What Is A Good Paintball
Mask?
The face mask
is the most significant protective gear in playing the sport of
paintball. It mainly shields the eyes from balls with a traveling
speed of up to three hundred feet per second. Most completely cover
the face and the ears, but there are those who prefer to wear
goggles, protecting only the eyes.
Paintball masks are designed to absorb any direct shot, from any
distance or range. An ordinary pair of goggles will supply only a
false sense of security and put one at great risk since it they are
not constructed to block a paintball. All paintball mask
manufactures measure up to DOT safety criteria and safety
standards.
The choice of the masks material is of significance. There are
masks made of different material from rubber, plastic to foam. It
is a wise idea to buy your own face mask rather then renting one.
It should be the first equipment purchased before playing
paintball. Be sure to properly test the fit of the mask to your
face and make sure that you can see clearly so you can well and
enjoy your game. The lens is the masks most significant quality, so
check it carefully; then examine the foam and see if it is
comfortable to wear and the design is attractive
 1. Typically, paintball masks will have
either non-thermal or thermal lens or be anti-fog for fog
resistance: these do not need an anti for agent applied to the lens
to perform their function. These thermal lenses will cost more but
they are a good choice because they just wont fog up.
2. The foam in a paint ball mask is an important factor to
consider, as it can determine your level of comfort. For instance,
a Vforce Armor is a neoprene type of foam a type of foam that is
considered a good foam, but it is uncomfortable. The Vforce Shield
and Vforce Profiler is and open cell and two layer foam which is
very comfortable to wear. The open cell foam can be compared to a
memory foam that is used in pillows.
3. Style is another factor. There are masks that are more
expensive even when the foam and lens are the same quality as
cheaper models, but the difference is in the style of the mask.
Choose wisely and never sacrifice cost over quality; your safety
should always come first!
