"Hi. This is Robert Stewart, with Hill13.com. Now when you're talking about a mask, you can invest anywhere from about 15 to 110 dollars on a mask, depending on the brand and the number of features you want in it; whether you want anti-glare or anti-fog finishes, fans and what not. So you can overbuild a mask and invest quite a bit of money in one, just to make it trick. But the mask, whether it's a standardized mask or a very expensive mask, is a strict compliance issue. And it's really the golden rule in paintball. If you go to a reputable field, you're going to be required to wear it. If you and your friends go out and you're playing in a field somewhere, make sure that you're all wearing the proper headgear. Failure to do so could cause you a lifetime of regret, if someone were to be injured. So don't let an ASTM sticker on a pair of snowmobile glasses fool you. If they're not made for paintball you really don't want to use them. So remember, always, first and foremost, wear a proper mask."
