I would have thought that was blindingly obvious...firstly, you cant play paintball with pots strappd to your eyes..secondly...even if you did, I doubt it would be reliable!whats more important to get mask or pots and double ended fluffy stick? i cant afford both and still go paintballing twice next weekthanks
And why not buy some secondhand profilers and just get a new lens...most people on here wont sell youa pile of crap anyway.
Mask is important. James and Skeet know all.
As for pots, Get the fatboys, as they are cheap and cheerful. What is important is to keep them clean around the lids. I've got mud on mine at the lids and it's a buggar to get them open and closed when they are dirty.
Clean fatboys will click open and click closed easily with a well maintained thumb.
Also, I tend to like the fatboys, as when you slide into that bunker and land on your pack, you will probably crack or split a pot or two everynow and again. You don't mind breaking Fatboys at less than £2 each, but you will mind breaking the dye pots with the lock lids... they expensive.

Yeah...FatBoys are cool...they get shot and crack, or you leave them behind a bunker and forget them...or get stolen....its common to get mugged in teh pack and have your pot or pots broken.
altho i have used fatboys, i swear by locklids, super strong, big, and the lock system is easier (for me anyways). but go with what you can afford at the time, because pods can easily be replaced, or borrowed off mates if needed.

lol yer i know but i was told i could use the sites masks and i cant load my pockets with paintballs ....and if i get a block in my barrel i thought i mite need sumthing to clear it...pots strapped to my eyes sounds good lol!....and i want new profilers because if i dont get on with them i can send them back (i'll wear them for a bit BEFORE i actually use them and cover them in paint) and maybe try a different pair as i cant travel at the minute.. I just wanted to make sure

Well...no goggles are perfect...Profilers are very popular and most people wouldnt have a problem with them and if you need glasses, they are ideal as there is room in them to wear glasses.lol yer i know but i was told i could use the sites masks and i cant load my pockets with paintballs
What are your worries regarding "not getting on with" goggles?
LOL dont worry mate, site masks take alot of pounding, so the strap lose's some of its Elasticity, you will not have the same issue's with any mask bought doing that.the site ones i had slipped everytime i jumped over a log and had trouble seeing anything to my side as they seemed quite far foward and not tight to my face
and vision wise, it changes from mask to mask, but profilers,e-vents etc have good all round vision-james
