A-5 with flatline, egrip, T-6 stock, 20 oz CO2 coil/remote BSA 42mm red dot sight
Strengths:
Comfy
Allows Me To Aim With My Sight
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
When I first tried it on it was so light. compared to my Nvader it was a feather. The foam was unimaginably comfortable compared to my X-ray and my Nvader. The Nvader sucked, it was heavy and uncomfortable. The flexible part of the mask allowed me to get my face close to my gun and AIM for the first time with my iron sights and my dot sight. Changing the lense is easy once you get used to it. I think it is a great mask.
This is a very lightweight mask with good vision and easy to just flip on .
Weaknesses:
Not as much protection as other masks
Review:
I purchased my Flex 7 when I first started paintballing last year.. I liked the mask and never had any complaints except it did fog up on occasion even with the thermal lens. I decided this year to purchase a Dye Invision.. They have a little better vision out of them than the JT, But I soon learned that they were too heavy, hard to put on and no better. So I sold it , bought a fan and went back to the JT Flex 7.
Conclusion:
This is a great light weight mask as long as you dont mind a little less protection than other masks.

Weaknesses:
Lenses are hard to take out
Review:
First of all, this is the most comfortable mask I've ever worn. The mask has foam around the ears, this makes it more comfortable to me at least. My friend got a couple of bounces off of the bottom of the mask. My old mask used to fog up alot, but this mask has only fogged up once on me, But it was a rainy humid day so I can understand why. I got a vortex fan II and goggleskinz on my mask, the goggleskinz make your mask look even better than it already does and adds a bit of intimidation to your new look.
Conclusion:
This is the best mask I have ever tried. It's really comfortable and the price isin't that bad either. I would recommend to everyone. My friend tried mine and liked it better than his mask and bought this one.

I have used this great product from JT for 3 months now and it is excellent its never slips and the image clarity is extremely clear , the foam is extremely comfortable and the flex part works great except for the chin slap, some peeps say it muffles your voice but not for me ( but maybe its because i yell at the top of my lungs at people on the field ;) ) and changing the lenses ive tried and its a B. I. T. C. H, and my lenses scratched real easy.
Conclusion:
Overall is a tremendous mask and I love it. You should go buy one

Review:
This a really good product. It does whati its suppose to do. Removing and installing lense is a pain. i have bledd more that once tring to install lenses. Anti fog lenese do exactly what they are supposed to do.you also remove the visor if ou dont like it
Conclusion:
You need a mask to play. Might as well get this one. you can even pick the color you want.
The Flex & is possibly the best mask in the world to me. I bought this mask and played some rec ball. Some dude who had a cocker shot at my mask and the balls bounced right off, and i lit the guy up. This mask has never fogged up on me, and has excellent visibility. Plus, i also bought this mask partly because Dynasty uses it, so hey, use the products the best team uses.
Fit and comfort
Can wear glasses with it without pressure
Price, $49
Weaknesses:
Came with a slightly misaligned visor. Relocated where it was mounted (very easy).
Review:
What a comfortable mask so far. Have not field tested it but I can tell it is top notch product. I was worried I'd not be able to wear my glasses with it after using a JT Alpha mask this weekend. The Alpha pushed on my glasses forcing them up or down or just plain into my nose. The JT Flex 7 fit so well I can hardly feel them. Can't wait to see how they do with fog. I'll let you know.
Conclusion:
Though I have not yet played a game with it I'm very happy with the mask so far. Very comfortable and great price.

Strengths:
Bounces off the bottom part. comfortable, look pretty cool.
Weaknesses:
Changing the lens
Review:
This mask is nice, it looks cool, it is safe, it is durable, and pretty cheap. I paid $40 for mine new. The only down side to this mask is that changing lenses is kind of a pain in the butt. Not nearly as easy as the V-Force masks. That isn't a big deal though. Usually when you are changing lenses, you aren't in that big of a hurry anyways and it is not like it is impossible it is just the fact that it take some time and I am an impatient person.
Conclusion:
This is a great mask and if you don't want to shell out the extra cash for say a profiler than I would say get it. I have one and I love it.
This is the best mask I've had. The pros outweigh the cons, by far. First, the cons... the ear foam easily catches on your ear when placing it on. It takes two seconds to adjust the mask to a comfortable postion, and it's nitpicking, but it happens every time I put it on, so I thought I'd mention it. The mirrored colored lenses also scratch easy. Nothing like a crazy gouge, but it does manage to pick up little noticable scratches in the lense... these are especially notable when looking towards the sun. Keep the goggles in the bag when not in use, and these will be kept to a minimum. Cut off the chin strap... it's just annoying, and the main strap keeps it tight enough you don't need the chin strap. When yelling, it does tend to muffle it a bit, but if it gets too bad, you can always 'fold' the flex part up (don't count on non-breaks around the mouth, then...), and the muffle disappears
The pros? It is, without a doubt, the most comfortable mask. Period. I've borrowed friends' masks who rave about theirs, but nothing compares... I don't really sweat a ton, but the foam doesn't seem to be too bad in that area. Plus, I feel if it doesn't soak it up, then it'll drip down into the main part of the goggle onto the lense, and dripping sweat is as annoying as fog.
I've been shot in the mouth/lower cheek area... direct hits do bounce more often than not. The bounce occurs more in the mouth area rather than up near the cheek area where it reattaches to the harder plastic part of the mask (I've read reviews where people want the flex part to be the whole mask, but that simply wouldn't work... if bone - i.e., your hard skull- was right behind it, then it wouldn't bounce, it'd just break... the flex works because it's flexible, and there is space behind it...). Anyways, even some bounces are better than none, and I know that mouth/cheek hits are sort of rare at best, but I'll take a mask that'll extend just one game for a bit over one that broke the ball.
I've had problems with masks (usually the cheaper ones) where the main strap tends to stretch out. The Flex-7's strap has 'waves' of almost glue running on the inside... This aids in comfort, and I think keeps the weaving on the strap tight rather than not.
The thermal lenses I've never, ever had a problem with (although I would expect this... and would be very pissed if they fog). I've scratched the color one slightly, but nothing terrible that can't be dealt with... especially on a sunny day with snow on the ground. Both are extremely strong, and never had a problem with breaking them. Changing the lenses in and out is a royal pain in the ass (I also play golf, and using little wood tees to work the tabs in and out of the rubber works well enough). Don't expect to be changing them in and out during the day... find out the weather, and change them the night before. It's hell on the fingers the first few times, but the tab slots loosen up slighty after changing them a few times.
Conclusion:
I recommend this mask to anyone with some extra cash and wanting a great mask... I've been nitpicking with the cons, but the comfort and flexibility make this mask's pros by far outwiegh the cons. Buy it if you got the cash... use the internet... at stores these run full price, but you can find them cheap if you look at various sites....

Review:
I ordered these a while back and I have loved them ever since. I switched from a cheap $18 V-Force Armour to these goggles and the comparison is quite simple; these are great goggles for the price. The change in periferal vision from these googles is amazing. I can now see people at the very edge of my regualr vision with these goggles on. With my old Armour, I had to turn my head. For the most important part of these goggles, they have never fogged up on me. After using a pair of single lensed goggles, I feel like i had not seen before I used these. I have played through mist, rain, and fog without a problem many times because these goggles never fog up. The only thing that I do not particualry like about these goggles is that they are rather tight on my head, which is small to begin with. On the back part of the sides of the goggles, particulary around the ears, space is tight and your ears may get cramped, but it is easy to get used ot and you will probable not even notice it.
