I would like to second this thought ... insured game's/field's only allow paintball or certified googles (e.g. ESS, Revison, etc) for play. Even if this mask's googles are blast proof they wouldn't be allowed due to the insurance requirements.

That would only leave private field operations.

After seeing that video of the lense popping out after a few hits, I don't think these will be allowed at my field (its a private field).

Note that the lenses weren't broken, but they were scuffed. They're attached by tabs, not sealed with glue or anything. (Possibly so you could swap lenses?).

Side note: I can wear my Oakley Jawbone glasses - the ones I usually game with - under this mask.

actually mine did come sealed with "some" glue, but to be honest, i honestly wouldn't trust this mask anyways, mine arrived with the lens partially popped out already...unless i super super glued everything in the back

but even if i did that, the nose piece is just so uncomfortable...feels like it'll break my nose after more than 15mins of wear time

personally, i feel that this mask has a lot of potential, unfortunately in my opinion, this needs a lot more work before it should be on the market.

for now, i'll keep mine for halloween and cosplay events only.
wallhanger for the rest of the year.

Also:

Follow up by Airsoft Park on 2012-07-04: The manufacturer also found this problem,that is why they are upgrading this mask now.It is also the reason it is out of stock for 1 month.The next shipment should be in better quality.

Also:

That's good to know, I guess your test sent them a good message.

A guy on our team got one then ran some JB weld along the egde of each lense, once it hardened it withstood a shot from a L96 shooting 450fps with a .2 from 2 inches. It did leave a small dent in the lense, but the lense stayed in place.

Save a little and buy real gas mask with ANSI rated glass, like MSA Advantage 3200.

Save your money and eyes and do this lol. You only get two of them. You should never cheap out on eye pro, ie JB welding lenses in place

[talon]

just looked at some of the Advantage 3200 stuff, didn't see any ANSI rating info. Mostly just stuff like "Don't use this if there is a threat that is immediately a danger to your health, like VX nerve gas", nothing about eye pro. Presumably because there was more of a focus on the respiration stuff, rather than face/eye pro.

Good price, though, so I'd be curious to see for sure the ratings.
