-Cheap (20$)
-Offers pretty good protection
-Comfortable
-OK Anti-Fog
-Very good luck for me after about 15 different paintball games I have not been hit once in the mask, but after using my friends Scott I got hit in like 2 secs
-Made by a good company
Weaknesses:
-The thing fogs pretty badly for me(Even when sitting still it fogs)
-Dont use it just when it's about to get dark (It will definitely fog)
-Mine has so many scratches on it some parts of the woods you can't even see
Conclusion:
Great Mask for the price, Buy it if where you live is like 70- degrees because It will probably fog at things higher than that, that is if you move a lot.
Moderately good anti-fog.
great value for its price.
comfy once u get used to it.
relatively light enough that u sometimes forget your wearing a mask.
very clear lens if it doesnt fog up.
Weaknesses:
mine fogged up wuite badly this weekend for the first time.
i played ina tropical rainforest climate right after a recent downpour. relativelu high humidity.
it was ok when we were the ones attacking since moving sorta allows air to flow.
but when we went on defensive and i had to stay rooted in one place, it fogged up quite badly. i was also sweating badly bcause of my bad position.
but considering the situation, i really can't blame the mask.
thin foam sorta allows the mask to dig into ur cheekbone at first, but you forget about it after a while.
peripheral vision is not as good as the higher model vforce or dye innovision, but its the same as the higher end scott and JT models.
32* Headcase(similar once I cut off a lot of the excess rubber)
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98 Custom (black), 12 oz aluminum CO2 tank, Psycho Ballistics double trigger, lightened trigger pull, Dye Aluminum 12", GTA rc/rva, Dye Stickys, 32* coiled remote(sometimes) KAPP black gas-thru foregrip, GTA vert. adapter (Black Phantom gravity feed, vert ASA, .45 frame on the way !!!!!)
Strengths:
The price is pretty low for what you get
Hard outside, so unlike the Scott masks it doesn't hurt as much when you get hit, but it should be more flexible
The lens is so easy to clean! Unlike on JT and other masks, the entire front of the lens is exposed, so there is nothing to trap paint, making it very easy to clean, and easier to inspect for cracks
pretty well ventilated, doesn't look like you would eat much paint, but I haven't been hit in it yet
looks cool
Weaknesses:
It could be a little softer
It doesn't fit right next to your skin, if you don't like that, but it also means it's easier for a paintball to go under your mask
not much protection around the ear
Conclusion:
Well, I really can't find anyting bad about this mask to amount to much, especially for the price. Very similar to a JT Spectre, but it can't take the same acessories. I think it's a good mask for a good price. It is worth what you pay for it, so buy it (Unless you have a Spectre or an Invision or something better)
feels good, instead of foam it has another material keeps sweat out.
Weaknesses:
I heard other people say this mask dosnt fog up, but mine has. It does good for the first couple hours but after a couple hours it starts to fog. It dosnt cover as much area as others mask do, but I dont care.
Conclusion:
This mask is worth the money. I still want to find a mask that dosnt fog up. If u just have a JT go ahead and get this mask, it is much better. I think a fan would help. Might want to get it.
JT NVADER-not as comfortable
JT Flex 7 ize-similar
Marker Setup:
Soon to be... 2002 wgp verticle feed cocker with nitrogen, 12v revvy hopper, boomer barrel.
Strengths:
The price-20 bucks
The comfort-great feeling. pads also dont get wet and itchy when you sweat
Looks-Looks pretty cool
Weight- very light
Protects well-doesnt hurt at all when hit
Lenses dont fog up
Weaknesses:
Kind of cheap feeling.
If ur dumb you wont figure out how to get the visor on. (use the supplied o-rings and loop them around the mounts)
No neck protection(but that isnt common in many masks)
Though it doesnt fog much out of the box, no-fog spray is neccecary
Only comes in black.
Conclusion:
Nice mask for the price. It is definately better than the JT nVader (which is about 30 bucks). For a beginner or even semi-competitive player, this is a great choice. Good luck with it.

Review:
THIS MASK IS BANGIN. I got mine for $17 and it was worth every penny. I was really surprised by the fog resistant and crystal clear lense. It is very sleek and comfortable. The only thing is that the foam where your fourhead is gets soaked in sweat, but i guess thats what makes it so good and hard to fog. THIS MASK ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Marker Setup: 98c with a 12" sniper barrel and MP5 style shoulder strap. horizontal zip line fed loader/tubular clip (30 in the clip, 1 in the chamber). Brass Eagle Hauler with an added leg strap for stability and rattle reduction. V-Force Armor mask custom fit for sun and eye glass's.
Strengths:
One of the first things that come to mind with the Armor is it's simplicity. It's very easy to field strip for quick cleaning (some claim they can do it in under 45 seconds, I'll believe it when I see it.). Like most other products you read about, your going to hear the over used statement here as well "It's great for the price!"...blah blah blah, yes it's true here as well, I still get tired of saying it and reading it. heh, Another good thing, it makes a perfect spare mask for you or your newbie friend who may tag along on the next PB venture.
Weaknesses:
One bad thing, and I say this for just about all PB masks, is that they are very uncomfortable for those that wear corrective eyewear (glasses). But the Armor is especially bad. The foam padding around the eyes is very stiff, kinda feels like a gymnasium wrestling mat, very stiff and very uncomfortable. Combine the uncomfortable fit with sweat (usually accompanied with fog, thats another story), and that equals one bad day.
Conclusion:
To put it simply: It's not the best mask in the world and it's not the worst mask in the world. It falls square in the middle of standards, quality and functionability. If it comes with a gun package your getting, great! If not, spend the extra 15-25 bucks and get something by JT. Although I said it falls in the middle, I gave it a 6 because it served me well, so far...(besides, giving anything a 5 isn't saying much)
