JT Spectra ? is this a good mask ?

[Carbon Blue]

JT spectras(260 antifog lense)are the only mask i will ever use! Ive never had any problems with them. Ive had 3 of em over the past 7-8 years of paintball and all performed great. 2 of em were bought brand new and the third one i use as a loaner. Never fogged up and offers better neck protection then some of the other masks out there. The newest one I have has that chin strap and that does help somewhat with the problems of the mask sliding off your face.

don miguel stop posting pictures for no reason, the Spectra is a great mask i agree with someone who posted b4 id go witha flex series but its preference it`ll get you bounces buti`ll also get yuo shot in the mouth time to time depends if you rather have a broken ball outside the mask and paint in your face or a fat lip and a few more minutes to tag the bastard who gave it to ya but either way the spectra is a good mask so are the elite nvader and nforcer

have fun w/ it

I've had my Spectra for almost 10 years now. All I've replaced on it are the ear pieces. I do have a Flex 8 as well, but I actually like my Spectra better.

JT is high quality

As mentioned earlier, get Thermal lens! Nothing is worse than fogging and not being able to see in a firefight.

As for choice of mask/goggle system. I've owned and exclusively used the orgininal Vents Predator (the original soft armor Not the NEW versions that are out), until too many fields telling me they are no longer allowed. I do wear eyeglasses, so that was the biggest factor before choosing a new system.

Do what I did. Go to your local paintball store in person and ask to try out some goggles. This was the best way to compare fit, comfort, and check what you can see with better.

JT Flex 7 was the winner for me. Soft ears were like my original Vents. Wide peripheral vision like my original Vents. Great for eyeglasses like my original Vents.

End result. The perfect goggle system that I could find for tournament use, pump or semi.

The New version of VENTS were not yet released at the time, so I could not compare it. I would like to try, potentially buy, if the price eventually goes down someday.

Funny thing, my teammates followed suit and also bought JT Flex 7s and 8s. If I can only get them to buy Automags!

Recently, I finally changed lenses (The JT's seem more scratch resistant than my old Vents) and put together another JT spectra, for practice and rec games. But the hard ear pieces are less comfortable.

To summarize, don't go for low pricing or what is cheap - Buy what feels, fits, and helps you see the best for you. Safety first........

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.

Seriously.
What the hell is wrong with you?

You're going to tell me the Spectra is a POS?

I don't even know what to say to you.
I'm not even mad.

[Pacifist_Farmer]

Semantically Don shot him self in the foot.

By his logic and wording the "POS" Spectra is the better mask. And I agree, I threw away a spectra about a month ago that I have had for 7 years. They are a great mask for the money. While I feel the Proflex is a better mask, for that price you can only win.

thanks for the help. id go try em out but the closest pb store is about and hour n a half from me and i dont have enough gas ( no cash till payday ) to make it just to look at masks and that store is way overpriced. thanks again

i have a spectra proshield. i'v had it for a good 4 years now since it was my first mask. just a year ago i replaced it with a profiler. its still in awsome shape and easily has alot of life left in it.

[chill will]

Go with the spectra if your a woods baller. It blends well with nature in spring and summer and does alright in the winter. That is what i use. It has my stamp of approval.

The other mask is good to. Just depends on what you want.

I picked up a Vforce Morph mask and like it very much. No fog issues and the lens is amazingly easy to take out. You should be able to get one online for around the same price.

wow your totally cool, you think that POS jt maskk is better than a profiler...

He was asking if the JT mask is a good deal for $35. Yes, it is. It certainly is not a POS. Far from it. It a very good mask with a very good lens with a proven track record. For that price it's probably the best bang for the buck. It's the proverbial small block Chevy of masks. At the same place the Profiler is going for a tick under $70 on sale. Is it twice as good? Will it fog up half as much? Will it protect your face twice as well? Will it last twice as long?

Why do you even post when you really don't know what you're talking about? People come here for advice and telling them that the JT mask is a quote "waste of money" is WRONG, plain and simple.
