Review: Invert Helix Paintball Mask

(I have not seen a review on these only on other variants such as E-Vents, V-force, Empire, etc. Anyways reviews are souly based on opinions.)

Hey guys!

I purchased a pair of Invert Helix paintball goggles weeks ago, played a few games, and have nothing but good things to say about them! I got them from Dick's sporting goods and couldn't wait to immediatley open them when I got home. First I realize: "Whoah. This thing isn't put together." But that's the way I like it! I quickly assembled it and slid it over my face and to my surprise after all the heavy breathing it wasn't fogging at all. Wonderful! Only when you'd breathe staight on it it would fog! This is entirely because they come with a set of E-vents lens. I had no idea until I checked them and saw. So below is my basic review.


Mask out of package:


Assemble ear pieces:


Slide in goggles, place tab in that holds them in, and fasten strap:


And you got one nice mask!:



A quick run down of the pros
  • Vents lens do not fog
  • Comforabtle with a hat
  • Increased mouth slots make talking easier
  • Easy assembly/disassembly
  • Only 30$. It's a steal.
A quick run down of the cons
  • Uncomforabtle to some (few)
  • More mouth slots means more paint in mouth
Empire: You have earned my respect. Two thumbs up.
I can't think of anything else right now but feel free to ask questions!
For now:
-Zulu Out!

Re: Review: Invert Helix Paintball Mask

i too have this mask and it works great the only time where i might experience fog is if i'm sweating a lot, or its raining and water gets on the inside lenses, and that isn't really fog. i completely agree with your pros and cons, the only thing i might say is that it is a big mask, and people with smaller heads might see it to be uncomfortable. but anyway i got it for $50 and i have to say it is a great mask for the price. good review

Re: Review: Invert Helix Paintball Mask

Theres nothing wrong with them. I just like how these have nothing sticking up that far above the lenses. Just personal preference.
