mask peak - disadvantage?

[Lucky]

Yet another one from the great paintball book of myths
Some say you shouldn't use a peak, but then they have no justification for saying so other than maybe their goggles don't look good with one on !
It's not "something else to get hit" as someone stated earlier........if a balls coming your way and you don't have a peak then it's just going to smack you in the forehead....DUH !
I use a peak to keep the sun out of my eyes, as my Oaklies don't fit to well underneath them and i can't be arsed to keep changing lenses. It also helps when it pisses down too. I'm using the JT Proteous and it works fine, my Dye's i don't use a peak on....it's just my preference.
So in answer to your question, do whatever you want to do. Don't be a fashion victim, if a peak works for you then go for it. if you find your getting hit or it's in the way then take it off, but do it for your own reasons.
Your the one that has to use your equipment, not the gobby know it all twat in the pits that you never actually see playing
I think i've had too much beer

i always thought that coudlnt get you head into bunkers better with peak on, but thats me

I think that maybe having two feet of gun in front of you may just slightly hold you away from the bunker, more than a peak......and if you are that close to a bunker then why aren't you watching the game or do you have a plastic fetish

No i rubber one but thats besides the point

peaks do stick out, especially when snapping, tis only another thing that can get shot

Possible......but it's more likely gonna hit my fat stupid head than my peak !
Oh and what's this other superb trend that the hip and down with it kids do...........take of the peak, and put a baseball cap on ???????
I'm going to bed now

Ok last one then i'm off as i've been up since 5am

Surely if your snapping then you should be looking at your target?
Therefore the peak will be in front of your forehead and if you get shot on it then the shot would have hit your forehead had you not had it on?
Or do they make peaks that i don't know about that keeps the sun off your ears
