Spyder Imagine LED
14" Proto 1-Piece Barrel
To lazy to type anything else
Strengths:
Doesnt fog
Durable
Comfortable
Cheap$$$
Weaknesses:
Hard
Lens
Venting
Review:
For a 20 dollar mask this thing is great. It has great protection and it serves its purpose.... what else could you ask for? The only tihng that gets to me is the venting is rather poor and it can get a little hot. ( If you live in Texas and play in the summer )
Conclusion:
Great for its price but wouldnt recommend it to anyone but a rec baller
Proto FS- I prefer the Armor
Scott Hotshot- They should call it "Hotsh*t"
Marker Setup:
Silver Smart Parts Nerve #1816
92/4500 High Pressure Crossfire
Dye Rhino Cover
Smoke Halo B
Strengths:
No Fog EVER
More than 1 color lol
Price:Quality is insane
Weaknesses:
Only taking it apart the first time was difficult
Review:
Well after I had my friend buy one of these because he was just entering the sport and they were inexpensive I had to get one myself. I think that it is really comfortable, my Proto FS I won in a drawing at a scenario game was more comfortable but its also worth about $40 more than the Armor. My Armor has NEVER fogged unlike that Proto mask I rarely use. The lens does scratch after a while of rugged use but not very bad. For all you woodsballers it is available in green so you can blend in better with your surroundings, I was once a die hard woodsballer too :P.
Conclusion:
For under $20 it is an outstanding deal! As soon as my friend showed it to me when he first got his I had to get one. I conveniently lost my old Scott Hotshot so I had to get a new one. I didn't even purposely lose it lol. Go buy one right now!!!

Spyder Victor with Taso Winforce barrel, clear viewloader hopper, 20oz Pure Energy CO2, and custom made handle.
Strengths:
Cheap
Protects Your Face (sorta)
Weaknesses:
Fogs up A LOT
Review:
This was my first mask. Honestly, I wish I'd gone straight for the thermal.
This thing fogged up like nobody's business, and the only reason it didn't fog completely was because the foam didn't seal on my face.
The visor also tended to fall off of mine.
And shots to the mouth area of the mask often led to paint splashing into my mouth. Not dangerous, but rather nasty.
Conclusion:
Don't bother with one of these, just get a thermal. If you ever use something like this, especially during the summer months when it's really humid, you'll know why.

Dye Xcel
20 oz co2
Shocktech Superfly Bolt
Strengths:
Lense
Foam
Durability
Protection
Weaknesses:
Innefective visor
View angle range
Review:
I have had this mask for 3 years now, and it has never let me down. The back strap has good range so it can fit a wide varity of people so my brother can use it too. The foam on the inside of the mask is very comfortable and does not irritate the skin like all rental masks. The lense is great. I have never had the lense fog up on me at all, and the lense is resistant to most scratching. The visor doesnt do much as far as blocking the sun, but it does block some light. It serves a more cosmetc purpose. The hard plastic side have been able to take many hits from all sides, and has not broken. The other negative aspect of this mask is that the range of view is poor compared to other masks. The mask cuts into you prephrial vision, and gives you tunnel vision.
Conclusion:
Overall great mask, comfortable, durable, and affordable. There are better masks that have a better viewing angle, but this is made up for in comfortability and affordability. Great product. 8 outta 10.
Well, I bought this mask used at 10 dollars from my local shop, and to tell you the truth, I put it on and it was a tad uncomfortable. Other than that I thought it was a pretty cool mask so I went ahead and bought it. My first game in it did not go well. I was hit in the mask several times in such a was that haveing a softer mask would have prevented it. Besides the plastic being pretty hard, I think that this mask is pretty good for the money.
Conclusion:
Well, If you're on a tight budget, this is a pretty good mask.

JT Spectra Mask/VForce Armour Mask
Strengths:
Cheap, doesn't fog easily (even in the winter), price
Weaknesses:
Not the most comfortable mask.
Review:
I got these goggles free when I took a group to Skirmish, and I am glad I did. These are great backup goggles as they provide a great LOS and even in the cold they don't seem to fog up. They aren't quite as comfy as teh JT Spectra Mask that I own, but no biggy since I only wear them if the JT is covered in paint and basically uncleanable in the field.
Conclusion:
Great goggles for the price and make an excellent back up pair of goggles.

Java 200rd Hopper
Strengths:
It is cheap and it doesn't fog up
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
My Spyder Sonix Pro came with a Java V-type mask that is to small and it didn't have a visor. It didn't protect my face well because I got shot in the face and it actuallt hit my cheek that was covered by the mask and one day while I was at Santa Clara Paintball I saw my friend buy this mask for $30, so the next time I went to Santa Clara Paintball I bought the mask and I wore it into my first game and liked what I saw. It didn't fog up and it protected my face better because I was shot in the mask 3 times.
Conclusion:
Overall it is a good mask and it is cheap. GET THIS MASK!!
