Mask Maintenance

An inevitable part of playing paintball frequently is a shot to the mask. If the lens becomes covered in paint, it is important that the player not simply wipe the paint off, as doing so will cause debris to scratch the lens. The player should leave the field and when they get a chance and clean off the lens using water and a towel or a piece of cloth.

A good trick is to buy a cheap small spray bottle and spray water onto the lens rather than pouring it on. Use only a clean cloth on the mask; paper towels will scratch the lenses.

Anti-fog spray is also available, which coats the lens in a temporary fog-resistant film. It is suggested that lenses be replaced every season.
