Conclusion:
Great mask, Nice price, Many varieties, Interchangeable Parts, Tight profile, I endorse this product to anyone who likes them personally it is not for me but if you like go ahead and buy it.

Review:
I had a cheap a$$ walmart mask that i had been using for a while and one day got fed up and they only thing they had was this(i wanted a dye I3). I am not disappointed though. This is a very comfortable mask, i can breathe great, and i can see awesome with great peripheral vision. It looks pretty good also. They only problem was taking out the lens to clean was kinda a btich. Now that i have done it a few times it is easier but the first couple were not fun. The lenses are very strong; i was having some gun probs with my other one and i took the barrel off to clean during a game and dropped the gun. When it hit the ground it shot me in the face from about 1 1/2 ft and no scratches on the lens(that made me feel a little better after my friends stopped laughing at me for shooting myself).
Conclusion:
Good mask overall. Most of my friends are switching to these or the Dye I3's. It gets a 9 cause of the lens changing.
Rating:
9 out of 10

I was in the market for a new mask this year. I had a few on my mind. I was a little erie of the Flex 8 at first, mainly because my only experience with JT was my Proteus. But then I got this mask for my B-day, and now I am happy that I did. The mask fits my head/face very well. I have noticed my earlobe hanging out a couple of times but oh well. After wearing my last mask, this one makes me feel like I have nothing on at all. The foam is a little harder, but I have found that it is actually more comfortable the longer you wear it. I have also read a lot of people saying that they have discomfort in the ear area, I found this to be untrue for me. I did get shot in the mask during a game and it did't seem to bobble my head around like my old mask. The lense was a little hard to clean off (even with my Shocktech rag) and I never did get it all the way clean. The smudges left didn't effect me at all though and I barely noticed them.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for a new mask look no further.
Comfort, light weight, vision area, nice looking you can have it all with this mask.
Not as flexible as i would have liked .
Looks might not appeal to everyone.
Review:
Okay i got this mask because i totally hated my invision and the vents got pushed back another two weeks and i just couldnt wait that long so i whent with this. First impressions much better vision than my invision. The bottom isnt as flexible as i would have liked but the vents more than make up for it. In a game these perform better than anything ive used i do not regret my purchase at all
Conclusion:
This is a solid product i would recommend this to anyone looking for a new mask.
Some might think that this mask is ugly, but it isn't in person. It is the most comfortable mask I've ever warn, it has a great field of vision, and it has a very tight profile. It isn't a wide mask like the proflex is. It's fairly inexpensive, and seems to be durable. It has sufficient protection along the jawline, so you won't get many neck shots.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for a new mask, look no further. Buy a flex-8. They're nicer looking in person than they are in magazine ads.

Review:
OK i was sitting in the paintball shop with money to burn and needing a new mask i spent the 75.00 and got the new flex 8. This is honestly the best mask i have ever worn. It is so light and comfortable, it's insane. But what do you expect with JT on the side.
I used this today in practice at PEV's and wow. thier great. it's really worth the 75.00 and thay didn't for up once. We'll see how they do in the summer in Ohio but i would deffinatly reccomend these.
Conclusion:
Buy em thier a great goggle system for the price as compaired to Dye IR3's and the Vforce Prolfier.

Review:
well i played with this mask last weekend and ive got to say its a good looking mask. The mask was very comfortable and had a good profile. it did although leave my earlobes exposed even though i have a pretty small head, but no big deal. But what i really disliked about this mask was the difficulty to change the lenses, my thumbs were sore after doing it. I must say i expected it to be easier.
Conclusion:
I will have to drop this masks rating down to a seven because the lenses wee so hrd do change but otherwise a good mask.
Full face coverage
Adjustable strap
Looks
Doesnt fog (even with stock lense)
Thats about it
Weaknesses:
The plastic part on the front.
The un-flexness of it.
thats about it.
Review:
Well I went to my local shop to pick up this mask. I also bought a tinted lense and a cash money strap. I took it to the field and I got alot of compliments on it. I also put a MAXS SPORTS stickers on it and a hkarmy.com sticker. There is to things I dislike about the mask. One is the plastic frontal peice, I cut it off. Also the un-flexness of it. The proflex was extremely flexable and I count many bouses off it. But with this mask balls broke on the mouth part and on the ears. Its a great mask hough
Conclusion:
All in all this is on awesome mask. I highly recommend it.
The JT Flex 8's are amazing. Similar to the Proflex's but the style is a lot cooler and very comfortable and and see very well. The new Design helps ventilation and so you can talk to your teammates better and easier. Its kind of like Dye invision and Proflex's combined. I like it a lot when i first got it and stepped onto the field, and it makes you you look gooooooood : )
