Review:
I borrow my brothers Invision googes from my brother...who barely plays paintball anymore. anyway, these googles are very nice....sleek looks, anti-fog lenses, and very comfortable. though in my opinion, they are a bit pricy ($80 back then, $60 now). trying to install/replace new lenses for these things are a real pain. just when you think taking it out was hard enough, putting in new lenses can cause to have a tantrum. overall performance...it gets the job done while you look good doin it.
Conclusion:
If you have some extra cash, and you want to buy a nice lookin mask with the works...go ahead and buy these...just dont try to replace the lenses.

Review:
This IS a good mask, it has good field of view, the lens rarely fogs unless it is VERY hot out, and it is easily the comfiest mask i have ever put on. however it does have some downsides. the biggest is CHANGING THE DAMN LENS WHICH IS THE MOST DIFFICULT THING I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE. it takes 45 minutes to an hour the first time you do it and i think i would have been a better person for not going through all that. (-2) another problem is the venting is horrible at stopping paint and if you take one in the mouth vent, you will get a tasty surprise.(-0.5) the last issue i have is that if you are yelling to people on your team, your jaw drops below where the mask covers and you can get a nasty present. (-1)
Conclusion:
This is a good mask but you really have to give it some thought about whether you can live with the drawbacks (foul taste, jaw pain, and SERIOUS AGGRAVATION)
nothing, but own Jt something, scott goggles, and some crappy one.

Review:
No matter what people say, this mask does not fog up, I had blown hot air on them for 5 minutes, and not a single peice of fog was visible. It's really beautiful. I honestly don't really know what to say, other then It's really comfy and does the job, and I have a medium size head and fits great, however people with big heads would be screwed over with this mask.
Conclusion:
great mask all around, I don't recommend it to anyone who has a big head.
I have only used one other mask besides this one and it was a jt

Review:
over all this is a great mask made by a great, reliable company and if the u dont want to pay 80 dollars for it. Other companies have it for for a lot cheaper (actvil). Make sure not to use pink paint ive had some experiance with pink fill paint and these masks and it stains the lenses.
Conclusion:
great mask. The only reason i give this mask a 9 is because of the hassle of taking out or replacing the lens.

Review:
I really like this mask it gives me the best fit and the most breathable it does not catch any air in side. It is the coolest mask I could find I get hot very easy and this is the best mask I could find I tested almost every other comparable mask and this was the best for me.
Conclusion:
Well worth the money you can find it for $65 but feel free to compare
The only one is they dont fog up almost at all i can see everything
Weaknesses:
They do sometimes fog
Review:
The mask is prety good for its price and like i said doesnt fog easy it is prety good for its price i would recommend this. I really dont have much to say though i think its a good mask for its price and i recommend it to anyone if you dont have a good one either get this one or a v-force

Review:
I purchased the 04 invision and a thermal lense(both new) for it at the start of the 2005 season. at first i thought it was a great mask. after using it my opinion changed. i soon realised that the invision is a horrible mask. i had one bad experience with it after another.
first-the owners manual says soak goggle frame in hot water to install lense easier. this also softens the glue that holds the foam on. while inserting the lense the foam came off and wouldn't stick back on. even with hot glue/ superglue i had problems keeping the foam on.
second-the thermal lense i purchased with it fogged up quicker than the normal lense.
third-i was playing speedball and i got shot i nthe mask o nthe seem of the goggle frame and mouth shield part. the hit split open the 2 sections resulting in my getting a welt on my face. my friend who shot my chronographed his marker(smart parts ion) right after and he was shooting around 270 +/-. im positive the 2 sections were together correctly the mask does not fit correctly if there not together. i sold this mask and bought the new empire e-vent which is a way better mask.
Conclusion:
i say stay away from Dye masks they are not worth the price that they are sold for.

Egg W/ Z Board
Dye Invision
Strengths:
Very Clear Lense And very fog resistant.
Weaknesses:
Changeing the lense! The price isnt the greatest but it has gone down.
Review:
I have been using these goggles for some time now and they are great! They dont fog up when others do and the keep a realy small profile on your head. I have a pretty big head and these goggles actualy fit on me and keep my profile as small as possible. They do leave you somewhat exposed if you lift your head or somethign but what goggles dont?! The only problem is the lense changeing. Its horrible. Leave yourself at least an hour and a half to change them or just to clean them if you get paint int the cracks. But other than that there great and its worth it!
Good visibility
Good looking
good protection
comfortable
Weaknesses:
Fogs a little
Review:
I love these goggles and ill tell you how I fell in love with them
I was low on money and needed a good pair of goggles, so my friend agreed to get me these for my birthday. The night he dropped them off, it was love at first sight. As soon as I put them on, I noticed how light and comfortable they were. I also noticed that they didn't block my vision at all. The lens is crystal clear, and the vents in the front help to anti fog, and make you easy to hear. The only time i had a fogging problem was when it was 95 degrees and sweat was literally pouring from my brow, so you can't count that.
I think they're better that any other googles i've worn.
Conclusion:
Buy it, it will improve your vision on the field, and up your rep because theyre so sexy
2005 Smart Parts Nerve
Crossfire 45/4500 HP
Freak Barrel
Blue Diamond Empire Reloader B
Strengths:
Small profile
Awesome FOV
Weaknesses:
Very hard to take apart
No bounce factor
Review:
Well, I got my invision a while ago. I was happy with it until the problems started occuring. The mask does not fog, I will give dye that, and the profile is extremely small, but back to the problems. The mask is very hard to take apart. If you need to clean it, it will take you about 5-10 minutes to get the entire thing apart. Another problem is that the bounce factor is really low. If you get hit in the mask, the paintball will probably break, and that is not good. After 1 year of pretty hard use, the invision broke. A piece of the mask that protects your temple broke, and now if I want to use it I have to have the visor on, and I don't like visors. This is an okay mask, but I will not be buying another one.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for a good anti-fog mask, buy this. There are other masks that are better, but if you are looking for a common, good named product, get this mask.
