Bought a i4 and returned it after I tried the EVS on. Just feels more comfortable and less cramped. Also looking like master chief is a W

[@gbone2636]

Played paintball in the early 2000's and still like to randomly check up on the state of the game. Awesome to see the Proflex is still used that much, think my bright blue one is kicking around in a storage bin at a buddies house somewhere. Definition of if it ain't broke don't fix it.

[@bankofbryan7917]

Love these product comparison/suggestion videos. Gives me ideas of entry level stuff I can suggest to new players. Also food for thought for when I'm ready to drop money on an upgrade. Thanks! 👍

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

You got it!

[@TheMemeMachineMatt]

Used to run an I5. Got told to try a JT and didn't look back. Wore it once after about a year after using the JT and thought I was dying from a lack of air. Crazy the difference. You forgot to mention the 2nd hand JT market puts them into the high price bracket lol.

[@DeekBoy333]

I love my proflex x these days. I used an original proflex back in the day and hated the replacement lenses

[@isosev]

Ive never had a problem with my Dye I5 and I play in humid and hot Florida weather. Never fogged on me once. I have used lots of masks but the one I will always choose over everything else is my Dye mask. Buy once, cry once. You get what you pay for. It just fits my preferences.

[@gtcustomcrafts]

Thanks for the video! I've been wearing i4's for over a decade for the weight but have been looking at the Zero. It was nice to see the features more in depth.

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Glad I could help!

[@mikelennie2848]

Love the i4. I've never had a better mask

[@glasspancakes319]

The Zero is, far and away, the best mask I've ever worn. I've been through i4s and i5s, Proflexes, Unites, and even a Sheridan Skull way back when. Only the Proflex is comparable in breathability. The rest don't even register on the same list.

[@darianbroadhead2863]

I’ve got a big noggin. Fitted cap size 8. I5 is the most comfortable for me and visibility is amazing…such a personal choice though!

[@gestwick]

Thanks for the video! Thinking I'm going to give the Zero Pro a try -- been playing with an i4. Question: You mentioned having a video inside your Zero mask. Got an install video? (Or is the video from 4 yrs ago still the best on this topic?) I planned to do the same... Thanks @PaintballRuinedMyLife

[@MTBurris]

Love the Blackballed clip. Please do a review!

[@Timber_LXG_5]

The proflex also bends when your shouldering something with a stock that i like when useing a magfed gas though stock and you can fold it up to have a smoke lol

[@SassSquanch]

just got my carbon sld in the mail today and i got an hk goggle strap pad for the back. it was a little tricky to get the pad on but damn is it comfortable!

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I’m doing it!

[@Dodge-gh9om]

The proflex has gotten me all cut up a few times in the colder weather due to paintball shell shards getting through all that good ventilation. No more proflex for me. Dye i4 been good to me all around but might take a look at the carbon. Thanks for all the info bud.

[@caskstrength7629]

Pro Flex Timeless.👌Good video.🇳🇱

[@DarkRendition]

In describing how ventilation ports are important you forgot to add aural feedback when yelling to teammates. I find that to be number one on the list. The Proflex is the most breathable of any mask on the market. It AMAZES me why there isn't more ventilation on high-end masks, other than the Carbon. Having a lightweight mask feels more comfortable, too.

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Just learned what aural meant lol. Echo is something I never really notice, some masks are for sure worse.

[@rickbirmingham2055]

Always hated the lens change on my flexs. My favorite mask was the VForce Profiler, which would be great if they brought back.

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I hoping we see a Profiler 2.0 soon🤞

[@Silikus74]

i'm still using my 8+yr old Empire Helix. it's solid and has a thermal lense for only like $40-50. i plan on upgrading to a CRBN Carbon Zero before next season gets ripping

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Still go mine too 👍. Mine needs lens, strap and foam...or just a new mask.

[@Silikus74]

​@@PaintballRuinedMyLife yea, saving mine as a spare. Just got a super hot deal and was able to snag a CRBN Zero Pro (blood) from lonewolf for $130, which is insane considering that the case and spare lense come out to about $60 total on their own. Now we wait for delivery like a kid waiting for Santa

[@dpdonmegat1000]

Im currently using a proflex and i love it its light, super breathable coming from dye i5 i just couldn't breathe in it because of my beard the flex sits off your face and when its comes to lens change its not a big deal because i never really change my lens unless im popping in a new one . I wish i would have tried on a proflex a long time ago instead of wasting money on the other masks

[@deltaphisig]

love for the proflex but not the proflex x? quick change lens and foam...

[@drewkroeker]

7:11 I now wear surgical gloves to change lenses on my JT proflex, because otherwise it will be marked up with my fingerprints. It takes a lot of swearing to get that lens in with all the tabs clicked into place properly. I bought a JT proflex X and holy shit, it is night and day changing lenses vs the original proflex.

[@liquidfiretibby]

the e-flex was an awesome mask. events lens with proflex bottom. loved those the grillz isn't bad either. wasn't excited when we got sponsored by GI and HAD to wear them, but it grew on me

[@OffensiveGhost]

I have the I5 from dye but I should probably have gotten the I4 to look more like a sweaty speedballer

[@pastienp7494]

Love my dye i5 mask, fits and feels great

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

For sure one of the most comfortable masks, I just cant breath in the thing.

[@bankofbryan7917]

I have my JT Elite Prime yeah 2003 mask lmao. EMPIRE E-FLEX, & HK Army SLR so bad ass !

[@ltfc44everrb]

About the Carbon Zero Pro. I saw it comes with a clear lens. But the lens in the mask is that colour tinted ie if it's blue, you see blue ? Or is it like a pair of sunglasses??

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Check this out, half way down there is a slider that lets you see the difference between the lenses. crbnpaintball.com/pages/c-spec-lens-guide

[@Featured_YT]

Flex’s and grillz are my favorites

[@dartanprince6260]

Crbn pro with a dye ratchet strap would be sick!

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I swear I think about doing this every few weeks lol

[@SassSquanch]

i got an hk goggle strap pad for my carbon sld and its super comfortable! Dosent have the ratchet obviously but the extra pad on the back definitely helps!

[@dartanprince6260]

@@PaintballRuinedMyLife Give it a try, and post the vid! Im to scared to ruin my i5s😂

[@CreeperCustomPaintball]

After trying a Proflex, i was hooked. I have the least fogging problems (glasses 😢)

[@sIeepagain]

Is there any good mask i can cop with $60

[@cayne9128]

No love for the Empire EVS mask in that mid range category? Mine has held up like a tank and is very comfortable with glasses worn underneath.

[@antonioduarte1335]

I currently have the I5, Push and the CRBN Zero Pro, and the CRBN is the best without a question!!

[@SuperBubba360]

Hi, seeing how flimsy the CRBN is, have you ever got shot in jaw area? Did it block the paintball or did the mask hit you?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I’ve worn the Zero pretty much since it was released, I haven’t really noticed anything different for any other mask. While flexible I don’t think they are flexible enough to make it hurt or anything.

[@CreeperCustomPaintball]

​@SuperBubba360 I have a team mate that uses the Crbn, he took a mean shot to the lip. Might have just been bad timing though, he was yelling when he got hit.

[@roberthguysky9720]

Still use my old E vents I bought in 06. There’s a reason they still make lenses for it. Still my mask to this day over my almost as old i3. Other than colors, I don’t see much difference between then and now

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Yeah e-vent is still great, some of the newer masks are just a bit more breathable,

[@two-bit463]

I know my JT Prime is a single pane lens. I like how the DYE looks and the Virtue masks look they just c9me up short on my face and I like my chin and ears covered ! CRBN is a great mask the bottom is just real flexible and really expensive ! That's why I love my SLR it's a little stiffer on the bottom than the CRBN. And I got the mask and the hard case for less than the CRBN mask fantastic review Brad

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

You bet 👍. SLR is great, much much better than the KLR.

[@evilfingers4302]

Still have my Old School JT Proflex in storage.

Yeah they should all work, although some of them were gonna have larger holes that might not work well with airsoft.

[@elicalvo3446]

Proflex for life. Our team is sponsored by CRBN and I still prefer all my flex's

[@longbob9545]

all good choices, though im suprised virtue didnt make the cut in mid or high end? also ive been using the proflex x for awhile now and its not the most comfortable but the fact that i can get my lense out quick is so worth it

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

The Virtue mask are great, I just cant breath in them nearly as easy as the ProFlex or Zero and nothing matter to me more.

[@longbob9545]

@@PaintballRuinedMyLife I agree they don't breath as well but are a lot more comfortable I think and breath decent

[@justalpha9138]

My EVS is still my favorite mask ever. Its so damn good, especially for glasses. The Empire Helix is okay, but the foam is really bad imo, especially compared to the Tippman Intrepid masks.

JT Proflex forever!!

[@notjoeyg666]

flex forever. best goggle. not super expensive. lens change is not a huge deal

[@somebrains5431]

Proflex, the Underoos of paintball.

[@BAGofTALENT]

Unpopular opinion - the proflex is extremely overrated. It has no modern features, mouth shots suck , ear shots suck , lens changes are a pain , can't change foam and coverage isn't that great. So many better options out there

[@BryorMoritz]

Nostalgia and customization are the reason they stay popular. They do the job but there are better options though!

[@Msantor1605]

Boo this man!

[@NoFutureInThis]

Completely agree! Finally someone said it lol

[@LemonHead-sq5ws]

With the pro flex you might as well not even be wearing a mask just googles because that’s exactly how it feels lol

[@jared_17]

part of the reason why i like them is because they resemble airsoft and ski googles. Some people prefer old school looks rather than sci fi newer masks. You see a proflex and know immediately its for extreme sports.

[@connorestabrook3150]

The worst part about paintball is the prices of everything. Proflex have been a round for so long yet still like 90 bucks just for the black one

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Shit. Two years ago it was $65 lol

[@tonymante8759]

DYE SE 50$ thermal lens good vents good ear ports great mask overall for starters and intermediate users what i dont get as more you get into paintball the smaller your mask gets lol why is that ive been paintballing for 9 years i dont get the tiny masks some of these guys wear they cost 200 bucks and cover 1/3 of your face. your chins sticking out of them etc. you have to wear a bandana to not get forhead shots etc. why lol.
