Originally Written by death dealer on the MilSimOG, I am just adding it to the MilSimE and it is his info. It is good info and I would like to see it live on after the MilsimOG is no more. Thank you death dealer for the info.

just picked it up at cousins franklin store .
although i wanted the lizard green(olive green and brown)but i read/and heard that it wont be out till march along with the specops digicam "it matches the fusion gear perfect".so i decided to get the all black one."black matches with everything,so it will work if i decide to play indoors

in my opinion this mask is superior to any other mask out today.
the mask is very very light and compact and takes the contours of your face, so it has a very low profile
the ease of removing the lens is unreal it take less than 3-4 seconds . the lens is thick and has a very light tint barely noticable ,but enough to reduce some sun glare .
the other option and another plue is the removal of the foam.which also is qucik release as long as you have a coin in your pocket being that you have to unscrew a tab 1/2 turn .
it has very soft ears and frontal area,so there is alot of bounce factor to them.
while i was there i also checked out the new dye since they had them in the same display . i belive the lens of the grill is identical,or simalar to the dye as far as vision but other than that .the grill has options that make the dye design obsolete. it comes down to preference as far as looks ,some people hate the look of the grill but it is a superior in every other aspect.,weight ,bounce, profile lens removal ,foam quick change.
also a while back i was interested in the JT proflex7.i belive that it compares to it . as far as weight , bounce,and vision, factor again the grills options and it make the grill a superior design.
i had a pair of profliers ,but im not going to compare it to the proflier ,since this mask was made to replace the design ,and it did with flying colors .

i rate it a 10

No, but they sell them at a field near me. When I get the cash, I'll have to try them out.

Also, thanks for the review! Maybe I'll get a pair for x-mas, heh.

I recently picked up a Grill and I was going to do a full review on it, but instead I will just post my thoughts about it here.

First let me say that the first mask I ever bought was a V-Force. I found, after much research, that the field of vision it offered was unmatched by any other mask. The other benefits was how easy it was to change out the lense AND how infrequently it fogged (you should still use Fog Tech...nothing is perfect)

So, I recently decided to upgrade to a Grill. With the performance of the Profiler and other V-Force masks for my team over the years, I figured it was a no-brainer....I was wrong.

1. It's a bit smaller so more of your face sticks out the bottom. For chubby guys like me, that tends to be a bit more square inches of bare skin to be used as a target. I don't know if you guys realize this, but those darn paintballs sting when you get hit with them!

2. The new system V-Force came up with to swap out the lenses is cumbersome at best. With my old mask, there was no way I was going to lose the clips for the lense during change out as they were run thru the strap, now it's a good chance since they come right off. But that is another issue:

3. Getting the clips off to change the lense is a *********! Could they have made it more awkward?

4. The lense is a bit smaller so you actually get a bit less range of vision than the earlier models.

I will say that the foam replacement idea is a great one. I love that I can just swap out my nasty sweaty foam for day 2 of a weekend scenario.

What do the rest of you Grill owners think?
