Ah, my FIRST paintball mask. I had the original clear/black Flex 7 thermal package, which quickly turned yellowish and black.

I ended up with multiple versions of the Flex 7 over the years, red frame, black mask, teal frame, teal mask, etc.

One of the strengths of the Flex system is that it's so customizable. You can change out almost every piece, and each piece is available in every shade under the sun and a lot of patterns (including camoflauge for you woods guys).

It's very comfortable, you can get hard OR softears, and lenses are available in every shade or color you can think of as well.

Cons:
Dated style. Face it, it's been how many years since a major revamp? The lenses are a huge PITA to replace.
Some parts can be hard to find. The field of view isn't as good as more modern masks.

Would I recommend the Flex 7? Yes, to a newer player, or one who wants to feel the nostalgia.

Bought a clear flex 7 a few years ago (not really clear, just a smoky white, like it's void of color) as my first step into the Flex world. Don't remember if it was an Ize or not.

Light mask, comfortable (except for the hard ears), looks cool. At the time, though, i wore glasses and it didn't fit well - the corners of my glasses rubbed against the inside of the mask lens.

Gave this one to my bro-in-law & put together a custom one for myself. Flex 7 is still a great mask but i'd recommend replacing the hard ears with soft ears or getting a Proflex (already has soft ears).

EDIT: Took it back, since my bro-in-law doesn't really play. Threw soft ears & a new lens and now it's pure secks!

Pros: Comfort/Sight
Cons: Mouth protection/Hard ears
I bought a used flex off a friend at a good price. They feel very comfy on my face and I like them but the hard ears are a bit of a problem. They bother my ears while I'm wearing them, I reccomend an upgrade to soft ears (about $10 in the NIB forum). The mouth guard is a double edged sword. It gives you bounces, but it also gives you welts. I personally would rather take a welt and keep playing but the occasional rec baller may not care that much to walk around with a welt on their chin for 2 weeks. To each his own, but I think it was a pretty cool innovation for mask grills. The lense is plenty big enough for good vision along the field, and the foam doesn't scratch your face or aggrevate your skin. The flex is a good mask

This is a great mask very breathable. I bought some full hard jt ears and can't wait to play with them. If my lens ever crack i'll just buy a new frame with lens installed because it's $5 more than lens and you can resell the other frame shhhh..

If your looking for an all around great mask at a great price, the Flex 7 is your choice.
If your looking for that pro style feel, and weight/profile, go with the Proflex.

im most likely going to buy softears for them, but i might not due to comfort. overall good mask only reason reliablility is low is because i think it is a little too difficult for the lens to change. my strategy is buy more than one frame. and ears and strap to throw bottom on.

Got this mask Brand new about 8 years ago.I just got back into paintball.I went over to my parents house and found my old gear(some of it).This was one of the items.The mask has held up extremley well over almost a decade.I have used this about 10 times in the past month and it slightly fogs up but i think its just my sweat dripping down.The mask is extremley comfortable.I may look into upgrading to a flex 8 in the future because it can only be better and have been very satisfied with my old school flex 7.Like i said up top.I have had this for 8 years...I got it for christmas probably when i was like 16 or something.I think my mom paid $80 for it.Which seems like alot...but technology was different back then.
