What paintball masks work with glasses?

My friends and I have just returned to paintball after a rather lengthy break (in my case nearly 20 years). At this point I wear glasses and found that the field masks just wouldn’t stay seated if I were wearing my glasses. Since I’m effectively blind without them I need to find a mask that fill fit over my glasses.
Any recommendations?

The vforce profiler and grill both have large expanded lenses that will fit your glasses. The profiler is the older version and is cheaper than the grill. Your best bet is to just go out to your local field and try on a variety of masks to see which one is most comfortable and fits the best.

Ah, a problem I myself have when selecting a mask. If you’re looking for a cheaper mask with your glasses, I highly recommend the Proto Switch, as it allows your glasses to sit comfortably inside your mask. (Provided you’re not wearing oversized Aviators, or what not) As the name of the mask implies, it is cheap and easy to switch out the goggles if you need to replace them, and they run for approximately $30, they are comfortable and easy to use with glasses and overall are great masks.
I personally wear glasses and use Proto Switch goggles when I go airsofting, it’s somewhat annoying to remove the goggles as your glasses sometimes get pulled off aswell, but it’s completely tolerable.
Hope this helps!
