i wouldnt really listen to those ratings. go to a proshop and see if you can try on some masks with your glasses on. trying it on is the best thing to do.

proflex has soft ears, and protues uses a different frame around the lenses, which they use on the 04 proflexs now i think, which might effect lense changing time

th vforce shield is a good one 4 people who wear glasses.

went to a local store today to get me a new lense.

they told me that there isn't a true thermal lense for the profiler, but rather only a "thermal treated" one. Is that true??

Ok I just wanna say this...it all depends on YOU. No really...how big is your head? (no puns please) and how big are your glasses? Personally I prefer the Proteus for glasses as the VForce for some reason makes contact with my glasses with the lense. Profiler doesnt work for me either but both of those work for my other friends who wear glasses where the Proteus doesnt work for them. My suggestion would be what was mentioned earlier. Go to a pro shop and try on a few different masks. When you find one you like...buy it.

^^

that's a great point, but knowing what works for others gives you a place to start from instead of trying out every single mask that's available on the market.

True...but any "good" (note the quotes) pro paintball shop isnt going to stock anything but the best...and thats limited to maybe 5 or 6 masks. At least in my experience.

Also...dont buy it untill you try it.
