Dye - The I4 is their top mask at this point.
It has a "bird-of-prey" type look to it, which appeals to many players.

Proto - The Axis Pro, and Switch are two popular models with this pattern.

One of their masks, the Flex-8 is available as a full helmet style mask.
Tippmann - One mask in particular, which is endorsed by the US Military, is available in ranger style camo.
This is a very bland type of camouflage, but it does the trick, and the mask is cheap! BT - The Avatar is a great mask made to perform.
BT is a sister company to Tippmann, and is known for delivering quality gear to the paintball community - this mask is no different.
It comes in many digital patterns, from woodland to urban.
