Best New Helmets for 2016

The only time paintball is a safe sport is when the proper armor and protection are used. The most important object in a player's paintball inventory besides paintball guns is a mask. Paintball masks are what protects players most important areas, eyes, mouth, temples and nose, from speedy paintballs. Without one, competitors' faces are prone to serious injuries, including severe bruises, damaging of the retina and chipped teeth. None of these are something anyone would want to encounter. When buying a mask, cheap is not always the best. Cheap gear can break easily, block vision and fall off more easily. For a player to improver their game and provide their face with more protection, they need to spend a few extra pennies on a new, more expensive mask. .

The Virtue VIO (Versatile Innovative Optic) is the most comfortable paintball mask ever designed, featuring a quick change, fog resistant thermal lens, and an innovative versatile design that allows the player to easily change out every aspect of the goggle - from the face mask to the foam, ear pads, goggle strap, and lens.

The VIO's large thermal lens offers the best field of view and can be removed and replaced in seconds thanks to the integrated Hinge Lock.
