which mask?

[Manning26]

That was very slick Mr. Adkin.

Anyhow, Liz is completely right about different shaped heads and such. My team was trying to decide this year between Proteus and Dye. Well, the Invision crushed my ears when I put it on, and I could easily see the edges of the lenses in my peripheral vision, which really bugged the heck outta' me. They are cool looking, but terribly uncomfortable for moi. My brother slips 'em on and loves 'em. There, there's my story, you're welcome. By the way, we've all got the Proteus now.

The moral isn't that you should also wear a Proteus, it's just to try your choices on, and see what you really like. And yes, I've totally copied Liz's post, I'm an unoriginal oaf.

Three words for ya : JT Flex 7`s

 

[Manning26]

Gurney, Flex 7's are great goggles, but Mordhir may not like the way they allow entire paintballs through. I've wore 'em since they came out, and have driven home from many tourneys with a split lip. Mind you, it has to be a dead on mouth shot for the mask to let this happen, but if you get a pair of regular JT Spectras, then you'll never have to worry about one getting in on ya'. This is only my experience, but I've had more bloody lips than bounces off my 'Sevens.

Masks

If you don't like the flex-7 coz of the paintballs in the mouth then the proteus is supposed to be even worse: it chanels the paint into your mouth (the revese of what it does to your voice...).

I own a very cheap nVader (which I have upgraded with a thermal lense...so its now an nForcer I think) . This is pretty nice, though doesn't give that good periferal (sp?) vision, but at £25 who's arguing? It is real tight about the face (I think only the Proteus is tighter). Though its not pretty ("Uugh! Uurgh! That mask Uurgh!" quote Hatts) a number of poeple think it looks cool. But I am a wimp and so I like the fact that no paintballs hit me in the mouth!

Oh and the proteus doesn't cover your entire face, a good chunk of your chin is unprotected... that's gonna sting!

The phrase "whatever floats your boat" was invented for post such as these

To wear an nVader you need a small head like richard. I prefer the occasional pain of a slit lip to the constant pain of the mask digging into my head. The proteus is comfortable where as my head won't fit into an ugly nVader. The viser is great at deflecting paint too. Blood is always good anyways. I will just quote our lacrosse team motto: If theres no blood it aint a foul.
