| Review: |
Not much to really go on about when it comes to lenses. I have come across many in my days. Some have functioned as promised and others have been a pain in the neck. It's true what they say. You do get what you pay for.
First, thing I noticed out the box was how damn clear the lens was. Now I know all lenses come clear. That isn't what I am talking about. I am talking about the purity of the clear on the outside of the lens. It wasn't smudged, scratched, or warped in an fashion.
Second, was the actual clarity of sight when looking through them, while at the same time not allowing glare to blind you while looking down field, or into a light source like so many other lenses do. I was very impressed with the fact that the lens provided some tint while play. No mare squinting in the sun, while trying to find my opponent down field. Also not once during my use of these lens, no matter what color, have I had them to even begin to fog on me. That alone was worth the money!
Third, was something that drove me up the damn walls at my house. Installation was a pain. My thumbs hurt from all the pushing and stabbing on the lens tabs. The instructions say just a little water, and you are ready to go when installation begins. Yet I found myself wishing for the strength of ten Morgan Freemans when trying to get them in. Allow me to give you a small trick that I use to this day. Use just a small amount of water like the instructions say, but add just a small drop of dish washing detergent to help slid the lens on! If you need to change lens while out on the field in the set-up area, you will need a little time. Dye didn't make this as easy a task as it should have been.
Lastly, the overall cool factor. To me, and maybe a few others out there these lens look damn good. Plenty of colors to choose from, so you don't have to look, and feel like every other Joe out there with a pair. The mirrored is my personal favorite!
|
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are looking for a durable, non fogging product that at the same time can look as good as it functions then you have found it. This is as close to perfect that it wil get when it comes to a lens. |

| Review: |
After i put these in i went and played in the sun and snow, and let me tell you it was bright! I had no problem with the sun. If you play indoors i would not recamend them because if it is not well lite then its a pain. They look aswome when someone else is wearing them because all you can see is your own reflection. Now i want to get my hands on those high def lense and see if their any good. The price isnt really bad for the product. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you play woodsball or out door speed then buy them but if you play at night then get different ones, or bring a extra lense. |

I've heard they're expensive,but I got mine from a tourney for $20 |

| Review: |
These lenses are awesome. They shade you from the bright sunlight,which can be a hassel depending on your angle.They are IMHO much easier to clean than the stock lense. They're also cool looking.
The only real problems I've heard about them is that they are expensive,I got mine from Nick Shows at a tourney for only 20 bucks so I thought it was a steal.
Next I've heard many people complain about how hard it is to insert new lenses.The simple and easy way to install them is to take like a small dab of dish detergent on your fingers and lube up every tab on the sucker. With minimul force the tabs slide right in. It took me longer to remove the lense then it did to reinsert them.
The whole process took about 4 minutes.Easy |
|
| Conclusion: |
Graet looking addition to an allready great mask. Great sun protection and much easier to clean. Awesome buy get a pair you wont regret it. |

| Review: |
These are great lenses there thermal, shaded and have a coating on them to help paint kind of slide right of the lenses. The only problem i had with them is trying to get them into the mask. I faught with them for about 2 hours and failed. I had to take them to the store were i bought them to get them put in and he still had to fight to get them in. but that is reasuring to me to know that the lenses wernt going to fall out! |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great buy its only 30 dollars and it will never fog up and you can take the visor off and not worry about the sun in your eyes(and you look really cool). |

| Review: |
If you have the invision system this is a must....no other lense is better....this is a MUST...if your thinking about getting this, think no more it will be the best thing you upgrade on your mask! The price is nothing to be concerned about either. Very very cheap |
|

GREAT MUST GET for invision system |
