Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

Pretty good. I play woodsball, lots of trees and shade. partial sunlight.. the mirror lense seems normal to me.. I would imagine the clear lens would be way brighter.. But, the mirror should be more visable then smoked I would believe =) Just the reflection might give away your position. But, who cares.. you'll get hit no matter what.. it's paintball. (Might vary if you wear glasses ;P)

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I have a clear lense in my Urban Camo Flex8 and a Chrome Mirror lense in my Black and White Flex8. Both are good...the mirror gets hard to see out of in the trees when light is low (cloudy days/evening time).

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I have a JT goggle set. The lenses are a yellowish amber color. And yes, motion is quite noticeable with them.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I have a clear in now, which is good...but the amber I have on it's way, is better (from past experience).

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I have amber, love the way it brightens everything up.... I did come accross one drawback last time I played.... the teams were divided between yellow and white armbands.... it was tough to differentiate between the 2 and the time lost in figuring out if I was aiming at a teammate or not definitely cost me a couple of kills.... just my .02

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

It really depends on the mask... I have an OD jt pros hield, so amber, or mirror would look funny... That is why I went with smoke fade to clear. Now if you had a black mask, I could see amber, mirror looking sweet.

Heres a pic of my mask, you mad eme wanna show off my boonie hat though...

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I use the clear lens all the time. If I need a yellow or gray color I just put on my sun glasses. Pulse its added safety.
