  • Full face protection

Empire is a big name in the paintball world, but with their latest release, they have decided to target the better of the two combat shooting sports, Airsoft of course! The EVS Full Face mask is constructed with a rigid polymer shell with a rubber over mould, with lightweight foam with mesh inserts for cooling surrounding the ears. 

This, the "Lurker" version is finished with a grass-style green camouflage scheme, making it a fantastic choice for concealment in grassy woodland environments. If you need full-face protection but want to blend in more effectively in a natural environment, the EVS Lurker lets you do just that. If you like the shape of the EVS but prefer something a bit more loud and proud when it comes to colour schemes, check out the Geo Grunge version here!

The mask comes with a tinted dual lens pre-installed, and a clear dual lens in the box, meaning whether the sun is out at the woodland site, or you are stalking through a dark CQB site, you will have a great view of your targets. The dual lens configuration guarantees impressive anti-fog performance in all weather conditions and the ability to switch lenses quickly means you'll get the clearest view of your target regardless of the ambient lighting conditions. If you're looking for something a bit different than the Dye i5 with similar performance and optimised for Airsoft, the Empire EVS Geo Grunge Full Face Airsoft Mask should suit you perfectly!

Full description

Description

The Empire EVS is a very advanced design, building on feedback from their earlier designs and other rival masks such as the Dye i5 series to provide a comfortable and secure yet flexible mask with superb optical clarity and a 270° field of view through the massive front lens.

This is the "Lurker" version, named for its grass green camouflage pattern styled similarly to "Real Tree" camo patterns. If you operate in a grassy woodland environment, the EVS Lurker is what you need to stay protected and concealed. Packaged with a clear lens and a Ninja lens, the EVS gives you the option to quickly switch out your clear lens for the tinted Ninja lens to cope with changing ambient lighting conditions. 

The EVS is held onto your head by a combination of a helmet-style chinstrap and a goggle style elasticated strap, ensuring the mask stays safely on your head and does not move around as you do. This strap is fully adjustable and would suit practically any head size while remaining comfortable. This mask is larger in overall form when compared to the Dye i5, providing more protection under the chin. The mask also has a more aggressive look than the i5, making it a great alternative to the speed soft staple. 

One of the main areas Empire chose to focus on for the EVS was breathability, recognised as a weakness of many full face mask designs, both for Airsoft and Paintball. The lower face shield of the EVS is made from flexible yet robust rubber with angled breathing ports on either side and further triangular ports in the centre. The side ports are angled in a way which allows them to be relatively large whilst preventing any BBs from coming through. The centre ports are relatively wide, and for close-range encounters, Empire has included an insert which can be clipped in to close off some of these ports and reduce their size to prevent any possibility of BB fragments coming through.

The EVS is supplied with two lenses; one clear and one tinted, known as the "Ninja lens". Both of these lenses are dual lenses which help resist fogging. Both lenses supplied have a scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coating which blocks out harmful UVA/B radiation and prevents glare from giving your location away. The lenses can be quickly swapped out thanks to the EVS's toolless quick swap lens system, so if the sun goes down you can run to the safe zone, swap lenses and be back in time for some more kills! Inside the mask, you will find two pull arms, one on either side of the lens. With this arms pulled out the lens can simply be lifted out and swapped.

The internal foam padding inside the EVS is very soft and comfortable, meaning no matter what your head size you will have an easy time wearing this premium mask. The foam is also hypoallergenic meaning no need to worry about it irritating sensitive skin. Surround the ears the EVS features thermoformed ear padding, which protects your ears from BB strikes whilst allowing you to hear perfectly thanks to the mesh ports allowing sound through. Those of you that have been paintballing will know many paintball masks cause communication issues due to covering the ears and reflecting the wearer's voice directly back into their ears inside the mask due to a rigid polymer face piece. We are happy to report that this is not an issue with the EVS, thanks to its considerate design and rubber face piece.

Hot on the heels of the Dye i5, the Empire EVS is one of the best full-face options out there for Airsofters, and is built to last many years of safe fun. If you're in search of a high-quality anti-fog full-face mask but want to disappear in a woodland environment, the Empire EVS Lurker Full Face Airsoft Mask will suit your needs perfectly!
