    well i bought one new in 96~ and it is still useable(replaced a few lenses)

    the foam seems to eb very durable and held in well. great for rec/woodsball or a referee

    alot of tourney players prefer the flex versions because of the added chance of a bounce and softears. but that is just preferance.

      My spectre had a nasty habit of not staying on my head to be truthful. My double strapped profiler hasn't fallen off once.

        I have had one about as long as chronobreak and just replaced it with another that I got from action village (I got all black one). Thru the years I replaced lenses but finally the strap gave out. I could only add so many safety pins to make strap tighter Well plus ear peice broke and wouldnt stay on. I don't wear glasses and never really had problem fogging with thermal lenses as long as I kept moving. If I stopped in one place to long (camping) then it might start to fog. But I had it for 10'ish years and obviusly liked it well enough to buy another.

        Though it's a Christmas present and I'm not allowed to open it I did notice it has chin strap so hopefully it won't fall like what happens to can'tthink of1 .

        I played couple weeks ago and borrowed another JT mask (don't remember name) and it had a chin strap and I never saw this before and I thought WTF is that

          so its a pretty good deal for 35 bucks then. i play woodsball once n a while so it may be used a handfull of times a year so it will probly be fine, just as long as it doesnt fog like my scott mask. how is the size ? ive got a fairly good size head.

            yeah all the newer ones should ahve chinstraps so if yuor worried about it flying off then no more worries.

            the straps are adjustable. you can also customize them nicely with flex/spectre aprts softears,fans,

            JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET A THERMAL LENSE and your set, dont get an "anti-fog" lense

              I've had my spectra for a few years and all I've done with it is change the lense. Granted I have a big head so it stays pretty tight on me.

                  waste of money, just buy a profiler (vforce/draxxus), then you will never go back.

                    are both nice masks IMHO. Cheaper too. I own the second one and like it well enough. I also have a flex that I like a lil better.

                      same mask most fields use as rentals.

                      it's not a 260 degree lens.

                        That's the proof right there Chris, definitely get the JT mask.

                          Man, the first thing I did was cut the chinstrap off w/ my razor knife. :)

                            if it's a spectra it has the same lens as the proflex.

                            you may be thinking of the "elite" which does not have the 260* lens.

                              wow your totally cool, you think that POS jt maskk is better than a profiler... that's like me saying
                              this

                              is better than this:

                              because jt spectra's never fog up and eradicators are better than karnivors.
