WARNING
Read and follow carefully the instructions and warnings contained in this
manual. Failure to observe all instructions and warnings could lead to severe
or permanent injuries. Remember that your mask cannot offer protection in all
situations.
- ALWAYS wear your mask when you are within or near an area in which paintball markers are being used or when using or handling a paintball marker.
- NEVER remove or lift your mask in the playing area, even if the lens fogs or gets dirty. If your mask accidentally comes off, throw yourself on the ground and protect your eyes.

- Make sure the lens and the lens retention clips are firmly in place before wearing the mask.
- Before the beginning of the game, all paintball markers must be chronograph had to ensure that the speed of the paintballs does not exceed 300 f.p.s. (91 m/s). Higher speeds could exceed the resistance limits of your mask and lead to serious or permanent injury. Do not play if the speed of the paintballs exceeds 300 f.p.s., or if speed is not verified.
- Always follow all safety rules regarding the game and the handling of paintball markers.
- In rare cases, any mask may cause irritation and should not be worn by persons who are subject to dermatitis. Discontinue the use of the mask immediately in case of irritation and consult your physician.
- Always wear your mask with a visor and chin strap securely attached as per instructions.
PROPER MASK FIT
Check that the strap is inserted properly in the slots provided in the mask,
and that it fits snugly around your head. Ensure that the foam around the lens
sits closely around your eyes.
The mask’s chin strap should be fastened and secured at all times during play.
Simply adjust the chin strap so it rests comfortably against your chin, then
fasten the srap buckles.
WARNING
Before each game, breathe on the inside surface of the lens.
If it fogs up before you use your mask: replace the lens or treat it with
VForce anti-fog solution.
MASK AND LENS CARE
Your ARMOR™ mask Has a single pane polycarbonate lens that has been treated
with a Thermo-Cured Anti-Fog coating. More information on the lens is provided
in the next section of this manual.
CLEANING
- Clean your lens within two hours of any contact with paintball fills or residues. Remove the lens from the mask to ensure that all surfaces of the lens and the mask are thoroughly cleaned with clean water.
- Use only clean warm water to clean the lens. DO NOT USE any other products or cleaners, as they could contain substances that may damage or weaken the lens, or reduce the Anti-Fog effect. Change the lens if it has come in contact with chemical products or fumes.
- To dry the lens, simply air dry, or use a clean soft cloth or micro-fiber on the outside of the lens. DO NOT RUB THE INSIDE OF THE LENS. DO NOT USE substances that could scratch or dull the lens, like newspaper, paper towels, or clothing. It is normal for the anti-fog coating on the inside surface to go through a tacky phase while drying. To dry this surface, blot with a soft clean cloth and let it dry. Do not rub the inside, as it will streak, and you will have to begin again.
ANTI-FOG TREATMENT
- Despite the longest-lasting ThermoCuredT™ Anti-Fog process available, over time the unit-fog process available, over time the anti-fog treatment may lose its effectiveness. When this happens, only use the VForce™ Anti-Fog solution. Do not use any other products, since it could weaken or damage the lens.
STORAGE
- Ensure that your VForce™ mask is clean before storing it. Protect the lens against impacts and scratches. Store your mask in a cool, clean, and dry place, far from chemical products or fumes and protected from high temperatures.
WARNING
No paintball mask can prevent fogging under all conditions. If your lens fogs
up NEVER remove your mask in the playing area!
