choosing paintball mask

ive had really good reviews from i4's and really want a pair minus the price, try getting some on here a bit later, meant to be real comfortable, not as much protection as others but when youre marshalling you only really have to worry about you're eyes.
Not strictly true as, as a marshal you are shouting out a lot, weather that be telling active players that a dead player is making his way out or just giving out how much time is left in that particular game... so if you have a particularly long head there is a chance of taking a hit to the lower face or even worse the mouth. Dont get me wrong, I4s are great goggles and I play in them myself. I'm just pointing out that your eyes are not the only things you want to protect.

he means that as you talk or shout, your jaw will protrude from the bottom of the mask. i4s don't completely cover your jaw when you aren't talking at the best of times, so it's not exactly unheard of for your entire mouth to be exposed if you are shouting.well thats fair enough, apparantly they are really good with voice/sound dissipation so thats not an issue, but i suppose you are right but fortunately im not too tall or long headed
If I were you - Events or Eflex. They've got the face-hugging foam that makes your eye sockets feel comfortable. Plus, should it rain (an fabled phenomenon), you can get peaks for them. I think you need to adapt proto peaks to fit i4's. Plus, the Eflex has a little flippy-uppy bit (credit to JT for the design though), which means you can breath and drink something if you really need to, whilst on-field.
That sounded like a product placement, didn't it? Damn.
