A guide to picking out your paintball mask.
*find a mask made by a respected company
*make sure it is rated for the velocities of paintball, and not a glorified airsoft mask
*spend the extra money on a thermal non-fogging mask (worth the money)
*find a mask with an interchangeable or upgradeable lens
*find a mask that fits your head comfortably and has cushy foam on the inside to reduce shock on your face
*make sure the strap to adjust to your head will fit your head slightly tight, yet not too tight
*make sure the lens, mask, and other parts have no defects
EDIT: *try for a mask that is well-ventilated, in my case, i have found it not only makes it lighter, but easier to breathe
*the visor on the mask serves two purposes: 1. to stop the sun from gettin into your eyes when playing 2. it helps deflect balls off the top without breaking
*some companies have deals on colored lenses, which are just like having your sun-glasses on!
*make sure to also find a cleaner with none, to little, ammonia, as it breaks down the lens quicker
