| Review: |
Well, I've used the Amber, Smoke, Mirror and clear lenses. I like the amber for cloudy days as it tends to bring out detail a little more (like with Ski goggles). I prefer the mirror over the smoke for playing in the sun, since I think it looks a little cooler. Otherwise, these lenses are basically the same as the stock clear lens, which makes them excellent. I've also put Lens Flyz on these lenses by cutting the sticker into two parts with a ragged cut (contact me if you want a picture) to cut add camoflauge and to cut down on sunlight. It's a lot of work to do so, and they only last about a season, however, so I've stopped doing that. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Personally, I like having a variety of lenses for a variety of situations, especially since with V-Force masks it takes literally 10 seconds to change your lens out. |

I've had replacement lenses for a Dye Invision, Vforce Shield/Vantage and for assorted JT goggles (nVader, Proteus, Flex, etc.). The invision replacement lenses are really the only ones that compare to the mirrored lenses for the Profiler. |
|
| Marker Setup: |
I shoot a 2K5'd GZ, Excalibur, FL Viking, Texas Storm, Ripper, Ripper 2 and Ripper 3 Intimidators. I run a Halo or an Empire Reloader B (and now a Pulse) with a PMI Pure Energy or Crossfire Tank. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Easy to replace, reduce glare, relatively cheap. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
They do scratch, can't clean the inside. |
|
| Review: |
I've used many masks and replacement lenses over the years. I've stuck with the Profiler for the last 3 or so years now due to it's quality and durability. I switched to the mirror lenses in 2004/2005 due to the glare reduction that they provide. I've been very impressed with the product overall.
While they do scratch over time, they're no more prone to it than any other lens on the market. I play every weekend and these lenses have lasted several months in many cases. They are incredibly good and keeping the glare down (about the same as the Dye Invision replacement lenses) and are easy to install (unlike the Invision or Proteus lenses).
Cleaning the outside of the lens is straightforward. It's best done with a bit of water (spray bottle) or goggle cleaner and a microfiber cloth to prevent scratching. In a pinch I use a soft cloth with no ill effects. The only issue is the inside of the lens. The lenses aren't true thermal lenses which are double paned. These have a thermal treating on the inside of the lens that is incredibly good at preventing fogging. However, if you wipe the inside of the lens you're likely to tear away at that coating, which in turn enables it to fog. The best remedy is to dip the lens in water and let it air dry. This in turn will minimize damage to the coating and clean the lens. Still though, the ease with which you can take the lens off for cleaning makes for an easy clean up. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Fantastic aftermarket lens. The cost isn't too pricey (compared to similar lenses for other masks). Replacement is easy and the benefits such as reduced glare are amazing. |

| Review: |
I bought these lenses in mirror blue for my Profiler, it looks very nice on it, and it is different shades of blue/purple at different angles and how the light hits it. it is very nice though. i llike these lenses alot, and plan to keep mirror lenses like these if needed so. Also work like sunglasses, great for playin without getting blinded. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get them if you are feeling like it, or need new lenses, great product. Rember: take care of them, but u should with any lense anyways. |

| Review: |
I purchased the smoked mirrored lens. It looks pretty damn sweet. (Too bad I scratched it the first day!)
Strengths:
Easy to clean,
Good quality.
Not TOO expensive ($40 CND)
Weaknesses:
Okay, well, just like any other lens, it scratches.
It tends to stain if you don't clean it ASAP,
Not SO cheap ($40 CND) =P |
|
| Conclusion: |
I Like it, I shall give it a mighty 9 out of 10. |

| Review: |
Well, I just bought the Gold Mirror Lense for my Profiler that I have used for god knows how long, but it is still holding up. I felt like getting the lense, since my old one was oh so scratched up, and I could hardly see through it anymore! So I bought these lenses, played with them yesterday for the first time, and was completely impressed!!
These lenses reduces glare, never fog up (trust me, I breathed as I hard as I could, and it didn't fog up!) and look great!!
Since I just bought the lense, and am brand new to them, I was kinda scared, when I smudged it, and paint got on it, since it turned a purplish color, but as soon as I wiped it off with a clean microfiber cloth and windex, bam! it was all gone.
If you are looking into buying a new lense for your profiler and or grill, get it! Trust me, you will be definetely happy that you bought this product for sure, and it makes you look oh so much more badass out on the field, haha, people were even more intimidated by me. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I spent 30 dollars on these lenses, and they are amazing! Jesus, you have to get them, if you have profilers or grills, it will be the best 30 dollars you spent on paintball in your life! Get them! |

| Review: |
I first bought this mask as a replacement for the X ray i had, the lense on it was very scratched and i couldnt get a new lense, i went to MR and they had cheap masks out, i tried it on and i realised that the Morph lense that was mirrored blue cut out a lot of light but everything was very visible |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very good lense, buy it, it will help you in tight situations |

| Review: |
Allright, after buying this lense from www.punisherspb.com i thought i got the wrong lense, but it wasn't really a mirror lense. I called them up, and they told me its mirrored when its out in the sunlight. So i belived them or w/e, and i took it outside one day and put it in the sun, and the mirro was there. It wasn't a perfect mirror but it was relecting the image way more than stock. These gogles are amazing for sunlight, i played all day in the sun, and it wasn't to bright out or anything because of this lense. the extra tint really helps. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this lense if you play outside becuase when it is sunny oiut, it will help your vision and also look sick as hell. |

| Review: |
I experience this to be true even on my very first paintball game. it was not a point blank shot cuz the man was pretty far away. but right when it hit my lens, a tiny but noticeable circular scratch appeared on my lens. when i purchased at least 2 more replacement lens for my profiler (gold, then smoke) the gold lens was way faster at getting scratched up by paintball shots. was pretty noticeable.
another story to help support this is that my friend working at a PBstore had several complaints guys who bought some chrome lens and had theirs scratched up fast on the first use and demanded their money back. his store couldnt give them a refund but they decided to stop selling the chrome lens
|
|
| Conclusion: |
You should be careful when taking care of this mask when it's just lying around the floor (non-carpet).
and um...
dont get shot |
