    JT X-Fire mask rehab…possible?

    I have a few old JT X-Fire masks, and I’d like to know if there is a safe way to get them back in use.

    Are there any replacement lenses that would fit these goggles?

    thanks!

    Jt X-Fire was my very first mask. I know this doesn’t help your cause but just reading your post brings back memories. I still have the mask bag that came with it, only. I’m sure the experts will have an answer to your question 🍻

      If i'm not mistaken the JT "elite" style lense will fit all the old masks.
      smoked thermal still available on ANS gear. throw a new strap on there and you could probably make the replacement spectra foam work. why though? those things were torture. By the time you got all that replaced an old school thermal proflex can be had for $75. or a spectra proshield thermal for $51 and you'll actually be able to see to your left and right

        Paintball people being impractical!?? i've never heard of such a thing!

        my guess is maybe nostalgia, or for uniqueness !

        Correct on all charges. Nostalgia, instinct to reuse, even if it costs more.

        I’ll give the elite lenses a try, thanks!

            X fire uses elite lenses which are pretty easy to get. Even foam isn't expensive.
            Good mask for a smaller face cuz of the goggle size.

              Comes with a new thermal lens, frame, and strap. Everything you need. Probably can find a cheaper way to do it too.

                I rebuilt mine recently. You can still get everything like lens and foam. Be warned though if you haven't used it in a while, the field of vision is greatly reduced compared to newer masks. I was shocked how much I couldn't see to my side when I used mine on the field. I couldn't even see what was on my belt sides lol.

                  yeah the Spectra/Flex lenses wrapped around a lot more. I found some x-fires thinking I had a score and then figure it out pretty quick.

                Its horse blinders. More like a ski goggle. Good for smaller faces like a kid where a spectra is huge.

                  Elite lenses worked great! All three masks rehabbed and back in action for day of fun!
