goggles
hey guys im pretty new (as some of you already know) and i just got my first gun (PMI EVO). looking into getting goggles now, althuogh i guess ill have to rent for a while till i save, and i just wanted to know which ones i should look into. i know i shoudl go and try them on at the store to decide, but i was just wondering what are some good ones to look at. are DYE masks really worth the price tag or are there masks that are just as good/better for cheaper?

get a used pair of i3's, they'll still be good, and you can always get new lenses. try some on, because its really personal preference tho.

so i guess my main question is are DYE goggles really worth that expensive price tag or should i get something cheaper like the JT elites?

IF you want to spend alot on a really good pair then get E-Vents or Profilers.
IF not I'm gonna say ProFlexs which have soft ears and get bounces

lol guys...i know how much the masks cost you dont need to tell me which are expensive. im wondering if they are worth the money. for instance if i was to fork out $80 on DYE goggles, would it be worth it or would i have the same quality goggles going with $40-50 JTs or some other company? im more than willing to spend the money, but i dont want to save up for really expensive goggles and find out i wasted my time and money.

I dont suggest getting JT goggles unless its the flex7/8
is buying used goggles an option, because you can find great deals on dye invisions like i did, some invisions go as low as 30 bucks. if you can buy used, i definitely suggest buying v-force profilers, which are usually 40-50 bucks used in good condition, and are great goggles. i prefer the profilers to the invisions

im not entirely opposed to buying used, but isnt it a little gross to buy something with someone elses sweat all over it and stuff? i guess to be fair its just like using rentals...ill definitely check out some used gear i guess. i think im going to play on this tuesday so ill check out some masks in the proshop then and see what i like then look for a used deal online or something. thanks guys
