JT Proflex
The JT Proflex is one of our favorite paintball masks in 2024 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 compatible 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.
