Hey all new to this forum but have been browsing the forum for a few dasy doign some reasearch.
I have loved paintball since the first time i have gone last yr! and going again in 2 weeks
what i am asking is i would like to start getting more involved in the sport ie buying my own gear as the cost is high well for me it is.
As all the hire googles are crap ( sweaty and scratched lenses etc )
i think the first step is for a new mask. as i can deal with rental markers for now
what is a good and relative inexpensive entry level mask.
i have been lookign at heaps of paintball sites ( from members links i have found here ) and seen JT's googles for around the $55 to $80
just need you guys opinons

and how fast could i get one shipped out to wa?

Contact a guy called DMan if you are in WA. He has some JT stuff, I am sure he can hook you up.

Andrew will be able to help you out. He is a good guy. Being in WA I am sure he will be able to get you something pretty quick.

He has basic JT X-Fire goggles for $60, They are reasonable considering they have a thermal lense. If you want more quality and comfort though, go for the Flex 7's or the Proteus.

Agreed. Flex 7's are the most comfortable, it's just up to you deciding if you want soft or hard ear protection.

And deciding the amount of money you want to spend too. I use a flex 7 mask and they are really comfortable. I got mine from australian paintball game supplies --> http://www.ultimateskirmish.com.au/ Just click on gear & accessories. They are only $110 from there.
