I'm thinking of combining a I4 and pro/ E flex, have any of you got some tips for this?
If you mean modifying goggles into a hybrid - then my advice is not to do so
A modified goggle will no longer be an approved set of goggles

If you mean attaching part of the e/flex - EG sticking the 'skirt' chin area onto the bottom of i4s for more face cover then you could - but why?
If the i4 goggles are too small for your face then consider the i3

I have a E-Flex that I use normally. Just wanted a little project, seen some hybrid, i4/ proflex masks and thought they looked amazing! I4's look superior to the I3's, so no interest in buying one for playing purpose.

Can't hybrid masks be used at all in games or marshaling?

You must use appropriate approved goggles in paintball, many disclaimers that you sign at a site will mention 'unmodified'

Insurance policies for sites will have terms in the policy and the insurers will need the sites risk assessment for the activities of paintball, which will include everyone wearing appropriate approved goggles at all times when in the playing area

You could be stopped from playing in modified goggles, or they may not notice (or may not take notice) of your modified goggles

Strictly speaking unmodified also affects people who have added their own fans (DIY as opposed to aftermarket - assuming aftermarket is designed to fit) especially modifications such as cutting holes in the top vents


You may be allowed to use modified goggles, but you won't be fully covered

I4s are newer and differently styled then the i3
My set are i3 pros so have better ears then the standard i3, so i believe that other then styling and the lower profile of the i4 (therefore my mouth would be exposed) that they are on a par with each other

invest in good gear to start, don't go for those ridiculous army or two masks. t the end of the day if you opt out of decent gear its your eyes you are gambling with
I4's

Army of two paintball masks look jokes but I heard you can't use them in the uk
Army of two paintball masks cannot be used in any country for paintball as they do not exist

Army of two airsoft masks are advertised with 'search spamming' including the word paintball
Unless someone mounts an army of two mask onto paintball goggles.
Only paintball goggles can be used for paintball

People may be physically be playing paintball with airsoft masks - but only because they are idiots and are not doing so on an appropriate site without appropriate checks

People play paintball in an unsafe manner sometimes
In the USA theres a paintballer who goes by the name of 'one eye'
