I absolutley love this mask. it is extremely comfortable to breathe which makes communicatio0n on the field a lot easier. The wide range of peripheral vision makes it easy to keep an eye on the sides without taking my face away from the target.
The only thing i dont like is that is just fits my face. The first time i used it i managed to get tagged in the jaw because there wasnt enough protection. Oh will rather style anyway.

I've been using this mask for over 2 years now and Its been a great experience, coming from an i3 this was a lot easier to remove the lenses and clean, it had a better field of vision, and with the HD lense I fell in love with from the i3.
Some people dislike this mask because it doesn't offer a very good neck/shin protection, I personally don't really care a lot about this, since i've played paintball i've only been shot twice in the neck area, if your worried about neck hits, once your coming off the field put your loader next to your neck so it covers you.
Overall this is a great mask, you get used to its profile and it feels like nothing.

My favorite mask i have ever used, it takes less than seconds to take it apart if you wanna clean it or change the lens. The view from them is fantastic you can see everything and not have part of the mask block your view. To me this is the best mask in every aspect, it looks sexy, it's easy to work with, and you can breathe so well while using it. Only bad part is it has a low profile so if you have a bigger head you might wanna get a sandana or bandana

The smallest, lightest profile and best field of vision available. The i4 has a rapid change lens system that you can change in less than 10 seconds. The i4s offer more horizontal and peripheral vision. You have 290 degrees field of vision. It has multi-Directional Venting. This makes communication with teammates effortless. You can also breathe better. This system also helps with the fogging of the lenses. This mask is also 20% lighter than any other mask on the market today. They also come in multiple colors for your style with multiple choices in lenses for your suite.

Dye Precision I4 Thermal Paintball GogglesReally love i4 goggles. They are comfortable and the holes allow for easy breathing and don't cause alot of echo. One of my favorite masks in that I keep buying them! (I've owned 5-6)

*Update after 5-6 more paintball days with the I4*
- Mask still feels super tight and light, love it.
- Dunno if it was a factory defect or not but the thermal portion of my lens started to peel off, I used some super glue to re-stick it. I figured it'd cost me more to ship it back to DYE for a warranty replacement. Seems to work fine.
- For those who are wondering, I am 5'9 and 210 lbs. So I'm not tiny.
- Mask still doesn't fog, which is awesome
- Went on a somewhat rainy day, and an included visor..or visor option could have helped a little
- The HD lens is really an awesome concept (basically like comparing a clear lens to an amber lens when you go skiing/snowboarding). Again I do not know if it'll make you play better, but I do notice it helps define edges of people, paintballs, bunkers, etc.
- Straps is still good and tight, which is why you no longer need a chin strap even during big dives.
- I finally got shot in the jaw under my right ear. It hurt A LOT, and continued to sting the rest of the night. I was not happy about it. Who shot me..my own teammate in my back corner.
- I have come to realize although the mask is small on the bottom and doesn't cover your chin or jaw well. Most of the time you are looking down and have your arms up to cover your jaw with your shoulder (like a boxer) when you play. So Chances of getting shot in the chin or jaw is actually not that likely when you play, unless of course you get shot by your own teammate like I did.
- OVERALL: still very happy with my mask, and all my other masks I have are now just for my friends and family to use. The price is high, but it's not terrible. If protection of your forehead, chin and jaw is a ABSOLUTE must for you...then you may have to consider another mask, but all the benefits that come with this mask makes it absolutely worth it.

*Initial Review*
So I bought the I4 last week and finally got to take it for a test run last friday. Looks are going to be a personal thing, but to me, I like how the I4 looks. Even though at the same time I'm not a fan of the E-Vent (which looks very similar...go figure). The rubber is very soft on the mask which makes it comfortable and may lead to potential bounces. The HD lens on it actually does work well, with it make you play better, probably not, but it is a nice feature. Also the thermal lens IMO works much better than the I3/I3 Pro thermal lens. I constantly fog up those thermal lenses (even with the DYE fan), but with the I4 (with no fan) fogging was not an issue for me for once (I sweat a lot). And of course the number one thing about the I4 is the quick change lens system. It's extremely easy and reliable.
The price of the mask is standard with most DYE masks, and $100 isn't a bad price to pay for one of your most important if not THE most important piece of paintball gear. I'd rather have 1-2 good masks that I love than 10 that are just meh, but again it's up to you. The mask also fits very tightly and snug to the face, which does create a smaller profile and does help eliminate that "I'm wearing a paintball mask/helmet" feel when you play.
There are really only two things about the i4 that bug me. 1) the lower portion is very small. I have a "strong" jaw so the sides of my jaw stick out even when I'm not talking, which if/when I do get hit there...will probably hurt a lot. Also when you are speaking your chin sticks out a lot too. So pray the time you get hit in the lower portion of the mask is not the same time you are talking to your team. At the same time the top portion also comes down low, so sandana/turtle cap/bandana is probably a must to avoid huge forehead bruises/welts. the one advantage to the small size of the mask, is that it has made the mask very light. Probably one of if not the lightest mask on the market right now.
DYE has also done away with the chin strap. I guess it's unnecessary, and well works well for me. The DYE i4 also does not come with a visor which could come in handy during rainy days...so during those days I guess I'll stick with my I3 pros. Lastly, I'm not sure if it was just the day I was playing, my ears are going bad, or perhaps the mask itself. But I found I had a little more trouble hearing people friday than I typically do. Again could be due to a number of factors, but I can't leave out the possibility the mask may have affected my hearing.
Regardless the mask is a great mask. It's not perfect but it's well worth every penny and worth a consideration for anyone looking for a new mask.

Dye Precision I4 Thermal Paintball GogglesI got these in a gear package for 09. I loved the way they looked, and how large the lenses were. My only complaint was that they were a little small, and that my mouth was exposed when yelling.
