I actually bought this mask for my girlfriend who was going paintballing for the first time. I didn't want to make her use a rental mask, so we searched for something cheap but decent quality and found this mask. Overall, it's a nice mask with a good field of vision and sturdy protection. The only complaint that she had - and that I also noticed when I tried the mask on - was that the nose ridge pinches your nose near the eyes. It gave her a headache after awhile, though she did say that it started to "break in" after usage and fit a little better.

So overall, it's a great mask for the price (you really can't get much cheaper), and probably worth buying if you're only going to go paintballing every once in awhile (or if you're buying for a friend). The main problem, as I said, is that the nose ridge might pinch your face in the beginning. It should go away after a couple days of usage though. Just keep that in mind if you purchase this.

PROS:Cheap,Anti-Fog lens,can withstand airsoft pellets very well.
CONS:Front-protection only,flimsy/glued on padding,not helmet type like picture can make you think,almost feels too light.

I bought this mask for an all-out airsoft war scheduled for New Years Day 2010,I got it in a day with Prime shipping and it's good but you get what you pay for,the mask looks more durable and heavy than it really is and it also looks like its a full helmet type but its just front,temple,and ear protection,you are completely unprotected besides an elastic strap from the back. I do like the slits by the mouth because when you breathe,the lenses won't fog which is another good thing. The padding is glued on so I'm curious to see how long it lasts after a few battles from weather and sweat. Overall I give it a 3.5 but since there are no half stars,I give it a 4.

Entry level mask keeps sliding down off your face. No good support to keep mask secure on your face. Spend a little extra money and get something else.

I purchased this mask for my girlfriend for a paintball outing last month. If you have played with rental gear at any time, you know that the worst part of the experience can be a mask that fogs up in the heat of battle. Therefore, although she was using rental kit, I wanted an inexpensive mask that she could wear while we determine if she wants to pursue the sport.

Pros:

The mask worked great, even performing to the levels of my JT Thermal in the way of clarity and anti-fogging. Weather ranged from 50F to 75F with drizzle and and high humidity. I ran with the mask for a round and it did not hamper my vision at all.

Great air flow around mask.

Adjustment stayed put.

Cons:

Plastic is a little stiff, and if you have a ginormous head (like me) your chin may be a little more exposed than you would like.

Conclusion:

I will be purchasing another one of these for a spare mask, and I have convinced my buddies to purchase them as well, as their rental masks performed so poorly during the outing.

Verdict: Buy it, as either good starter mask for a new player, or a great backup/lend mask.

I couldn't decide which mask to get my son for Airsoft protection ... so I bought 3 different models (the GXG Stealth Anti Fog Goggles Paintball Mask, the Gen X Global GXG XVSN Paintball Mask, & the TIPPMANN TP420 Goggle)assuming that he'd need protection for his buddies too. All three were priced about the same and we've been satisfied with all of them. I personally remember seeing my son fire his airsoft gun at me and hearing the ping as it bounced off my goggles. I wouldn't play w/ out wearing one of these or similar protection.

This product is great it. I used it for outdoors and the only thing that fogged up was my glasses. The mask is cool when running and did not fog up.

I have worn this mask a few times. It is just not a very good mask. Not very flexible and not very comfortable at all. The foam doesn't fit to your face which allows your hot breath to go directly to the lens.fogging the lens up majorly. I don't care if it says anti fog or not but it does fog.

You cant go wrong, these seem to be well built and after a couple of battles no fogging. Worth every penny.

Mask was Christmas present for my sons along with their airsoft guns...they absolutely love them! No fogging, fits well and protection is ideal for airsoft...Thx!

The mask didn't fit me. It was too small. I'm only 5'8" and didn't even cover my ears. Hope it would've been mentioned in the listing.
