choosing paintball mask

[Meadster52]

Hi guys, just started marshalling, would like some ideas on what goggles/mask are good or bad to be used for this. Thanks

Unless you want further protection, I'd just decide the same way you would pick any other mask. Suppose the events are a good choice because they have that extra forehead protector. But so long as you get something with a thermal lense then that will do, because you'll be on the field for long periods of time.

Go for comfort over style, as Liam92 said youll be wearing them for long periods. try on the other marshals goggles that you work with to get a feel for different types

There's no specific requirements for marshaling goggles over using them for playing, beside maybe wanting a nice bright colour different to the rental goggles used at the site you work at.

Everyone's face and head is a different size and shape. Try on as many different sets at possible and find out which you find most comfortable and offers the best protection.

Thanks for the help guys much appreciated.

Im looking at the Dye i4's and the Empire E-vents as this is mainly what the people I work with have got. So I think that i will get one of these.

The E-vents are larger and offer a bit more protection especially if you have a larger head, however for me personally they gave me a head ache after prolonged periods of use... i found that the softer foam JT's were more comfortable. But again, its down to personal comfort.

oh ok thanks. I will check out the JT's then. cheers

As H said, look into trying as many as possible and not just for one game. See if you can use a set for a whole day to really get the feel for them.
