Why would I be kidding?

Different people have different shaped heads so Masks will fit differently. This is why it’s important to try Masks on.

For what it’s worth I’m not the only person that doesn’t like the way they fit. It’s like it pinches the bridge of my Nose.

It’s also like a 30 year old design...

I think one of the biggest draws of a Proflex was that it had a very generic/open shape. The ears, lower mask area and shape of the lens aren’t contoured with some madeup technology to have some magic fit. They’re wide open and breathable, so they fit a LOT of faces comfortably.

Several of the guys on my team are picking up the new JT quick-change lens mask, I don’t remember the name so I’ll just call it the New-Flex. If you have an issue with the lenses, that might be a good buy. But personally I don’t change lenses often enough to care that much. I run 6 different masks now so my lenses stay good for a while in each.

There is a reason a 30 year old design is still widely used and relevant today. While all the many other masks using BS marketing to try and sell why their mask fits better, or breathes better etc, the JT Proflex has chruned on and been worn for over 3 decades.

This is why the Proflex is popular^ It is such a universally fitting and performing mask for such a wide variety of people

And still gladly being worn on the pro field. it won't fit everyone. But there is a reason it's still relevant. They got it right the first time.

They absolutley killed it on the price. Most LE masks try to totally bone the customer for crazy high prices.

$89.99 for an all time great mask in an awesome limited colorway is a steal

JT had put out a release awhile back saying they were still in production but had hit a snag with some vendors/suppliers due to the pandemic. As it sits right now I believe they are expected to be done in about 6 weeks or so give or take

I think I'm going to have to order one. I used a flex before i quit playing and never had a problem with it. I just remember changing the lens sucked.

either you have a GIGANTIC nose, or you wear your mask incorrectly.

Paintball News Rules
  1. No Upping threads. If you have something to say, please do, but don't post in the thread just to take it to the top of the forum.
  2. Do not post "1st post", "1st", "First post" or anything similar (or with any other number) at any point in a thread, even if you post a comment too. It is really annoying and it will result in a ban.
  3. If you don't like something, say why instead of just calling it ugly, lame, gay or any other name. If it is old, simply post a link or report the post with a link to the older News thread.
  4. Please don't post links for places to buy items. That encourages stores, sponsored players and other people to do it and spam the site.
If you have questions, please post them in the Talk to Mods/Admins forum.
