Paintball Mask

[dropkick10]

Hi all,

Hoping someone can give me some advice on purchasing my own paintball mask.

I've been using site issued masks however these tend to apply pressure above my right eye/forehead, causing serious discomfort. These are VForce branded but I am unsure of the model.

I have been looking at the Empire E-vents Mask but these tend to get mixed reviews, however I do like the styling. I have also looked at the Dye I3 Pro Mask.

Any advice gratefully received!

I have I3's and love them the best advice i can give is go to your local shop or walk on and ask to try on different masks it is all down to personal preference good luck

Hi Spookls,

Thanks for your quick reply! There are not any stores around which doesn't help. The only masks for sale at the site I go to is Proto. Walking in the dark here a bit but I can't put up with the pain any longer!

Ask the site refs if you can try their masks (I'd expect them to have their own and not use site issue due to comfort)

Other options are
try a local walkon and ask to try on masks, most ballers are happy to let people try their gear
Hit a big game like NvS as they have large trade areas where you can try on and buy gear
Last one is just bite the bullet and buy one you like, if it doesn't work out then sell it and buy another (this will work out pricey)

Cheers Random Invert! Paintballing Friday night so will ask the marshals for their advice.

Do the I3 have good padding then?
