Re: Cheap Backup Mask?

Thanks to everyone who gave input. Turns out I COULD afford a Morph!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AME WN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110081628987&rd=1&rd=1

$60 CDN delivered is not bad, especially since it was used only twice.

Re: Cheap Backup Mask?

Most excellent! Too many people seem to jump right over the Morph and go for a Profiler.

Re: Cheap Backup Mask?

^I did.


While I love the Profiler, the Morph looks sweet!!! I love the look of the green rim around the lense.

It may become somewhat less of a "lender" mask; I may use it in place of the Profiler at times!

Re: Cheap Backup Mask?

ya know I found 3 $12 or less masks at pawn shops, and they all had nice lenses and they arent the cheap ones with hard foam on the sides either..... ones a JT with clear covers on the vents, and the others are brass eagles.... I dunno know what kind the are but the JT isnt a flex8

Re: Cheap Backup Mask?

^Thanks! Problem is, where I live, there are virtually no pawn shops, and besides ONE paintball store (in my entire province), and Walmart/Canadian Tire, there are NO places to buy paintball gear. That is why besides paint, air, and a lense for my old Vantage, I have bought everything in the US. I may start using CanadianPaintball.com, now that it has come to my attention, but it is hard to beat the US in pricing when you are getting in on a large order with friends to cut down on shipping and customs.

When I started paintball, myself and 5 friends made an order from the US that was around $4500 USD plus about $200 USD shipping.

Re: Cheap Backup Mask?

^I have used that mask, and a friend owned one until he bought a Profiler. I am not a fan of the head protection; I find my regions somewhat muggy summers, and cold, wet winters cause them to overheat and fog alot.

However, some people swear by them, so I guess they must be okay depending on the location and circumstances.

I bought my Pro Vantage for around $40 CDN when I started playing. I just sold it for $60 CDN, but I threw in some extras, including a lense, as well as the fact that I modded the mask with a fan. Selling my old backup paid for my new one!

Re: Cheap Backup Mask?

...$60 CDN, so about $50 US. One of my friends that I play with bought it off me. Now 4 of the 6 regular people I play with use VForce Masks as their primary!

They are:

Myself: Profiler, Morph (sold Modded Pro Vantage)
Friend: Modded Pro-Vantage, JT (?)
Friend: Pro-Vantage
Friend: Profiler, JT (?) Headshield
Friend: JT (?)
Friend : Proto Switch EL



Sorry about not being able to name the JT masks. It is about the only company that makes masks that I don't know almost their entire product line.
