Proto Paintball Masks



Proto paintball is the sister company of DYE, which is one of the most well known product lines in paintball today. DYE has been around since the beginning of the sport and has continued to create and improve on their products every year since. When Proto was released to the paintball world everyone took to it right away without hesitation. Not only did Proto have the backbone of one of the most liked companies in the sport,but Proto also had the same quality as the Dye products at a fraction of the costs.

The Proto paintball masks meet all safety standards, are very comfortable, have great ventilation, and have a very easy way to remove the lens for quicker cleaning and changing of the lenses. The lens on all the Proto goggle systems are removed by pushing the two tabs up where the goggle straps attach to it and the lens will simply pop out. The Proto masks available are the as followed:

Proto EL Switch Paintball Mask is one of the first masks Proto produced and is a single lens (non-thermal) that is great for anybody getting into the sport and looking for comfort at an affordable price.

Proto Switch FS Thermal Paintball Mask is the same mask as the Proto EL mask (Pictured to the right) but is a double lens (thermal) which prevents the goggle from fogging up on you when playing.

Proto Axis Mask W/ Free Game Timer is the second generation of masks produced by Proto with a new sleek design with even more ventilation and comfort. The Axis Mask is a thermal lensed mask and comes with a free game timer to help ensure you hang that flag before your time is up.

Proto Axis Pro Mask is the newest Proto goggle system (PICTURED ON LEFT). The mask is almost identical to the basic axis mask besides the new design in the ventilation and a few other small changes.

Empire Event Masks


Empire goggle systems have been around for some time and have made some of the nicest mask out there with the best range of vision. Empire currently makes two different styles of mask, the events, and the cylus which is their cheaper version of a mask. Below is a description of the empire events.

The E-Vents lens system is a very advanced and optically correct lens. Although at first glance it looks like a flat lens it actually changes in thickness to maintain the best optical quality possible. The power imbalance, which means how your eyes see for straight ahead, is 0.00 for both Spherical power imbalance and Astigmatism power imbalance (the value is so small it can not be read with conventional testing equipment). What does this mean? It means what you are seeing is really where you think it is, so you can be more accurate in your shooting.

The lens is an extremely safe quick release system. It can be replaced in seconds, but yet is held very securely into the mask and frame. Unlike other quick release systems the E-Vent’s lens fits in under the nose piece. This means the nose area does not deflect in when shot, so it prevents the ingress of paint into the goggle under the lens. To further lock the lens into place there is a tongue and groove around the edge of the lens and goggle. This prevents shots at the edge of the lens forcing paint up into the goggle and helps maintain a high safety factor. The Lens is held in at the sides with very robust retainers, which also hold the high quality metallic Empire logos. This simply pushes through the lens and the goggle, then secured in place inside the frame by placing the end of the strap clip over the retainer and twisting down into position. The added safety being that you can not have the strap in place if the lens is not in the goggle properly. So you can not wear the goggle until a lens is in place. It is a very quick and easy process so you can pick and choose lenses to suit your playing conditions.
