I only got 10 bucks right now and I can start saving up. My parents aren't gonna buy me anything so I have to do some work. I'm just wondering what's a good mask under 40. I see some Proflexs on ebay for under 40, some vforces and some dye mask. Just wondering what is the top of the line mask I can get for 40 bucks. I won't mind used. Just something that won't fog and I can breath.

Yes. Most comfortable mask imo.

New, get the vantages. Used, get whatever you want

I personally would never buy a used mask.

For one thing, I know how sweat-soaked the foam is after a day of play. I personally wouldn't want to be sticking a strangers sweat sponge on my face for hours on end.

Also, you have no idea how old the lens is, or in what shape it's in. For all you know, it's a 5 year old lens that's taken 100's of hits and is on the verge of disintegration. Not only is this dangerous, it means you're gonna be paying another $30 for a new lens.

I get that money isn't the easiest thing to come by, but paintball is an expensive sport, and while there are many ways of cutting back expenses, your mask it NOT something you want to skimp out on.

^ this and get the V Force Pro Vantages I just picked up mine yesterday and the foam is great, strap has a silicone pattern for more grip on your head, great ear protection, great venting, flexible sides for moving up against your stock or whatever addition you have on the back of your gun(I personally don't have one I find they make me too clumsy), great field of view, great mouth protection, that's all I can think of right now, all in all though they are probs the best $40 you can spend on a mask. I haven't had any issues with fogging but if you blow directly on the lens it WILL fog up. I'll test them out and come back in a few minutes. But if you prefer a thermal lens then you can pick one up on Ansgear for $10 or you can go and get a Dual Pane one for $20.

Edit: After further testing of my Vantages there are NO signs of fogging only when I blew directly on the lens. That will never happen though because the foam blocks a lot of the air from going up to the lens.

don't buy a used mask the person who wore it could have drained all of his sweat in their its gross and get the vforce provantages you should watch mikes budget baller show.

[Ranol]

You really can't go wrong with a Vforce Provantage, the things are great for the price.

[Squirt]

someone might have peed in the foam?!?!!!

[DiabloRios]

VantagePro FTW!!! They where my first mask and still use it.

Very true, I would spend at least 60 on a mask, buy a high end mask.

[A&MBaller]

Proto switch EL. Never fogs, very comfortable and it isn't a thermal lense but it does have the coating on it that will last forever! only $30 and I don't plan on changing mask anytime soon!

[PrimeTimePred]

I know you said $40, so i agree on the Proto Switch EL as stated above, bu if u want thermal lenses and brand new for the proto switch FS (i have them an they are perfect!) they are $49 but hey whats $9 right?? Cuz ur mask is by far ur most important piece of equipment... Oh and plz dont buy a used mask just sayin...

no b/s/t/ outside the b/s/t

[atlpaintball24]

I would look for a used proflex, or buy a pro vantage new.
