jt spectra any day
