Paintball is a game that relies heavily on being able to spot opponents. If you can't see your opponents, you will have little chance of being able to hit them with a paintball. If your opponent can see you, but you can't see them, you won't have much of a chance.
Your paintball mask just might be the most important piece of equipment in paintball. Paintball requires vision in order to aim, so you need a mask that wont hinder it.
Single pane lenses dont do the job. Many masks come with a single pane lens. It may the mask has fog protection, but that may be no more than a fog spray put on the lens. After a couple of games, the fog spray will wear off and youll have a fogged up mask.
When you are playing paintball, chances are you will get your blood pumping and your body will generate more heat. Unless you have a nice thermal lens, your mask will fog up.
It is amazingly hard to play paintball effectively with a fogged up paintball lens. You become about as effective as if you were playing with your eyes closed.
There are two lenses that trap air in between them that prevent fog from building up on the lens. A thermal lens will keep fog from fouling your paintball games.
Whatever type of mask you have, you should be able to find a thermal lens for it. Thermal lenses are more expensive than single pane lenses, but they are well worth it.
For anyone that wants to play every game of paintball to their best ability, I recommend that they get a thermal lens. It is a great investment!
