Lens color you use in your mask.

I've been looking into a new lense for my vforce. And the debate is raging in my team as to the best color. Your thoughts and vote are needed.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I voted for clear cause thats what i have. But, I'd like to get a amber lens. Had that color on one of my JT mask an liked how it made things brighter an stand out more. Its also the lens color i get when buying sunglasses.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I use the amber / orange lens in my jt spectra gogs. Things really stand out and camo doesn't work to hide other players as well. I think it gives me a little extra advantage.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I to use a yellow/amber lens. Think of the color of shooting glasses. IT wourks great in the woods as people seem to pop from the treas and leaves.

Just as a side note - I tend to drive a lot from my job (average day 250+ miles) and I have 2 pairs of sunglasses ( always have a spare ) and a pair of yellow shooting glasses. The shooting glasses are for over cast/rainy/snowy days. They really help!!!

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I second drewed on the amber. They allow you to pick out motion pretty quickly.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I use a mirrored lense in my mask. It's great for keeping the sun out of your eyes on bright days, and actually isn't to bad indoors or in the shade.

been wondering about this lense for a whlie now. when i see them i think of the movie Top Gun, seeing the lenses on the helmets like that just looks cool to me.

question for you...how reflective are they to people looking towards you in the woods?

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

Here's the best picture I have to show the reflective qualities of the mask:



Can't see in but you can see out just like your using a smoke lense. I've had a few people tell me it looks black in the woods and is hard to see.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

A couple of players at my field use mirrored lenses. I've observed that in the shadows the reflection is of the surrounding foliage. Kind of adds to the 'camoness' (like the word?) heh.
