STRENGHTS
1]Good Protection - Covers alot of the side, top of the head, and the chin and neck area
2]Good Quality Foam - I've Played with this mask in the rain; water cannot leak through
3]Comfortable - There's nothing in the mask that could itch your face, and the mask stays in place.
4]Dosent Fog - This mask even though it isn't thermal it dosent fog. Just dont put household cleaners on the lense because residue would make it fog easier.
5]Looks Good - This mask looks so good. The design is awesome.
WEAKNESSES
1]Nothing I can think of
Conclusion:
This mask is a very good mask for begginers or intermediate. The mask Looks Good, It Dosent Fog, It has good protection, and it is COMFORTABLE.

Cheap
Look decent
Fairly good protection
Easy to take lenses out
Weaknesses:
Fog unless the weather is really really good.
Review:
Good mask but there not thermal. I will soon be getting thermal goggles because sometimes these fog. They are horrible when it is wet out u cant see anything. But other then that they are good. I like v forces look to. This mask is very affordable and durable. And the lesnses are so easy to take out.
Conclusion:
Good mask but sometimes fogs. Other then that they are fine.
Top foam presses against brow, which makes it uncomfortable, sides of goggles blocks some view.
Review:
Well I bought this along with a Raven goggle system. And I have to say that both of those goggles have their strengths and weaknesses. I use the Raven far more than this, but that is because of comfort reasons. This goggle system is very good. It does not fog on you at all. Ive never had a fogging problem with either these, or the Raven system. Many other goggles such as certain JTUSA ones do fog. I play in Miami weather, which is very humid and hot, tropical moisture filled air. Yet these are the only two goggles that do not fog that I know of that are reasonably priced. If its about $20 bucks, I consider that reasonably priced. I bought these for $18. You really can change the goggles in under five seconds. It makes for very easy cleaning. I want to use it alot more than what I do because mine is green for woodsball, while my Raven is black. Plus my Raven is harder to clean because it doesnt have the quick change. But the Armor very uncomfortable over the eye brows. The closed cell foam is to stiff and doesnt cushion very well. The foam does not irritate your skin though, it is smooth and soft, but doesnt cushion well because of the thiness of the foam. The top foam will press against your brow and bring it a little bit down over your eyes making the brow muscles a bit soar after a while trying to fight the pressure. I found out that by adjusting the strap high on the top of your head instead of lower it feels a bit more comfortable. But I am afraid it might be more prone to slipping over the top of your head and falling off. Another problem I have with it is that it doesnt give a wide field of vision like my Raven. Off to the sides, the lense ends, and the plastic mask frame begins, and there is about a half inch of plastic to the sides of your eyes that blocks vision, a blind spot. If someone were sneaking up on you on these blind spots, your screwed. I can fix the foam problem though, I am going to glue an extra strip of soft foam on to the top foam and that will solve that problem. Leaving only one problem left which cannot be fixed, which is the blind spots to the sides of your eyes. Well the goggles would be perfect for what I am looking for if it wasnt for two things, the uncomfortable top foam, and the blocking of the view to the sides.
Conclusion:
Seeing as how gluing soft foam is an easy fix, and the reasonable price, good quality construction, no fog, good protection, and especially my favorite feature, the quick change lens I would give it a 9 or even a 10. But I shouldnt have to fix anything out of the box on a goggle system, and the blind spots are a bad weakness, so it will be an 8. One other thing, if you get this mask, make sure you dont forget about the o-rings that comes with it. The o-rings are used to hold the visor on. Alot of people forget about them and wonder why the visor doesnt stay on.

Strengths:
Fits nice, doesn't fog up, cheap, and reliable.
Weaknesses:
None so far
Review:
This mask was the mask that I started with and I will probably keep for a while. It's very comfortable and I've never had it fog up. Also, it's only $20 so your getting a very good deal. All of my friends have had some trouble with there masks whether they fog really easily or are very uncomfortable or it's just hard to see, I've not had any of these problems with this mask. Go buy it!!!
Conclusion:
Go get this mask!!! It is worth every penny of that $20.

Review:
-----STRENGTHS-----
-Cheap, considering what you get.
-Protects a good amount of your head.
-Very Sturdy.
-----WEAKNESSES-----
-Fogs up a bit, nothing big though.
-Somewhat smears when you clean off the lenses.
-Mine didn't come with a visor.
I got this mask originally because it was cheap, and I heard it was very good.
When I walked onto the field about two minutes into the game I got shot in the lower part of the mask; I barely felt anything! Of course you feel the jerk of your head, but it was really surprising.
One of the things that ticked me off was there was no visor, but I know a lot of them come with visors, it was probably just who I got it from.
Conclusion:
Get this mask if you don't want something expensive, but if you want something expensive, get something like the JT IZE. This mask is an awesome choice and is better than low end JT's.

Weaknesses:
Almost too small-chin is exposed

Can expose ears
Review:
This mask is pretty good. It normally doesnt fog and you can get hit in the face and it doesnt streak or haze. The mask does protect your face from face shots so it doesnt hurt too bad. It does leave your chin and ears exposed.It is a pretty good mask.

Review:
uhh for goin 6 months wit a walmart mask playin in thick woods this mask felt like god touched me cos it was such an improvement. Its super cheap and good for starters. I like it its green so its good wit camo. hmmm... blah blah blah blah for some reason lense replacements cost as much as the mask so if they break jus get a brand new mask.
Conclusion:
good for starters and intermediate if ur goin PRO get a Vforce ... the expensive 1 that gives u bounces and is avail in many colors... thats all i kno about i dont kno wat its called.

Review:
I have had this mask for a while now and I know will stick with this mask for a long time. First of all, this mask never fogs up. Compared to my other mask, this mask is cheaper, more comfortable to wear, and, of coarse, it doesnt fog up. If you purchase this mask, it will not let you down.
Conclusion:
If you are a beginner, and you want something cheap that will serve you well, this mask is right for you.
