Developing New PB Goggle Design

[Jotsy]

for glasses wearers, you could incorporate some sort of prescription inserts system like some shooting glasses

to make it cheaper for the mask, you could even make it so that they use the exact same kind of inserts that shooting glasses use. that way, its one less thing for you to manufacture, and you don't necessarily have to bundle it together with the mask. those who want them can just buy the ones for the shooting glasses.

I wear glasses, and I can't wear contacts because I've had too much damage done to my eyes when I was young and immortal (c:

I want good, quiet mask fans that aren't a PITA to change (like JT). I just made some for my JT mask with external battery, speed control, and two 25mm fans inside the shroud. I'll post pictures in a couple of days in Workshop.

There are a lot of us older guys who still wear glasses. Don't forget us recballes and don't concentrate everything on speedball.

one thing about ventilation, i don't like it when the vents form nice scoops that aim paint right at your mouth when you get a mask hit.

i think it would be awsome to be able to encorperate some sort of headphone system (maybe a mic system too).

small profile and flexability are nice aspects to have.

give me some time (it's currently AP testing) and ill draw up some ideas that I've been thinking of

just consider this post a tag for future reference:

but to be on topic, things i would look for:

1) foam that is soft to conform but still support the mask
2) Light mask
3) Tight profile // doesn't sit way out in front
4) Good ventilation
5) Peripheral vision

Dear AO,
I'm currently working with a team developing a new high-end goggle design for paintball. I wanted to get your input on what features you would like to see in this new mask. Thanks in advance for your input.

Ventilation.
Sweat Absorbing Foam.

-style
-good field of vision
-voice projection (profilers really echo back into your own ears so you think your loud, even if your not, which is not good)
-for high end, i would want something that would encourage bounces
-anti fog
-small (events size is nice)
-be able to breathe really well

i personally think e-vents with slightly better breathability and more customizable....would be perfect.
