Picked up a new pair of Vforce Profilers 2 recently and finally got a change to hit the field with them.   Used to wearing the original Profilers but has since moved and recently have been wear a Grill mask.

Switching from the Grill to the Profiler 2 mask was huge difference.  The Profiler 2 uses the same lenses as the original, which provide a massive field of view, especially compared to the tight sight lines of the Grill.   I had excellent peripheral vision didn’t feel enclosed like I do with the Grill.

Now one of the biggest benefits, and a reason I really like the Profiler 2s is the protection it offers.   My 9-5 can be very formal, so can’t have marks on my face (and my wife says I’m not pretty enough to get uglier).   So I value protection over bounce.   With my Grill mask I’ve been left spitting paint on multiple occasions, and once getting a fat lip.  I took several shots to the mouth and nose area of the mask, which broke on the mask.   Neither shells nor paint got behind the mask onto my face, which I appreciate. 

The Profiler 2 also offers move coverage for your jaw and chin, and there is ample room between my mask and my face, something that was an issue with my Push Unite.  That said the fit and finish is not as premium Push mask, but the Profiler is significantly cheaper. 

Wearing the mask for several rounds I found it to be quite comfortable.  The soft years were great and did not put any pressure on my ears. The mask stayed put (not that I was sprinting or sliding) and strap was easy to adjust. 

While I’m not exactly thrilled with the look of the mask (the original Profiler looked better) the fit, protection and field of view make these my go to mask.   I brought my Grill 2 mask to try out as well, but after wearing the Profiler 2 I did not want to go back to the Grill mask. 

Eventually I would like to try a Virtue Vio mask and compare it directly to the Profiler 2. Hopefully I find one that’s a good price I can pickup. 

TLDR: Excellent of vision with better protection and comfort.  Profiler 2 are now my primary go-mask.
