$300+… a fool and his money.

I just realized. I bet a handful of the buyers are also people whom say crbn masks are too expensive at $280 with 2x lenses, and a mask case.

I think these would look neat dyed properly, but I'm not a fan of the length or how see through they are. The price new was nuts, the trades and cash prices I've seen offered are even crazier. Also there's a seemingly believable rumor that there will be a new run of clears from whoever is making proflexes now, I'd imagine their value/quality would be similar to IZE vs ICE series flexs

This just in! Super Dead shot at these to test their endurance, and state that they "meet ASTM" standards, however they are not actually ASTM certified. This costs a bit of change and you have to send your product to their lab.

The NXL rules state that all goggles must be ASTM certified, and all manufacturers must submit their own independent lab test results to the league.

this seems silly, whatever happened to the $10,000 cheek shot. Sport is getting soft.

As someone who participated in the ASTM Paintball Subcommittee for a year, there's a few finer points to be made here. The ASTM doesn't certify products. The ASTM subcommittees devise the standard, and it's up to the manufacture to test their product and, it is advisable that the manufacturers use a 3rd party.for testing to serve as evidence in light of a legal claim.. If the NXL requires 3rd party testing, that is specifically a thing for the NXL.

The NXL don’t and couldn’t enforce that. Only way they might is if someone complained or brought it to their attention. It’s attached to an ASTM certified lens and frame, and it looks just like an existing mask. Honestly they are probably safer than an old IZE mask bottom.

$300 and limited edition would indicate they are printing this in some something…possibly Nexa Xip. If they had made actual molds they’d be selling as many as they could to lower the price on each one. There is no economy of scale with 3D printing though. You max out when the bed plate is full. The price only goes up. After a while you run out of customers with infinite money and it’s discontinued.

To me these are a nice idea but in actual use they make you look like a Punisher skull which is as far as one can get from the sort of “fun” that I associate with JT. Luckily they are also crazy expensive so I guess I win!

Other than the obnoxiously horrible “Prizm 2.0” lenses I don’t have a problem with current JT stuff.

Kind of reminds me of these, and I like these.
