| Strengths: |
Doesn't fog up easily (with thermal lens, an absolute necessity here in the south)
Roomy, great for adults, big heads, and guys with glasses (me on all 3 counts)
Comfortable to wear all day long
Good protection, pretty stiff, holds its shape well,
Rugged and no-nonsense
The foam lasts forever
It's cheap, now (but not when I bought mine)
Rubber lower half is very sturdy
Comes with a removable visor
Nice wide strap, stays in place on head |
|
| Weaknesses: |
It's a big and ugly
Like most JT masks, it is difficult to remove lens for cleaning
Field of vision is not a great as many newer masks (but still greater than that of my glasses!)
It's a really old design (early 90's), so you look 'dated'
Not flashy
Much too big for small kids/teens
Balls break on the rubber, they don't bounce off

| Conclusion: |
This is a pretty old design now, and was the forefather of the JT Spectra line of masks. Even so, it's rugged, well made, and was one of the better masks around a few years ago, which is one reason it's still on the market, and it shares many traits with it's later JT cousins. For people with large heads (adults) and/or those who wear glasses, it's one of the better masks around, even today, and is nearly impossible to fog. At $30 or so, with thermal lenses, it's also a great deal, especially compared to many of the cruddy masks around (BE, for instance). I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of mine, and I've worn it for more than 4 years (having just recently replaced it with the V-force morph). |
