HELP! I can't decide between the two, I've only played with a friends i4's before and never played with the klr's. Need some help deciding.

build quality is sketchy at times on KLRs, i4s are great quality, but the whole point is they are meant to be the lowest profile mask you can get, so if you are concerned about getting shot in the chin because you're yelling then it might not be for you. otherwise great mask.

I am a new play and I tried on both and decided on the I4's, I really like the i4's good field of view and lenses easy to change. however I do have a small face so my jaw doesn't hang out much.

No I'm not too bothered about getting hit in the chin and I play snake if it helps?

The build quality of KLR's has come on leaps and bounds since release. It was only the first batch with problems. Just pick the one which fits best but I recommend you try grillz aswell.

i have both, i also play snake, i love the weight and the fit of the KLR the quality is good but the foam comes unstuck a lot (these are the old design, im told they have improved it) but they are usless in the woods as they fog up if worn for a prelonged amount of time.

I4 are great great build quality and they hardly ever fog (rain played a big part in them having fog issues)

I prefer the KLR for tourney and the i4 for woods they are very different, i would try them both before deciding.

Check some reviews and try before you buy!

HK army KlRs did have some build issues.

I cant fault the dye i4 i have two and i love them.
However i can say the KLR did have more cover around the jaw line.

well i've been playing snake for about 4-5 years and sometimes depending on how you are shooting from a low/prone position certain masks press against the tank and knock them to the side etc. as the i4 is a very low profile/tight fitting mask no matter how you play it shouldn't be a problem.

I much prefer the HK over the i4 mostly because it covers the jay line a lot more and i think the look of the HK is much better, but if your looking for a low profile mask i would go for the i4 as it is smaller and tighter to the face
