| Review: |
This was and still is my first mask for paintballing. Although the picture up there they have is black mine is white with red revo lenses which looks ultra sweet. But back to the review. This mask was very comfortable. You could adjust the strap so that your face won't be tight in it but it wouldn't shake around. It's also really wasy to clean. After playing I would go home, pop out the lenses soak them under water for like 10 minutes then get some rubber gloves and slide them back in the mask. The only weakness I see is that the mask is too flexible, if you get hit in the mask the ball bounces off or hits your face, but that hasn't happened yet. |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all this is an excellent product for all levels of play and I highly recomend that everyone get this mask. So I give this mask a perfect 10. |

| Review: |
I don't even need this mask but i like the way it looks & for $20 it wasn't a bad deal.
This has a smaller profile than all the other masks i've got yet still covers enough. Flexibility is a plus and the ENTIRE mask is flexible (except the lens, obviously). The store i ordered it from gave a lens color option at no extra charge.
However, the flexibility is more of a curse than a blessing. When i get direct hits on the cheek or mouth areas, the paintball slaps the mask against my face and the paint still breaks. The only bounces i've gotten were directly on the nose area and the forehead, where the mask doesn't flex as much.
I originally ordered a Diablo Skull, since i noticed it's the same as the Gameface Skull (what i originally wanted but couldn't find). Then i got this in the mail. The jewel at the top says "Sheridan" & the package label says "Skul" so that's a bit confusing. But it's the same, regardless. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It was cheap when i got it and available in most places (as a Game Face/Diablo Skull) but now you can only get them straight from Game Face or Amazon but they're $30-45.
Nice mask - i like the feel & fit of it. |

| Review: |
This feels so much better than my old JT Spectra mask. It doesn't come w/a visor or neck guard like the newer masks have, but that doesn' matter to me because I wear a cap and a neck protector anyways.
The 262 degree field vision isn't as bad as it may seem. Its just that many mask out there have better field vision.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Great Mask, I never had any problems with it. I wish they still made it. |

|
| Strengths: |
Thermal lens, adequate face coverage, cool venting, no fogging, mean look. This is the very same mask made by Airtech Industries called the Skull. I bought mine for $ 29.00 from Dic's sporting Goods. The material is soft and pliable, making it one of the most comfortable masks I have used. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Nothing.... this mask is comfortable, cool, does not fog, looks great, and makes a statement on the field that you are willing to step outside the norm and wear a mask that is a rareity. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy one. I don't see many of them on the field. Make a statement, wear a Skul or Prowler. |

Sheridan XTS Nemesis - original equipment out of package; getting a new barrell soon; chops a little too much |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
it has a great field of view. wraps around your head and fits nicley. covers a lot of skin. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
no visor, needs a thermal lense(fogs too much), and the padding gets a little loose after a while; depends on how much you use it though. |
|
| Conclusion: |
its a good mask for a reasonable price; i'd recomend it to newbies; but get a thermal lense! and if you use it a lot then be prepaired to get some more padding. i hate that 100 word thing; have said all i want to and i still needed 21 more words go figure. |

| Strengths: |
This mask is great. Doesn't fog. Very comfortable. Light weight. Easy to clean. Great field of vision. I would recommend this mask to anyone, beginner or advanced in playing experience. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Nothing. This mask is the best I have used so far. the only bad thing is that it doesn't have much neck protection. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great mask, great price. I have been using mine for months now and I haven't had any problems with it. Anyone who says otherwise, should just go wear their JT mask like the rest of the players out there. Get this mask, you will not regret it!!! |
