| Review: |
Well... Hmm... how to start. I saw this thing, and thought it'd be neat to have for BushBall. I love BushBall, and love hiding. So naturally, I wanted my mask to be camoflauged along with me. In the pictures, you can't really tell how cheap these things really are. It's basically a camoflauged Bandana, pressed onto foam, and cut out. And I mean this literally. The edges don't even stick. Not to mention, installing this thing was retarded. It has loops for your goggles. For those goggle system that the straps don't detach, you have to remove the goggles, wedge the material in, and re-install the goggles over the lips of the Goggleflauge to hold it in, and then twist tie the outter edges because it's flimsy.... And I don't think it even camoflauges very well. Especially since there's a lense in the middle of it all. All in all... pretty useless, though a very cool idea. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Uh... not worth the money, and not very effective. |

|
| Review: |
just looking at this, i can make one out of camo cloth from wal-mart's sporting goods dept or just whatever cloth you wanted from their tailoring dept (or whatever they call it). about $5 worth of material, time spent tailoring it to fit your goggles, and you're set. even get a diff color than "treebark." or make a little bandana and hang it over the mouth of your mask and pretend to be the Paintball Bandito.
or get a 100 of em, attach em to a cardboard cutout shaped like a tree, find a spot on the field and camp. no one will ever know. |
|
| Conclusion: |
if you're a serious woodsball player, have money hanging out your ears like so much waxy hairs and are too lazy to make one, get it.
if you're like me and find yourself snacking on the crumbs between the couch cushions during those last 48 hours before payday because you spent all of your last paycheck on other, more crucial, paintball gear, don't get it.
i'm giving this a 5 because although i trash-talk, it's a good idea. a good, expensive idea. |

| Strengths: |
This stuff is great! It works really well to the point of almost making your face mask invisible to the opposition. It also comes in different types of camo to suit your playing environment which I think is really cool. It also keeps some of the paint out of your mouth when yuo get a mask hit. Some say that it makes the balls bounce off and that is sometimes true but nothing can stop a direct hit to the mask from breaking. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
It was a little bit difficult to fit on my Spectra but I finally disregarded the insructions and got it on my own way without putting it through the straps. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This piece of foam and cloth is a major advantage when playing in the woods or a similarly colored environment. I think it is a great investment and that if you are getting sick of eating paint and being spotted because of your mask then I recommend it.
I would give it a 10 but do to the trouble I had in getting it quickly on to my mask I'd give it a 9.5 but since I can't I guess round up to a 10. |

| Strengths: |
Put one of these on your mask and you will be unseen throughout the whole game. These are the ultimate camoflauge for your mask. Nothing beats it. This is a great present for the sniper. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Cleaning. If you get some paint on it, it is hard to clean off. But after a few days, it just wears off. Installation. It was somewhat difficult the way they explained it to install. You just have to figure it out yourself. But these are very minor penalties to this camo. The price may be about 5 bucks too expensive. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall this is a great thing to put on your mask. It is worth what its cost, no doubt. There are no other camoflague for your mask to use. I dont recommend this stuff for speedball because you dont need it. It is only for wooded areas and besides you look like a wierdo with camo on your mask in a speedball field, (thats why I bought a different mask today). In conclusion, I would definelty recommend this for a sniper and really helps. I LOVE IT! |

| Review: |
I am reviewing this on what the product is supposed to do, not my preference. I said 6 months of use, because thats how long I used it. I have had it for almost 2 years.
This is a great thing if you are an avid woods ball player. It is more intimidating than useful though. Most masks are black anyway, so there isn't much to camouflage. The thing is annoying to put on and off. You have to take your strap off. When you want to clean your lens this thing usually gets in the way. It restricts your view a little, but not too much. The top part is hard to make stay up. I don't even know if that is how you are supposed to wear it. Check out the pic I have uploaded. I guess the neoprene will encourage bounces. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I realized this thing was more annoyance than useful. Its all up to you though. I would say spend the $20 somewhere. Heck I'll sell you mine for less. This is mostly a novelty item in my opinion. It didn't really help me in the woods, but didn't hamper me either. I gave it an 7 because it is kinda annoying, but serves its purpose of camouflaging your mask. |

Provides some type of camo |

| Review: |
I saw some of these online and laughed at the discription. "Dont let your head look like a head" it said. I didnt buy it, but I have seen some in one of my local paintball stores. This stuff is pretty usless. Once yu get paint on it you need some water to wash it out because the thicker paint would get stuck in the foam holes.
There are only two good things about this mask cover:
1) It adds stick/spike like edges around your mask so it wond have the exact mask shape from a distance.
2)It is sure to give a few people some laughs. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Dont buy it. GO outside, fetch some twigs and tape them to your mask. Its cheaper, more durable, and you will get the same effect. |

| Review: |
I play lots of woodsball, and I wanted something to help camo my goggles (I also have a camo goggle skinz on my lens), but I didn' t want to spend the money for a full ghillie hood.
Considering it was only about $15, I'm happy with what I received. It does break up the lines of your goggles. It is cheaply made, but if you maintain it you should be fine. The canvas does separate from the foam, but a little glue or rubber cement can fix that.
I had to use zip straps to install it on my goggles.
I had to stretch it to fit on my goggles, and it did start to tear at two points.
You may need to trim it around the lens to prevent obscuring your vision in the periphery.
I have a JT goggles with the little sun visor. I had to cut a hole into the goggleflauge for the visor. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I'm happy with my purchase, and I will continue to use the goggleflauge. I think it's worth it for the price you pay. Just know what you're buying and don't expect miracles.
When the goggleflauge finally tears completely and becomes unusable, I doubt I'll buy a replacement. You could easily fashion something similar out of a camo bandana. |

| Review: |
This mask cover is okay. It looks cool, but is just really hard to put on and clean. I really like it for wood play but if you take it on and off which is difficult it will begin to break at the strap cuts.
Cons:
Hard to put on; doesn't stay up without tying it to th top and bottom of the mask; flimsy; annoying for regular paintball |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall, this is great for wood play, but is just really annoying and not worth it most of the time. And unless you wear all camouflage and a Gilly suit it is unnecessary but it does look cool. |

they work pretty good in the woods |

dang near impossible to install |
|
| Review: |
well these things do work ok, they really break up the profile of your mask. however they were pretty hard to install on my spectre mask. i had to cut the thread on the strap to install them, then sew it back up. nothing too major, but kind of a pain |
|
| Conclusion: |
like i said they are ok, but hard to install |

|
|
| Strengths: |
great price
does a great job of camoflauging your mask
durable
doesn't have to be taped or glued to you mask
easily removed |
|
| Weaknesses: |
it bends to all different positions and if held in a certain position for long enough it will stay there
it is a little long for the average mask
it is a little thick
traps heat too well and doesn't offer good ventilation |
|
| Review: |
although it has it's goods and it's bads, all in all it is a great product from a great company. it is extremely unique and it offers an affordable camoflauge system for your mask that can be put on or taken off your mask in a couple of minutes. |
|
| Conclusion: |
if you play scenario games or play a lot of woods ball, buy this product. it is a great camoflauge system that is very affordable. it is easy to clean the paint out of it and it is very durable. try to keep from having the goggleflauge held in the same position for a lonf time unless you want the chin piece to curl under your mask. |
