Face mask

[RubenR]

As I am under 18 I have to wear a full face mask, is this a good choice ?

If not can you recommend any others preferably with a clear lens and under £30

Cheers

Might be their based of GameFace Masks which i have only seen on sale in the US Sadly but their nice for the price as a couple of ICEE Team member`s used to wear them one of them having faced off against Oliver Lang (Great SpeedBall player)

but most paintball mask`s are better although i think the 2013 range might be coming out for alott of them so hold on and they`ll be a little cheaper. i`ll go hunt some of their model`s down and i`ll post some link`s up for you although they cost upward`s of £50 they will be more comfortable like any other Paintball player on here can tell you.

That mask is ok but there is not much ventilation you probably want to look at something like this

Dont get a super cheap mask there not comfy and some of them will even cut into you

for a mask go with something mesh as they don't steam up

any goggles that say they don't fog they do as the film which provided the anti-fog is very easy to get scratched off

I use a tmc strike v2 mask because it offer a lot of protection - won't steam up and I'm not a big fan of masks Those those....

What about this ?

http://www.store.justpaintball.co.uk/revie...27/category/71/

 

[Nickona]

its designed for paintball not airsoft so i wouldn't run the risk peronally

 

[TPI]

if it's designed for paintball it will be better as far as masks go but that one isn't to great it's just like the one's usually given out but its an upgrade from it

http://www.store.justpaintball.co.uk/masks...ts-09-mask.html this is good alot of people still prefer them to the newer one's

but i'll keep looking for you

+1 for the TMC Strike V2. Very comfortable with great protection, even the ears.

Only downside is the ear protection makes it difficult to see down iron sights but if you have an acog or similar it's fine.

What about this one ?

I would like to see more ventilation but it looks like it's well-padded only trouble with a mask like that is it's so low it can be hard to aim but you can work around that or just get a red dot

So if you like it go for it

Little tip, Wear a bandana it will help keep the sweat out of your eyes, It's kindda hard to mop your forehead when you have that on

 

[RubenR]

Aparenlty your supposed to wear glasses underneath the mask incase broken bb's go through or doesn't it really matter ?

 

[Boro]

It would matter if it happened and I guess it is possible but has this actually happened to anyone?

If you're worried about shrapnel going in your eyes, I would suggest glasses and a half face mask, Luke the one Liam posted up, the TMC strike

 

[Flynn567]

It sucks that they won't let you have mesh eyewear but broken bb's going through unfortunately does happen from time to time, It's normally cheap ammo

As Boro said you can get a two piece like this

But judging by what you have said I would just get a mask for now

[RubenR]

I think I'm going to go with the proto fs switch mask, thanks for all your suggestions !

Cheers

 

[Boro]

I'm tempted to try some of these http://heroshark.co.uk/

They look ok but I prefer full face masks
