Safety is an important factor when getting your gear. People who are going to play paintball need to use a paintball mask. Not sunglasses, ski goggles, safety goggles, shooting glasses, or anything else. Paintball masks are made for the sport and must meet strict industry standards. Nothing else is specifically made to withstand the impact of a paintball going at over 270 mph.
Paintball lenses are larger, and thus offer much more peripheral vision than most other types of goggles. Paintball players need to be able to see out of the corner of their eye when wearing a mask. In a game, this could save someone from a sneak attack. Also, players must make sure they can comfortably look through their paintball gun sights with the mask on.
