Best Paintball Masks of 2023 | Top Paintball Goggles Available
What is going on guys? It's Tony from Lone Wolf Paintball. Today I am bringing you the top goggles of 2023. All right. Yeah. Before I jump in, you guys already know the drill hit up lonewolfpaintball.com. We have all sorts of varieties and selections available on the website. And, let's jump on into this. Top masks of 2023 in no particular order. I'm not ranking them. So I'm just going to start off to my right, move on down. And there's one goggle that I don't have on the table that is making the list though. Stay tuned for that one.
Push Unite Paintball Mask
The Push Unite goggle, first off, Mark, the price point, $184.95, right?
[Mark] Yup. $184.95 for the Push Unite.
As far as I know, the Push Unite goggle is the only one on the market that does come with its own hard case right out of the case. So it comes with its own hard case and it also comes with, I'm going over the best features, an Allen wrench. And you might wonder, why? Because it has a goggle with an adjustable nosepiece, put the Allen wrench in and you can adjust the bridge of the nosepiece on the inside of the goggle to fit your personal preference. If you have a small nose, you have a big nose, wide head, small head, use this to adjust it to fit your needs. This goggle does also come with a very nice lens, obviously removable foam, that's extremely comfortable. Quick change lens system. You name it, the Push Unite's got it. And Mark, do you know what I missed?
[Mark] The magnetic chin strap.
The only goggle that I know that does have a magnetic chin strap. So it's a very nice feature. A beautiful goggle, great case, a very nice adjustable nose piece to fit your personal needs. So that's the Push Unite making the list.
Dye i5
Next, we're going on to the Dye i5, another head to head kind of competitor with the Push goggle, per se. These retail at $189.95, I believe.
[Mark] Yes, sir.
Dye i5 goggle. Once again, it does have removable foam. So very, very nice. A tri-layer foam helps with your sweating keeping moisture away, but you might notice what is that in the back? A ratchet strap. You guys want to tighten or loosen the goggle? This is the ratchet strap that goes on the back of your head. You can unloosen it or tighten it to whatever your desire may be. So it's the only goggle on the market that does have this currently stock out of the box. And other than the quick changing lens system and it's fancy, beautiful looks, it breathes really well.
It does come out of the box with a GoPro mount for you guys out there that want that first person footage. This comes with a GoPro Mount in the box. Mounts right to the top of the goggle, and you can put on whatever GoPro you guys have and get some footage of yourself playing paintball. So, before I go into the next one, which is going to be... Wait for it. Wait for it. Check out. We do have full breaks, like full on breakdown reviews of all of these goggles on the YouTube channel. So I'm just doing quick snippets of what I think the, you know, the best features of these are. But check out the videos on all of these. Unboxing them and going over the features.
I've been slowly adding to the online store, color combinations of every available lens with every mask color. So if you want to know what that white and gray EVS looks like with a green chrome lens, there's a photo of it.
Check it out. He's got photos. No, you cannot steal them. They are Lone Wolf Paintball watermarked, and Mark's been working extremely hard. So yes, go check out all the goggles on the site, with all the lenses and what they look like if you guys want to switch up your style.
Bunkerkings CMD
So right now on the screen, I don't have one in stock, it's called the Bunkerkings CMD goggle, which is definitely making the list. Let's talk about some of the key features. Once again, the goggle is currently on the screen for you. It does have the VIO lens, and uses their technology. It definitely does have a 300% improved breathability. That's what CMD's claim to fame is. It's extremely breathable, better than a lot of other goggles on the market. Going along with that, their acoustics and communication with it. You don't get the echo and your teammates can hear you loud and clear. Comes with a visor, which is integrated into it. And it's got a ton of other great options that you guys should check out. CMD goggles, definitely going to be making the list. Alrighty, now we're onto the Empire EVS. This is a goggle... Oh, the CMD. What were those? What's the retail price?
[Mark] CMD is $169.95.
$169.95. Alright.
Empire EVS
Empire EVS. One of my favorite goggles, to be honest, just due to the wide range of vision. This is a very, very big goggle. Once again, all these fancier goggles have the tri-layer removable foam in case you sweat in it too much, or your dog gets a hold of it eats it. You can replace the foam extremely easy. Also on the inside of this goggle, you guys can do a quick change lens. Literally comes with red tabs and a little pry lever, change the lens, and you can see what they look like on the website. Other than that, it's a very large goggle for a lot of bigger guys out there. So it's extremely comfortable. The breathability... And Mark did you know you can also even change the front face plate? There's like a cover that goes on there.
[Mark] Oh, cool. I did not know that.
Yeah, so it clicks in here to the front and you can just add a different kind of color vibe to your EVS mask. These things are awesome. And these retail right around $179.95? Yeah, $179.95. I was going to say that. Okay.
[Mark] I like the EVS 'cause I feel like an astronaut with that huge window.
It's huge. Yeah. I mean, you can see a lot on the field. Like I said, it's a choice of a lot of the bigger guys out there 'cause it covers a lot of your chin. You know? A smaller mask on me, like the Dye i5, isn't going to cover as much of my chin as the EVS will. So, this is why this goggle is making the top 2023. Okay.
HK Army SLR
HK Army did a great job with upgrading the original HK Army KLR to the SLR. The SLR has much more front end ventiallation which is what HK really focused on. This creates audible clarity on the field so that there’s not as much echo in your ears when calling out instructions and positions. The outer aesthetics of the goggle are also vastly improved over the original KLR.
On the inside of the mask, HK put 3D memory foam on both the head strap and the goggle foam. This strap clicks off easily so it can be changed in the event that it starts wearing out from use. There’s aslo an added pad on the back of the head strap that’s meant for increaed comfort in case you get bunkered which does happen occasionally. The headband also has texturing so that it doesn’t slide off easily if you take a bad dive; this mask will stay firmly fixed to your head. The HK Army SLR is just a great workhorse with constantly improving features which is why it’s earned a spot on our list of the best paintball masks.
JT Proflex
The JT Proflex is one of our favorite paintball masks in 2023 because of how modular and versatile it is. Nearly everything on the JT proflex can be swapped out or modded. In fact, it’s so customizable that you can buy the parts individually and then build your own mask with those parts. Apart from the modularity of the JT Proflex, it’s one of the cheaper masks on the market while also providing excellent protection against paintballs. The JT Proflex is also compatiable with earlier generations of the mask so you can still switch out lenses or other hardware from earlier generations.
Carbon Zero Pro
The Carbon Zero Pro goggle is, in our opinion, one of the best goggles on the market and is certainly the easiest to change the lenses. Changing a lense with the Carbon Zero Pro takes less than a minute and is very secure. Apart from the easy-change lenses, the low-profile design helps keep your profile as small as posssible while also maximizing protection. The mouth and chin guard are also malleable enough to prevent unnecessary breakage but strong enough to still protect your mouth and neck.
YouTube Question
[Mark] And, from the YouTube, we have a question from Ernando 521.
Ernando.
[Mark] Ernando. Honestly, which gun do you think shoots the smoothest, the CS2 or the GEO 4?
Wow. That's a good question. Honestly, I feel like the GEO 4 shoots smoother. Just going to say it.
[Mark] Alright.
That's it.
[Mark] There you go. You've got a question, leave it in the comments below. And like I said guys, tell us what mask you think is the best for 2023, and if you wear glasses and all those fun things that people want to know. And we will see you next time.
Thanks for watching.
