The Profilers and Grillz do NOT fog. Just don't wipe the coating off of the back of the single pane lenses (probably still what comes with the mask). Only use water on the back side unless absolutely necessary.

The dual pane lenses are now available and work just as well as any other dual pane lens. Buy them as your replacements.

Another note on the JT: it sucks to change and properly clean the lens (ie you got tons of paint inside, you cannot easily pop off the lens, clean it, and pop it back on in between games). Besides that, I still have a Flex as my other mask with no plans to replace it.

Doesn't the Profiler come with a thermal lens? I like the idea of camo tape. Should I get tan, olive or black for woodsball? Thanks.

The proflex is a very good mask,and is very popular.However,the ear protection they have is not really great.People have even been sent to the hospital for ruptured eardrums.And,the flexible part at the bottom is very breathable,but the breathing holes are so large that,if you get shot in the mouth,pieces of paint shell will hit your lip and probably bust it a little.So,if you can stand getting shot in the ear and small pieces of paint on your lip,then yes,it is a great mask.

Have you ever used a proflex before? I have been shot in the ear and mouth part and have never had a problem with either. And majority of masks when shot in the mouth part will have paint go through the venting. And you shouldn't have to get a different lense to prevent fogging two years on the same lense in my proflex.

I have a pair of grillz. They are good but i love my i4's 100x more

I got the olive one. But it doesn't matter if you're gonna put tape on it right? Get the cheapest one.
Bought one from http://www.redcellpaintball.com/ for 50$

No they don't fog and they are very good masks. The Events are a little older but i prefer the look of the eflexes. Never tried the eflexes but they look more comfortable. I have a profiler, have used it 3 times, and it doesn't fog. The anti fog coating doesn't wear off as some people make you think. Once it does just replace the lens for 25 dollars and there ya go, you now have a great mask that offers good ear protection.

[Pakistani]

just out of curiousity, why are you looking at masks that are close to being a decade old?

You have so many great choices of masks, i dont see why you would go for ones that are relatively old.

check out the sly profits, e-flex's, i4's, grillz, or e-vents. all of those are super comfortable, very durable, and all come with high quality lenses stock.

The Sly Annex masks are cheap. Reading the reviews some complain they fog. The only masks I read that don't fog is the JT Proflex and vForce Profiler/Grillz. I just wish the vforce had a camo version like Sly Profits.

[G4paintballer]

To me, profilers are really uncomfortable.

[Wolfe]

Profilers are great. I've worn several masks and these fit the best. They never fog and switching lenses is very easy. Best all around mask in my opinion. I4's are sweet too, but too small for my big melon.

[rckt]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your comments. I have decided on the vforce profiler, just have to pick tan w/ olive or olive/black color. And where to buy it? Thinking ANSgear?

[recreationalpb]

Please don't get the proflex. Is it comfy ohhh yes. Is it light ohhh yes. Is it breathable ohhh yes. Am I honestly scared everytime I play with mine and would never loan it out to a friend because I don't want to be responsible for them getting blasted in the ear ohhh yes. That being said I cant speak for the profilers, but another that i do think is nice is the proto axis. Just my 2 cents

[recklessbob]

ansgear is good go with them

Change of plan, I checked out the Proto Axis at a local store and like it better than the Profiler. I didn't realize that the Profiler does not have the thermal lens. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Eskimo]

My top suggestions for masks go

Grills
E-Vents
Profilers

(depending on price needed)

all three are awesome masks, i find they fit the broadest sizes of heads and offer balanced protection.
a mask like the proflex is superior in breathablity and weight, but offers less protection. so I'd only suggest it to a player who has enough playing time to understand what he is losing in protection.
the proto pro axis are awesome by all standards, thats also why they are 100$, you pay for what you get

You shouldnt really worry. I've played with mine for 2 years and havent had a problem. I even have the old style ears that are pretty thin.

I know but ive heard the stories and all it takes is that one ball to really make you not "have nice day." I dont worry to the point where i wont wear them but im just always careful to make sure they are twisted down over my ears and not in some random spot
