I was just wondering what masks are good to use with glasses when playing paintball. I sometimes wear glasses and sometimes wear contacts. But when I play paintball I definately wear contacts. I have tried wearing my glasses with my JT Flex 7 mask(inside is the same as the JT spectra series) and my glasses get pushed up off my nose and don't really fit good enough in the mask to think about playing that way. So what do you other glasses wearing people do? yo.

I usually wear my contact as well, but a good mask to use with glasses would be the Maxx Vision mask. Yes...it's Brass Eagle, and you guys BETTER not even start flaming it. Until you've tried it, don't knock it. I LOVE this mask. The peripheral vision is just simply awesome, and I have very little problems with fogging.
It's a wide lens spaz, with plenty of room for glasses. I'd look for that or something else that is specifically for glasses...I know there's others out there...

I use some PMI mask but the only problem i have is that my glasses themselves fog up not my mask it kinda sucks cuz i can't shoot worth **** without them.

Once in a while I wear glasses for paintball (my vision is good enough that most times I don't need em) and they fit under my flex 7s no problem. YOu obviously have bigger glasses though, so I'd look into the V-force line, I believe they even make a specific lense designed to be worn over glasses

i use the jt flex 7 ize
it fits perfectly.. i dont know why it doesnt fit you
actually in the march 2002 APG it had an article on this very subject, i belive they actually said that the v-force was the worst system they found for glasses, while the jt spectra was the most liked, and the raven's the authors choice because apparently it has a buckle on the mask strap or something so you dont bump your glasses when putting it on.

I use the Spectra thermal with Vortexx Fan. It's pretty good.

I guess my glasses just suck or something. There not that big. Oh well, I would rather wear contacts anyway.

Crime Dog is right! My wife uses a Brass Eagle Maxx Vision over her glasses and it's an excellent mask. I tried it for a game or two and if I was in the market for a new mask its what I would buy.

Keep in mind everyone that few people even have the same frame size they are also made to fit ur head. SO that could be why

I suggest eye surgery.
LASIK and PRK seem to be the best methods...they're also the only ones that don't disqualify you from military service.
