Product Availability
The VForce Vantage Mask is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used. Check out the Places to Buy links below for places to purchase it new.
Got this mask and opened it up looked pretty good but it took me forever and a pliers to get the little rubber o rings attached for the visor. Its comfy but its field of vision isn't the greatest you can see the sides pretty easy.
This thing is a cinch to clean its so simple and involves no prying or pulling. The anti fog lens is great too.
Conclusion:
Over all it is a great mask for the money, one of the best, but its field of vision is lacking some what, so that's why I'm giving it a 9 out of 10.

Review:
This mask is one of the nicest masks I have seen for the money. It is very comfortable, made of a very "bouncable" material, won't fog no matter how hard you try, great FOV and of course the colors. I have the green one. It is more of an olive and blends well with my camo.
Conclusion:
Awesome mask. If you need to get rid of your fogging goggles, this is the one to get. Cheap, comfortable, reliable and clear. What else could you ask for!
Great price
Great fit
Fits my glasses
Has not fogged yet!!!!!!
Weaknesses:
None so far!
Review:
I am very empressed with the fit and that it fits over my glasses. this is a great product for the money. I wore this goggle while mowing my grass in 78 degree heat and not once did it fog that is a test for any goggle.This goggle set is well worth the money.
Conclusion:
If you are like me a person who has to watch how much he spends and wears glasses but does not not want to look like a fool on the field this is the goggle for you.

Review:
I was very impressed with these goggles. I originally had a set of Java V-Type gogs that came in a package with my gun. Literally minutes into playing with them they began to fog up like crazy and any baller knows that you're no good if you can't see anything. I went to a local shop and bought these after my friend recommended a set of V-Force goggles. I think I paid around $40 and have never been disappointed with them. The mask hasn't fogged once since I've used it and fits well. The face padding is very comfortable and doesn't go completely around which makes for a better fit when wearing glasses. The mask is hard plastic so it offers pretty good face protection and decent ventilation. It's also very easy to take apart and clean, and all of the step by step instructions are in the manual. The only complaint I would say is that these goggles have a more narrow field of sight than the Profilers, but for about half the price I was willing to deal with that.
Conclusion:
The Vantage is a great mask. It's affordable and performs well. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't want their mask to fog and doesn't want to pay $100 for high end goggles.

Strengths:
Comfortable, Stays on, Looks
Weaknesses:
Fogs if you don't spray
Review:
It's a great mask, I got mine from my friend for 3 dollars. Unbelievably good deal. Doesn't usually fog if you remember to spray, and once you get the hang of it, easy to detatch the lens to clean or whatnot. I would get it if I found a good deal if I were you, it is a decent mask.

Strengths:

Weaknesses:
A little noobish look
peripheral vision isn't the best
Review:
As I put on the mask I was VERY impressed on how comfortable it was. It was as comfortable if not more than the proflex! The foam is really high quality too. People have been compaining on the visibility of the lense, but it only cuts off just a little of your periphial vision so it's not bad and for $25 dollars it's quite good. It also looks like a profiler from far away too ; ) I tryed to fog the mask with 5 minutes of hard breathing and it didn't fog.
Conclusion:
Well even with the price tag of $25 I consider this a high -end mask. It's has all the features that of the $70+ masks that doesn't fade away after the first time. Since there are some minor things about it and the only thing that is perfect is God I give this a nine.

Review:
Great mask, very comfortable with great field of vison. Just takes seconds to change the lenes and less to change the strap. Very flexable so paintballs have a better chance to bounce. Comes in many colors to match you gear. The only Mask better is the profiler and this is the next best thing with a lot smaller price tag.
Conclusion:
Cant beat this mask for the price and the comfort.
Comfy
Paintballs just dont seem to pop on it
Anti fog
Easy to aim with
Weaknesses:
No neck protection really
Review:
Wow ok this came in a package with my gun. i thought it would suck but to my suprise its a very good mask for woodsball. when im wearing it a can see everythign but i would sudgest wearing a ski hat or something cause the paintballs never pop on the mask for me, they roll up and explode on my head. as for neck protection, wear some sorta nect protector cause this gives u nothing really. what else can i say, o it only costd 30$ canadian wich is pretty cheap compared to the 120$ maskes out there.
The mask is absolutely fantastic. You can actually get it at a lot of pro-shops for about 20 bucks less than the suggested price. The rubber build makes it very durable, and the plastic portions are well done. I have yet to fog up even when its wet and hot and humid, the most foggy situation ever. It covers a lot of your head without being bulky and uncomfortable. The only issue I had was that since the goggles are so right to your face it makes for a smaller opening inside of the mask to ahve to clean around but really its only a problem if you're super lazy.
Conclusion:
All in all I'm ultra pleased with what I got for the money and probably still would be ultra pleased if I had had to pay double what I did, or more.

Review:
Positively, the rubber body of this mask is amazing. Its comfortable, you can hear well in it, it bounces balls well, and provides fairly good protection. The hearing part, however, is kind of bittersweet. If you get shot there, it hurts your ear like crazy. The vents there seem to be big enough for small bits of the shell to fly in when the ball breaks and hit your ear. My ear hurt for 3 days after I got shot there. Luckily, that's the only time I've taken a shot there. The lens is really easy to take out once you figure out how to do it. The band around the back comes off easily and is very easy to adjust.
Negatively, my only huge concern is the fogging. I can't play 10 minutes before this thing is fogged completely around the sides and I'm left with a tiny FOV, which is already kind of restricted. I have to sit there and slow my breathing until the fog slowly starts to dissipate. I've tried putting spit in it to warm the lens so the temperture difference is smaller, but that didn't help. I tried using an anti-fogging solution, but that didn't help either. I think you would need to get a new good thermal lens, or that sticky appliable lens that makes a single lens act like a thermal. Also, the fogging may be from my excessive sweating(I've got long hair that makes me sweat early and often) and the fact that nothing in the mask is there to soak up the sweat(no foam around the eyes, but I find that to be quite comfortable). As I already stated, my FOV seems to be a bit smaller than a couple of my friend's masks, but it isn't really a huge deal. Finally, this mask leaves my throat a little exposed. Not a whole lot, but I could definantly be hit there.
Conclusion:
Though I seem to have written more negatives than positives, I still find myself loving this mask. It's hard to argue with a decent mask that costs $50.
