Review:
After my first game with this thing ( i got hit in the back of the head by a teammate that game, NO PAIN NO LUMPS! ) i got some JT goggleflauge and applied it and now im ready for ANY woodsball. This has anti- fog lens so you will spend less of your time and money buying fog spray. Some may say, SISSY! , or WUSS!. But ask yourself and your taunters how many lumps are you willing to take before your head starts looking like the center of a tootsie pop? And might I add that this helmet does not make you any hotter. There is like 200 vent slits on this thing that lets all the air flow right in.
Conclusion:
Got too many lumps and hate to buy fog spray? Get this.
Full head protection for us who dont want to end up with a head ake
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
I was walking through walmart looking to get a mask cheap. I saw this one and was like, you know that would be pretty good for speedball. Now I dont know about you, but I dont like getting shot in the back of the head because some sneaky guy passed me by five feet on the field and feels i need a hit in the head. But I decided why not buy it. I took it home and tested it with my friend(We shot at the masks). When I got onto the field it didnt fog up one I couldnt believe it. This thing is so great
Conclusion:
This thing is the best, for like 40 bucks this is great. Full head cover, fog resistent goggles/lens and like so much venting I LOVE IT!
Spyder Xtra
16" Tiller Barrel
32 Degrees Universal Drop Forward

Weaknesses:

The "Anti-Fog" lense do fog
Review:
Well I purchased this mask about a month ago after reading some reviews on here. I had just got my paintball gun and needed a mask, This was pretty much the only mask the store I knew Had and it was for a decent price considering it offered Full Head Protection.
In my first game(it was in winter) it was ok and didn't fog. But later when I actually played and moved around more the damn thing fogged like hell and I was like blind so I had to spray where ever I heard sounds. Also IF you get it to fog you must be sweating, which is not good because the Foam around the goggles is HORRIBLE! It itches and hurts if you are sweating and have played for over an hour.
In all games Ive played I only got shot once in the back of the Head and I was thank-full It had Full Head protection.
I recently Purchased Thermal Lens for the mask but didn't have a chance to play this weekend.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this product if you are just starting or want Full Head coverage.
If you do buy it, you will most likely need to buy Thermal Lens.
Its a good product but it does fog and the foam itches if you sweat.
You will later realize that you wont get shot in the back of the head that much.
This mask is great because of the coverage. The original lense should be replaced with a thermal lense. No problems since I bought the thermal lense for just $20 extra bucks. Its nice not to have to worry about getting shot in the back of the head. Im sure that wouldnt feel to good.
Conclusion:
Id recommend this, but you need to buy a thermal lense.
Smart Parts Ion, VL Evo II Loader... Spyder Victor II with a 14"Teardrop Barrel
Strengths:
-Very good protection
-Visor works well
Weaknesses:
-Fogs Constantly
-Paint smears on the lense when whiped off
-Uncomfortable
Review:
-These goggles protect the back of your head very well.
-The visor works very well to block the sun out.
-Paint will smear on the lense easily
-Fogs constantly
-The foam inside the mask hurts my face and leave a huge red circle from the eyebrows around to my nose.
-It's kind of uncomfortable at times
It's basicly a big fat plastic skullcase that was built to protect players from being shot in the back of the head.
Conclusion:
I wouldn't recommend this to many players. I would rather have a mask that is built to prevent fogging and go without protecting the back of my head.

Review:
For the price its a pretty good mask. Anti-fog and full solid protection. It feels good to know that you can get hit in the back of the head and not hurt. Hey, it even comes with some JT flames stickers to put on them... if you wanna look flashy. I perfer to stay hidden rather than give my position away cuz of flames on my mask.

If your looking for some regular goggles to go rec ballin' then these are the ones to get.

Review:
This was my first mask that i really like and it was really good when i play night games and when i play woods the head protection really helped when i hit all of those branch's when i was running i really like it ever if it fogged up all the time
Conclusion:
i ll give it a 10 because it save me from Major brain injuries
Fogs up
Adds extra height to your head
Uncomfortable foam
Paint won't bounce
Review:
I got this mask when i got my Tippmann. The first time i used the mask I was fairly happy with it. It doesn't heat up too bad and I could hear OK...
After a handful of uses I noticed that the foam is already wearing out.
You can't really pop out of bunkers very well because it adds and extra inch or so on your head.
It doesn't fog up too bad but it can skrew you over unless you buy a thermal lense.
They didn't make the mask out of very soft materials, its hard plastic...I don't get that one.
On the good side...
The mask didn't cost very much compared to other masks.
It isn't very heavy so it doesn't weigh down on your head.
It covers your whole head!!!
Its great for woodsball...
Not so great for airball...
Conclusion:
If you play woodsball or just with friends or whatever along those lines, this is a good mask...not great, good.
I'll give it a "C"

JT Elite Alpha
In my opinion the Elite Alpha is an all around better mask.
Marker Setup:
Trilogy Competition Autococker
Ricochet Rhino
Pure Energy 12 oz on/off
16" JJ Ceramic Barrell
Strengths:
Protects your whole head
Feels cool
Pretty Light when its on your head
Weaknesses:
Can fog up because there isn't much ventilation.
Review:
I used this mask for about a year and it never really gave me any problems.
It has fogged a little bit but that was when I was playing in the winter.
In the summer when I was playing in the bush it is unbeatable. There is no better mask for woodsball. You hardly even know you have it on sometimes. The only problem was that it doesn't keep you cool. You tend to heat up in it on those warm day.
But It worked for me.
Conclusion:
I give this mask a 8 out of 10.
I don't recommend it for speedball but its the best you can get for woodsball.
Piranha Ext Pro 2k3- uped spring set, remote coil, and 16in J&J Ceramic Barrel
Strengths:
Full protection
Cheap
Easy to rest head
Weaknesses:
Prone to fog
Foam not too comfy
Review:
Ok this mask you can get anywhere and there is a reason why. This is great! Ive never been hit in the head with out this mask and i dont want to. Why not protect your head as best you can you only got one! This is a good price to 30 bucks or less and your protected. The problem i run into is the fog up. No biggie just spray in some anti-fog and ull be all set. The foam on the goggle is cheap and not to comfortible but it realy doesnt bother me. I
Conclusion:
This is a nice mask i give it a 9 cuz 10 u gotta have the anti foged lenses. Thats my only issue with this mask. Buy this youll be glad u did.
