I'm buying my first gun setup and I need to decide on which goggs to get. I've narrowed it down to the V-force armor and the V-force shield. Armor is $20. Shield is $40. Which mask should I get? What features does the Shield have over the armor that make it cost $20 more. I want good coverage, which has the better of the two? Is the shield the same mask as armor just with a neck guard and visor? Does the armor come with a visor? I appreciate all the help. NOTE: I am only looking at these two masks, nothing else.

Hey, where are you getting a shield for $40? I can only find them for like 50-60.

I use a Shield, it is awesome! One of the coolest things about V-Force goggles is how easy the lenses are to change.

I heard that the foam in the shield is softer than the armor. Don't know if true though. Tried the armor and the foam was kinda uncomfortable.

Armor's Foam is rock hard... not cool... my JT Proteus goggles own... I got them somewhere for 40 bucks... but anyway... the foam in the proteus is really soft the shield's foam is semi soft... proteus all the way...

Ok I'm tired right now so I sound like an idiot =)

He said he doesn't want anything else besides the 2 masks. Everyone says the shield, so take it!
