Valken Annex MI-9

The thermal lens system is highly effective for most playing conditions. By creating a thermal barrier between the inner and outer lens panes, it significantly reduces the temperature differential that causes fogging, keeping your vision clear even during high-exertion play.

Yes, the flexible rubber lower is specifically designed to balance durability with comfort. It is robust enough to withstand direct hits while allowing for better movement and a more natural fit against your face compared to rigid plastic masks.

The patented quick-release system is designed for speed and simplicity. You can remove and replace the lens in seconds without needing any tools, which is ideal if you need to switch between clear and tinted lenses during a tournament or for quick cleaning between matches.

The dual-layer foam is engineered to provide a secure seal while maintaining comfort. The inner layer is soft against the skin, while the outer layer provides the necessary structure to keep the mask stable on your face during active movement.

Yes, the angled vents are positioned to promote consistent airflow. This design helps pull fresh air into the mask and exhaust hot, humid air, which keeps you cooler and further assists in preventing lens fogging.

The MI-9 is designed with an emphasis on peripheral awareness, offering an expansive vertical field of view. This allows you to see more of the ground and your immediate surroundings, which is a distinct advantage when navigating obstacles or looking down at your marker.
