Here is my dilemma, I have had four different recommendations from all reputable people. Here are the choices (money isn't the problem I want answers based on performance.

Dye I4's
Sly Profits
Empire Events
Angel Eyes (I'd wait)

If you could try them on at a local shop I would do that.

Fit / comfort should be though about when purchasing a mask

Dye I4's seem to get nothing but great reveiws -
I think any of those masks would be good - I4s may be a little smaller in facial coverage than the Slys

ya slys are better chin coverage then i4s
but there is problems i have heard with there thermal lense
plus the ear pc is a bit uncomfotable
been told just to cut it out

I love the i4s easy change lenses and have NEVER fogged
and dont wait for the angle eyes......many ppl have for a long time lol

and i have heard events are a great mask just never used them

But my vote i4s

And there's your answer. Don't just blindly buy a mask, make sure it fits first. Otherwise you could wind up with a mask that don't fit you at all. Case in point, the Sly mask doesn't fit me at all. If I bought one online I would have been pissed cuz I simply cannot wear them.

This would be ideal, except that there are no actual paintball stores in my area, only academy's and they don't carry any of these. I have a small head but I'm really leaning towards some i4's.

im personally bias to the save phace series, nut if ur into thos kinda masks, i recomend the sly profit.

My honest opinion on them...(yes I've tried them all on)

Dye i4's: Awesome mask. Very comfortable, breaths well, great vision. Downside is that they are small. If my head was small enough to wear these, this is the mask I would get.

Sly Profits: I absolutely hate this mask. They tried putting in WAY to much padding, and I personally sweat like crazy just putting it on. To much padding around the ears totally muffles sound, and the venting was done very poorly. Double head strap is very nice though and the mask absolutely does NOT move. I really wanted to like these before I tried them on, had heard great reviews, they looked awesome, but alas they are not for me.

Empire Events. Like the i4's these have great vision, breath very well, and absolutely NEVER fog. Not enough padding around the forhead IMO, but I wear a headwrap so this really isn't an issue. They are bigger then the i4's so they fit a larger range of people and they come with a visor. I personally use this mask myself.

I cant really help you with those masks iv only tried on the Dyes, they were alright but i didint find them very comfortable, kinda small. But have you looked at the JT Proflex? its what i use and i find it to be a very comfortable mask, well vented. However with soft bottom dosent offer a huge amount of protection(your gunna feel it if you take a ball to the bottom of the mask, but no injurys).

I have worn i4s and eVents. I loved my i4s, best mask I have ever worn. I dont a have big head but its not small either, it fit me just fine. I would get i4s again. Events were ok but nothing compared to the i4s.
