Paintball Thermal Lens

If you want to be a good paintball player, you should have the ability to spot your opponents immediately before they get a chance to spot you. This means that the type of mask you choose will be very important.

The referee won't allow you to enter the playing field if you don't have a mask. The mask will serve as your face's protection. It shields your eyes from the splat of the paint.

You have to ensure that your mask is of good quality. It should not affect your vision and most especially, the mask shouldn't fog up.

Fogging is a real problem with a single-pane lens. Most cheap paintball masks use this type of lens. Even if the manufacturer claims that the mask has fog protection, it will only work on the first two games but on the succeeding games, your mask will definitely fog up and start to hinder your vision.

Paintball is one of the most intense sports played in the world. You can't avoid sweating because you will be running, creeping, crouching, sliding, and do other complicated moves. Once you sweat, your mask will fog up. Fogged lenses can hinder your eyesight so you won't be able to see your enemies well. It's like playing with closed eyes.

But don't worry because there are now thermal lenses available in the market. This is the answer to the fogged up lenses of paintball players. There are now a lot of thermal lenses sold in major online stores and in paintball shops.

Why should you choose a mask with a thermal lens?

Even if you're heating up and sweating all over, the mask will not fog up. The air is locked in between the two lenses, thereby preventing fog.

It's a good thing that manufacturers of paintball accessories came up with this type of mask. Some players tend to remove their masks on the field just to wipe away the fog and they could be in real danger. With the thermal masks, once you wear them, you will only take them off when the game ends. It protects your eyes and your face from the paintballs.

Before purchasing any mask, you have to make sure that the lens is not single pane. You can ask the seller frankly or you can examine the masks closely. Shopping online is an excellent choice because you will have a wide variety of choices. Perhaps you can also find special discounts on the masks.

You don't have to sacrifice the mask's quality just because you can't afford the more expensive masks. If you want, you can still make use of your old mask and save some money for a new thermal paintball mask. Even if it costs a little, you can use the masks for a long time without getting fogged up.

Paintball Masks: Better Than Paintball Goggles

Ryan — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:01:36 +0000

Although the very popular sport of paintball, often referred to as "war games", is sometimes seen to be dangerous, the introduction of the use of safety equipment has successfully decreased the risk of injury.

The main aim of the game is to mark your opponents with paintballs which are propelled from paintball markers or guns. Once a player is marked, he/she is eliminated from the game.

Taking possession of the opposing team's flag or marking the other team's "General" are additional objectives of the game.

Paintball is an equipment based game and the minimum gear required to play includes such items as compressed air powered guns, paintballs which are used as ammunition, and eye protection in the event of players being hit in the eyes by the paintball.

With a muzzle velocity of 300 ft/s the paintball gun can disburse paintballs upon impact, not enough to cause skin tissue damage on contact with the face but nonetheless it is still advisable that eye protection should be worn.

Goggles, although regularly used amongst players only protect the immediate eye area and can sometimes constrict the wearer because of the strapping securing them to the head.

As an alternative the player can opt to use a paintball mask which covers the whole facial area offering complete frontal protection and at the same time providing the player with a 290 degree field of vision, which is not always the case with goggles.

The VForce Profiler is a comfortable, well designed, snug fit mask which is ideal for out on the playing field. It comes with an anti-fogging feature, another useful advantage over the wearing of goggles.

The more serious players may have other items in their kit such as knee and elbow pads, chest and throat protectors, support equipment like paintball packs, and paintball gun swabs and squeegees in case the cleaning of the paintball gun becomes necessary during the game.

Paintball Masks: Importance of Wearing A Mask

Ryan — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:23:19 +0000

Paintball is getting a lot more popular. As many as ten million people in the United States are playing this competitive game. One of the things that makes it so popular is that paintball is easy to play.

At its most basic, paintball is just trying to put other players out of the game by marking them with paint. However, there are a lot of variations on the game, besides the simplest version.

You can also play games where you're trying to capture or eliminate the general of the opposing team, or a version of capture the flag.

To play paintball, you do require some equipment. Paintball guns, which operate on compressed air or carbon dioxide and can propel paintballs through the air as fast as three hundred feet per second, are vital.

This is fast enough to make sure that the paintball breaks as soon as it hits an object, but not fast enough to seriously hurt someone. Paintballs are also required, as well as masks or goggles to protect the eyes and face from flying paint.

Players aren't supposed to shoot at other players' heads, but sometimes accidental shots do land there. Wearing good paintball masks is a way to make sure that these paintballs don't cause any damage.

There are many different brands and styles of paintball masks, but one that stands out from the rest is the Vforce Profiler paintball mask. It's good at keeping your face safe from paintball impacts without hampering your breathing or range of vision.

Since being able to see properly could mean the difference between avoiding a shot or being put out of the game, high visibility is paramount when selecting masks. Likewise, you'll be uncomfortable and unhappy in any mask that doesn't allow easy breathing.

The Vforce Profiler allows the wearer a 290 degree range of vision. It also has an easy to operate lens switching system, and is packaged with its own storage bag.

The biggest advantage of these masks, however, is their anti-fogging feature. Since condensation can't form on these masks, players don't have to be worried about equipment failure, and can focus on their game instead.

Another great feature of these paintball masks is that they're extremely light. This makes the perfect for first time players who aren't used to wearing the heavier varieties of masks.

People with a lot of experience may still prefer these masks, since lighter equipment makes it easier to move. If you're in the market for paintball masks, be sure to consider the Vforce Profiler.
