    I have extra V-Force Vantage Pro Mask. Never used. I think will be cheaper than buying lenses only from Germany.

    you can't compare a vantage to a jt flex headshield.

    Man relax. He is playing airsoft. No one is going to throw stones in his face. I know that you speedball guys have all the fancy, very expensive gear - because you need it or just want to have it. So what is the point of spending 30euro or more on lenses when u can have the whole mask for that money, just comon sense. I personaly change the whole mask every 9months because cost of lenses only is irrelevant.

    That is why I assume Gatling likes the head shield. For the added protection. My personal choice of equipment is irrevelant here. I am basically saying that a JT flex is a better and more comfortable mask than a Vantage. Thats from personal experience.
    A new lens will not cost 30, maybe a chrome one yes but a clear one will be 12e and a strap 11e. 23e to keep his old mask in good nick versus a second hand mask for 30e?????? How does that not make sense?
    Players tend to change the lenses rather than the mask in speedball more often because a highend mask will set you back at least 70e. If you play paintball competitively and take it more seriously you appreciate the superior quality such a mask brings such as lighter weight, no fogging, bounces and less interferance with your senses along with general comfort and style.

    Relax. Relax. Who said mask is second hand??? That's the first thing. Second thing about fogging, yes? For 4years I use masks which doesn't cost more than 35e and have no problem with fogging, how that happened? Bud I'm not here to start argument with you.

    check http://www.paintballer.ie/ixl for the next irish event in april ;)
    If you fancy playing keep an eye on paintballer.ie for SODs, basically anyone can play there, paint is cheap and there is always LOADS of spare gear floating around.

    yeah the yellow lens is good for low light, personally i use a blue fade for mixed weather, clear for low light and an orange chrome for sunny days ;)
