Ok so I've been playing paintball for about 2 months now. The question I have is how do I stop sweat from my head coming down into the foam of the mask and eventually leaking into my lenses and blurring everything up.

Thanks

Headband. Also, if you have the cash, buy a proto mask with a fan in it. I've never owned one, but that might work for keeping you cool.

ya i live in phoenix so it gets up to 120 and they close the fields...take a headband or towel or whatever and get it wet, ring it out, and put it on you head. if its not too wet youll stop the sweat and stay cool

headbands with a good thick sweat band are great

Headband, or wear a beanie for your whole head, but it if it's hot, just wear a headband.

I've just started playing with a headband the past month, and it's a great investment! Keeps the sweat out and makes the mask even more comfortable!
