| Review: |
Now i sweat ALOT compared to most other ppl, i mean, i had a X-Fire, all it did was fog, on a perfect day, it would do ok, but fogs like a maddman. This Spectra is the best mask, i love it, it doesn't fog! I LOVE IT!! I play forest, and speedball, but in forest you get alot of water, mist, fog, and this mask doesn't fog at all!!! Durable mask, strong, cheap in price, and overall great. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Review: |
Strengths:
-Light
Its not so heavy that it slips down your nose. I like that.
-Hard to fog
Even with single lenses it doesn't fog to much. I like that too.
-Looks good.
Its not really that ugly. I would wear it. You should to.
-Can wear with glasses.
This is a plus for me 'cause some of those small masks won't have room for glasses. I like this alot too since I wear 'em.
Weaknesses:
-Ear pieces tend to fall out.
Not the whole thing but just the foam, and thats just plain annoying. I don't like that.
-Lense a pain to put it.
The first time I replaced the lense it had trouble coming out and going back in. I have been told that it gets easier though. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its a mask. It does its job. Its pretty comfortable. If your looking for a cheap mask I would suggest it since it does its job.
9 'cause very few things are perfect. |

| Review: |
The Spectra Proshield goggle system is probably all you want from your goggles. The basics. It doesn't fog, it has a great field of vision, and it's comfortable. The foam around the lens is very thick and comfortable, but it tends to get soaked from sweating as the goggles tend to get alittle warm. The Proshield offers enough protection and is guaranteed not to screw up on you. So far, I have found no problems with the goggles and I will continue to use them until they get worn down.The lens have also never fogged on me. Anti-fog does destroy the anti fog layer on the inside of the lens, so you should never use an anti-fog spray in conjunction with the anti-fog lens. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you wat a great, rugged and comfortable goggle system that won't fog on you, get the Proshield |

| Review: |
This is a very good mask. It is very comfortable and it never fogs. and its pretty cheap.
One of the problems, though, is that its not flexible, its really hard (maybe thats why its called a proshield?) Paint always breaks on the mask. If you play in the summer heat, it can get hot. and the chinstrap gets annoying but thats easy to cut off. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall this mask is an excellent value. |

|
| Review: |
this mask is fairly small light and good looking
the options for this thing amaze me
Jt has never made a crappy thing(maybe guns)
the hard ear and face shield protect more from mask hits
The only thing that sucks about this is that the colors are very hard to find now. |
|
| Conclusion: |
overall this mask is very good for the money
JT is one of the best mask companies ever(even pmi gets jt to make their mask)
BUY BUY BUY ! |

| Review: |
Its the basic Spectra system. Its really cheap, and has the benifits of that lens, as opposed to a elite. Its comfortable, due to the nice foam. On the downside, its all hard. You wont take any bounces. It kinda shifts around too. And the profile is far larger than that of others. For the price, it is great. The Flex-7s and Proteus's are wayy better, but are more expensive too. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its a simple, comfortable, good mask. Well worth the money. I would suggest it to anyone who doesnt want to spend alot. You get what you pay for, a solid mask. If you want more, get a proteus. |

| Review: |
Ive got the Proshield w/ thermals, which were definitly a improvement with no-fogging.
If you're looking for a mask that eliminates the main BEEF with any player, a.k.a Fogging, then the Proshield w/ thermals will do perfectly.
I have never fogged with these yet, and is optimistic that they shouldnt for the time being, after awhile all lenses will fog because of wear&tear.
The ONLY beef i got with these goggles are the screws in the hard plastic face cover,
over time they will get loose and WILL get loose very easily.
Make Sure You Tighten Them Every time You Go and Check If They Become Loose After Every Game.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
A great product from a tried and tested company.
I couldnt ask for more from a rec mask.
Since theres better masks out there....(Vforce are true contenders with JT)............
Ta-Da! |

| Review: |
Ive had the same mask for the entire time ive been playing paintball. this mask doesn't fog up, even when the weather promotes fogging. many of the people i play with had problems with their masks fogging but i still never have. the only real drawbacks of the mask are that if you want to take it apart to clean it or whatever, its hard to but back together. also paint can get in spots which are hard to clean. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its an excellent mask for someone who doesn't wanna match perfectly in a uniform as it has bland styling....but its simplicity makes it better. |

| Review: |
I have to say I love this mask, it was cheep and its the only mask ive used other then rental ones. so i dont have much to compare it too. I just finally found something to write a review on, cause im new and not rich lol. It was $50 when I bought it like a year ago, I think its about $30 now.
it hardly fogs up, i played in maryland with like 90-100% humidity still it rarely fogged. the only problem I have is the two rubber pads in the back are extreamly hard and the start to press into the area behind your ears, after awhile it starts to hurt but its not umbarable. and this could just be because of the shape of my head who knows.
the slight problem with the pads is not enough to make me buy a new mask so i dont think it will be for anyone else.
UPDATE: I bought another pair of these and JT has changed the rubber pads with soft foam ones, so they are prefectly comfortable for me |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great mask and great price too |
