The Best Paintball Masks of 2011
Paintball is an awesome, adrenaline-pumping sport, but you must always be sure to be properly protected, so here are some of the best paintball masks from 2011. New masks are developed frequently by manufacturers who constantly seek to produce a better product in both functionality and design. A good mask will both keep the lens from fogging up, allow plenty of space to breathe, provide a wide field of vision, give good protection, and have a cool design.
Gen X Global GXG Paintball Mask
Coming in at rock bottom prices is the Gen X Global GXG Paintball Mask. This mask proves that you do not need to shell out eighty to one hundred dollars to find a good mask.

It includes a lens with a wide field of vision that also pops out easily with a quick release system.

JT Proflex Limited Edition Thermal Paintball Mask
A new and limited edition, the JT Proflex Limited Edition Thermal Paintball Mask is a product from JT, a very well-respected Paintball products company.
