| Review: |
I like this mask, I love the looks and the style of this mask and the feeling of protection, when you wear it it feels like you could be shot in the face with a paintball and be ok. The lack of neck protection is the only real downside, but i wear a neckguard anyway so i figure i should be alright. Excellent perhipheral vision, I belive it to be about 280 degrees. This is a good mask, don't mind the people who say that it fogs, cause thats never happened to me in my three years of paintball. |
|
| Conclusion: |
There is no reason to dislike this mask. If you have it and like rock on. Buying this mask is a good idea, it s reliable and good, you should watch for the lack of neck protection though. |

Hey, It came with my gun so I didn't have to buy another one |

| Weaknesses: |
Doesn't protect my neck at all (Luckily I am to good to get hit) |
|
| Review: |
I like the style, and also it has a great range of view. This mask has NEVER fogged up on me! One day I decided to buy an expensive........"Better".........mask, as soon as I put it on and hit the field it fogged up on me so I sold it to a friend and got my trusty old mask and put it on. A lot of people say it cuts them and isn't very comfortable, well if you ware a hat or something it won't do that. But after about 3 years of using this mask it will start to fog up on you. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I really like this mask with the exception of neck protection. I personally wouldn't buy this mask if it were sold separately. Just because I like this mask doesn't mean I will always keep it, In fact I am looking for another mask right now with more neck protection, but overall It was a good starter mask |

| Review: |
I have only seen one mask worse than this, and it came free with a BE marauder. I got this mask with a spyder compact when i wuz a noob and i replaced it right away. Its hard, small, and ripped ur skin apart. It doesnt have a visor, and it doesn't stay on too well. Its thermal, but it sure as hell doesnt work. It fogs so bad you cant see the end of your barrel. Worst mask ever spawned. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy a Flex-7, not this. This mask sucks, and don't let a noob who hasn't tryed a mask tell u otherwise. |

| Strengths: |
Good looks. Good field of vision. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The first time we played it was about 60 degrees and raining earlier that day so the humidity was very high. It fogged up so bad there was no way I could ever see my opponents in the woods. They claim it will never fog? Yeah right. Plus there was a sharp edge on the part that goes over your ears so my ear was cut and bleeding after the first game. My friends with JT masks had no fogging problems whatsoever. This mask sucks for the price you pay. Get a JT thermal. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy a JT. |

| Review: |
My little brother got this mask with his Spyder Imagine S. It was hard to tighten and the goggles were shaped weird. After a while, his mask lining started to fall off until it finally went out. As Jamie once said "This thing feels like a porcupine!" Don't ever buy this mask because it will fall apart on you. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy a Flex 7 |

| Review: |
Okay when i bought a spider this mask also came with the gun. I think i wore it once. This mask is really uncomfortable it hurts the side of ur head and every where else on your head. Now when you buy a mask your main concern should be safety. This is the most unsafe mask i have ever seen! From 50 feet away i shot this mask that was on a log and it puts a hole right through the mask! My gun is croned at 28. Sense i already destroyed this mask i decide to use it as my new target. I use lees than a hopper on this mask and i have shot off the jaw part from the goggles. And the worse part was that I PUT A FEW HOLES THROUGH THE LENS. This mask was immediately tossed. After this ordeal my brother's friend gets a Spider for his birthday and from 100' away i cracked his mask lens. These are the worst ever! |
|
| Conclusion: |
DO NOT BUY if you do get this mask emidiatly get a new one. You are better of using shop glasses. Now for those of you who this review upsets you get over it. Because i know some one is going to dispute this. So do what you want but this is the cold hard facts. I would give this a -100 if I could. |

| Review: |
If you just take a look at this mask and do not use it then your impression may be that it isn't that bad of a mask but if you do use it, you will find that it is somewhat of a cheap mask. It does protect you but it fogs up a lot and it is not that comfortable on your head
If you do wear a hat or bandana on your head then put on your mask it feels alright but just the the head it isnt a comforable mask. The only reason i would ever get this mask again would be when they modify it. Anit-fog lens. More padding on the inside and maybe a visor. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If this is the only mask you can get than get it but if you have other choices take them please and don't be an unsatisfied customer like i was.Jt proteus would be an excellent choice, a bit pricey but good. |

| Review: |
This mask works really well for entry level. I've used it twice and the first time it never fogged until the very end a tiny bit of fog formed on the top. It was inside the thermal so I couldn't wipe it off. The second time I used it I just tightened the mask a bit and it worked perfectly. Not even a hint of fog. When you put this on the plastic that is cut to hold the strap sticks out and pokes your head and ears. The strap also slips a lot down the back of my head so the mask goes loose. If you just wear a hat backwards this will fix both problems. The visor of the hat holds the strap up and also protects your neck. Along with padding your head so you can't even feel the sharp plastic. This mask has a fairly low profile and is small. It doesn't give much neck protection though. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I think this is a nice mask and worth your money. Just remember to wear a hat under it. The only bad thing I can think of is it has no mask but I play indoors so I don't think that matters for me. |

| Review: |
I do not like this mask. It's a cheap version of the Ravan one. The face piece is hard Plastic. Doesn't flex at all. That's why it hurts your ears. It doen't seem to fit right. Not a good fit. I'll stick with my Scott Stike mask. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Sucks. It's a hand me down for the kids when they watch me practice |
