V-Force Masks

[Super Nick]

Where can I find V-Force masks for the lowest price?

[dalimus-thaden]

At paintballfx.com you can get a v-force shield for $30 and the armor for $19. (The $30 shield is the solid black rental version, if you want the regular version they are $41 with a choice of color)

[Pookister569]

what is the difference between the rental and the regular version of the v-force shield?

[dalimus-thaden]

look at the thread "v-force shield rental version" that I posted a couple weeks ago. Mad ogre explains the difference.

[dalimus-thaden]

oops wrong thread, check the "v-force customer service" thread, the difference is explained there.

[Mad Ogre]

Kinda looks like I really like these VForce masks huh?
I'm not the only one. My whole team wears them save a couple guys who are getting them.
JTs are what the pro guys wear because of sponsorships.
If they had the choice now - they would be wearing VForce.

Bold statement - but true. JT is the Establishment and Vforce - actually good old ZLeader is breaking that establishment down. How? Simply by making a better product. Better by design and not by color options.
All those JT spectra masks - what are the differences?
Oh - this one is soft - this one is blue. This one is soft and blue... and this one is soft, blue and Transparent! WHOA! Please... Thats how you market lame PCs not something I protect my eyesight with.

[Pookister569]

mad ogre does have a pretty good point there.

So i understand that $41 is the best price forthe shield but what is the best price for the morph? I have found it for $65 anyone found either of the masks cheaper??

[Super Nick]

Thanks for the info guys.

[Mad Ogre]

65 isnt bad.

[Pookister569]

i'm having a problem with the v-force shield. the mask keeps slipping down when i run around with the mask on. is there any solution to this problem?

[Pookister569]

wow, thank u for the help. any other smart @$$es have a solution?

[Mad Ogre]

If you dont want to tighten the strap... try a couple dabs of glue on your face.

Seriously - Why is it slipping? Is the strap losening?
If it is - run a couple lines of hot-glue along the strap to give the buckles a better grip so they will stop slipping.

[filasophikal]

wear a beanie under the goggle, and tighten the strap over the beanie... i think image and some other people teams use v-force as a sponsor.

where can i find v-force morph mirror replacement lenses...

http://www.piratepaintball.com and they have free shipping!!!

[Xander]

Holy SH!TZU that is hecka-nice! Are you sure they have free shipping because if they do than I am getting a mask there???

[Super Nick]

I just played my first game with my new V-Force Shield and I have to say that I'm very disappointed. The mask continually slipped down my face. I couldn't make any quick movements, or I would be looking over the top of my mask. That's not a very safe thing to have happen when paintballs are whipping by your head. I'm going to call the company and see if they'll refund my money.

[Mad Ogre]

They keep slipping?
You either dont know how to adjust your strap, or you have a defective version. The Shield RENTAL has a different strap than the regular Shield masks... The regular masks have a silicon treatment on one side of the straps that make slipping impossible.
Take your Rental strap and apply lines of silicone along the length of the straps. Let dry over night and put it back together and your done.
You must have a very small head. If thats the case - SCOTT makes a small sized mask that will fit you.

I like JT masks, even though they are more expensive

[Mad Ogre]

Overpriced and over rated.

[Super Nick]

I actually have a fairly large head. It keeps slipping because the strap is way to stretchy, and the foam on the mask is really smooth, so it gets slippery when I sweat.

[moodydoody]

thats weird that it keeps slipping. i love my sheild and i got it from http://www.paintballdiscounters.com for a good price. i am getting a morph soon because they rock.

I am suffering from the same problem, the mask keeps slipping down my face when i run around. i think i may do the samething as you or maybe i could find a way to fix the problem.

god i love my vforce, even though i have the rental version, they do not fog at all i took the lense in a hot shower with me and it didnt fog, fits snug on my face without the silicone strap, and that fact that i got it for only 20 bucks.

[Xander]

Is the strap on the V Force like the JT masks how they have those 2 adjustable things on the strap?

[Mushi]

First, I don't remember seeing any JT masks specifically in my hands, so I don't know exactly, but the V-Force masks do have two strap adjustment thingies.

Dude, seriously, its not that hard a problem to fix. I understand what you mean by slipping down, the shield is a pretty heavy mask, making your face pretty front-heavy. I had the same problem for like the first five minutes I was playing around with my mask. Your problem has to be that you aren't wearing the strap right.

The strap, if its parallel to the top of your head (i.e. you're wearing the strap straight back from the mask), won't prevent the mask from slipping. Its going to slip, due to the fact gravity pulls stuff down and a horizontal strap isn't going to counteract gravity in any way. So, how do you wear it? Wear the strap on top of your head, at about a 45 degree angle from your mask. That way, when you bounce around, the strap is pulling up on your mask already. If you did try that, well sorry, I guess you're out of luck. Try wearing a beanie or a hat underneath.

Anyway, I wear my shield with a backwards baseball hat and the strap on the crown of my head and I can't make my V-Force shield slip down at all. My glasses do get jarred if I bounce too hard, but I wear contacts when I play, so its not an issue.

[Congobongo]

err i dont have the rental version i got mixed up hehe im saving up for the shield though god they are good masks

[Super Nick]

This is kind of an old post, but I fixed my problem a while ago. I wear a hat backwards, too, and I put three beads of hot glue on the strap so that it wouldn't keep slipping down. Now that I have it working right, it's a pretty good mask, but if I had it to do over again, I would buy a JT mask with a Spectra lense.
