| Review: |
I play only occasionally, going out a couple of times a year for the past few years. I finally got tired of playing with the low-quality field rental goggles that have tunnel vision and fog up, so I decided to buy my own mask, with field of vision and anti-fog being my primary criteria. I bought the V-Force Shield ($45) and my brother bought the JT Spectra Flex-8 ($60). We traded masks halfway through our game this past weekend to compare and I was very impressed with the Shield.
Field of Vision: Great field of vision - almost total peripheral vision.
Fogging: The Shield has an anti-fog lens and had didn't fog at all during the 4 hours of woods play. We were playing in pretty ideal conditions - about 65 degrees and low humidity, but still - no fog at all.
Fit: This mask is lightweight with a narrow profile. It has full face and ear coverage. The nose and mouth coverage is shaped to prevent pinching your nose. The most comfortable mask I've worn.
Cleaning: The lens is very easy to remove from the mask. There are two clips, one at each temple, that pop out and then the lens itself is popped out. It took less than 30 seconds to disassemble. Reassembly is equally easy. |

| Conclusion: |
A great mask at a reasonable price. I'd strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a mask under $50. |
