Ditch that headshield - hellish foggy, and paint breaks easily on them. The Proto FS is a nice mask, I have one myself and it's fine. Events are my personal faves - but mask are very personal, you need to try a few on and see which fit best and feel comfortable (my teamate loves his Dye I4s, I feel like I'm wearing a pair of swimming goggles if I try them on....)

List of popular masks

Events/Avatars - I owned a set of the pre-09 events. They were uber comfy, and big enough so that they covered loads. I personally moved away from them because the combination of my heavy breathing and getting hot caused them to fog in the woods. This was only a personal problem though, nothing to do with the mask. They're great masks and people love them. I did, too. There's a lot more venting on the ZN events, which would help. Comes with a nice headshield attachment.

Dye i3 pro's - Dye's older model, still in production. Very big and (I've heard) very comfy. No quick change lens system though.

Proto Axis Pro's - Owned these. Very comfy and are quite big. I felt they were a little open around the jaw, but that's just me. They just came second to my personal favourites. Sold to a friend who loves them.

JT Proflex - Another very popular one. They're big, very customisable, and generally quite comfy. I have owned a pair, but sold them on because they weren't to my personal preference. Some people say the soft ears leave a bit of the ear exposed, but that's only something I've heard. There's also no quick change system.

Vforce Grillz - Owned these as well. Gorgeous looking and VERY comfortable. Very breathable, and large enough to feel well protected in them. Loved them, but the pair I had fogged up on me so much the first time I used them. Sold them on because of it. Was probably just me on a hot day, but hey. Some people swear by them.

Dye i4's - Own these still, and are my personal favourite. These are very small, but I feel that they don't offer any less protection due to how close they sit to your face. They have never fogged up on me, and are comfy as hell. Love them. The Grillz, Proflex and Axis pro's were all sold on because they just came second to my i4's.

Now, I'm very biased. But this is my list of popular and very good masks. I'm sure any of these will suit you fine, but, quite frankly, there's no substitute for trying them on yourself. I've been through my fair share of masks, and after it all I know what I like. It's very personal.
:)

I'll agree with what's said. Event's are a safe bet. I'll also throw the i3's out there, as they're massive.

if your glasses are thick black square framed ones , and they stick out from your face abit more then the average pair, then your going to have problems with the I4 pushing them in.

I had a pair of size 55 frames and they were to big, you need smaller frames like 51 to 53 for the I4's to fit.

I took in my I4's to specsavers and picked a pair that fit underneath them :p yes i did get some odd looks, but hey,,,, research :) :)
