It comes with a polychromatic lens, that can be red in appearance depending upon the light. Or blue.

^Thats what makes it an S.E. Originally I thought that the lens was mirror red like they sell already. But I was told that its both blue and red hence the limited production run.

OH WOW... very kewl. Thanks you both for the info. I wandered about that because on ANSGear's website the lens looks red and when I saw the pic on here I was like, thats definitely not red...

I got mine in this weekend and it IS very much colored... I would almost call it an aurora color because of how it changes in various lighting... I LOVE the velvet interior of the mask... the soft ears and face foam are the most comfortable I've ever worn. And although I do still love the styling of my old school I3's I think daddy's found a new work horse on the field!

That's almost too nice to play in if you ask me. And it looks much better in those pics then the advertising ones.

agreed... they make the mask look like it sticks out too much on the mouth part which it does not.

I love the look of these things, but when I tried them on it felt like there was a lot of material incontact with my skin. My problem is that I sweat a ton when I play because its usually areound 85 degrees out when I go (luck of the draw I guess).

How do these handle moisture absorbtion?

I realy want to get a pair, but don't feel like having a wet towel wrapped around my head while I play.

Thanks guys

LOL... I know just what your're saying. I think that feeling is from the velvet. I still haven't hit the field with mine yet but I'll let you know as soon as I do. I think you DEFINITELY want to wear a headband with this mask to keep the sweat to a minimum.

updated pics with new custom sly strap:

ItsNate · 07-26-2010, 05:49 PM

Does anyone know if the gloss lens surrounds on these things can be swapped out?

Like in the pic above its gloss black... on mine its gloss white. I would LOVE to be able to put a new color on mine and give it some flair.

Rey Mysterio · 07-26-2010, 05:53 PM

i dont think you can swap the frame, but ask sly, theyll be able to tell you better.

SoCalHomie52 · 07-27-2010, 05:13 PM

anyone else having the paint on the their frames easily chipping off? I have the silver profits and i'd say about 20% of the color on the frames is already scratched or chipped off. I've taken decent care of them and haven't been tossing them around but compared to my other masks these seem to chip very easily.

Rey Mysterio · 07-27-2010, 07:08 PM

If you email sly, they will replace them!

calidrifter · 07-28-2010, 01:58 AM

They're in Anaheim so turn around will be super quick. Just make sure someone is home to sign for them.

lunchbox5000 · 07-29-2010, 11:44 AM

i just got my digi camo profits and wow they fit really well.im super impressed with them. much better then my flex 8 and proto's. the only thing i dont like is the gradient lens i keep thinking my lens is dirty because its clear on bottom and dark on top. maybe i just need to get used to it i hope they start selling a full smoke lens.

Rey Mysterio · 07-29-2010, 11:56 AM

i dont know if they will sell the full smoke, hit up somone who bought the retina's.

nastystankweed · 07-30-2010, 03:16 PM

I got the retinas took it to the field once and got shot on the frames needless to say The paint chipped off. I sent them back and got black ones hopefully the paint wont chip now. Although the paint looks great the quality is garbage. I should be getting my new mask next week. Thank god they have good CS. Did anyone else experience this problem?

Rey Mysterio · 07-30-2010, 03:30 PM

maybe you shouldnt get shot in the face

haha jk
