You might think you've seen the Morph before or might mistaken it for a former Brass Eagle helmet.  Let me tell you it's not and this is a common mistake.  Brass Eagle had ZLeader make them helmets to sell under the BE brand name, manufactured to BE specs.  The helmet BE sold that most closely resembles the Morph is their Pro series helmet which has now been discontinued.  With BE's purchase of JT, their relationship with ZLeader was terminated.  V-Force emerged to build a new state of the art helmet and to use ZLeader as the optical lens manufacturer for that helmet.  The lens is the ONLY similarity between the old BE helmets and the V-Force helmets.

INITIAL IMPRESSION:  The helmet feels solid.  The part under the lens is solid plastic, then the black mesh is a flexible design.  However it's not 'mushy' like the Flex7, it's molded and holds it's shape while at the same time it has give.  Protection wise it covers as much as a the JT Flex7 and both leave your neck rather exposed.  So if you're worried about getting neck shots, i'd recommend picking up a neck guard.  

The lens portion has foam all around it to seal the helmet on your head and help keep moisture from your nose/mouth away from the lens.  Additionally the nose piece is vented to let air escape as is the whole bottom of the helmet and the top of the goggle.  All this along with a curved lens makes for great ventilation with no fogging in the heat of battle, no fan needed.

The Morph comes with a visor that you have to install.  Installation is easier than a JT visor in some respects but more of a pain in others.  First you have to get this thing centered which consists of counting the venting slots and lining it up.  There's no mark on the vents to mark the middle which would make things faster.  The visor supports just slide into the vents easily without a lot of pushing and messing around like the JT visor.  To hold the visor in place you just attach 4 small O rings to the bottom of the supports.

Lets talk about the lens itself.  It has as much peripheral vision as the Flex7 as you can see from the pictures.  However it's thermal treated and manufactured by ZLeasder, optical lens masters.  The single pane design gives you optically superior vision.  This gives you a definite edge on your competition.  The Morph Mirror series helmets come with mirrored lenses matching the color accent of your helmet.  The thermal treated lens helps eliminate fogging and the lack of a really delicate internal lens helps improve the lens durability.  Also this lens is easily and quickly changed.  To switch lenses you simply unsnap the side at the strap and lift it out of position.  Put the new one in, line it up to the supports and then lock it back into position.  I think the current record is 4.5 seconds for a lens change which is HUGE over a Flex7 that takes 20 minutes and tools.

lastly lets talk about comfort, after all you're going to be wearing this thing for hours.  This helmet sits like a dream!  The foam is very soft and comfortable on your face.  The strap holds the helmet in place and it doesn't bounce around or shake as you run with it.

Just overall cosmetically i like the more curvy design of the  Morph to the more boxier Flex7.  It looks a little more compact and tight.

So what are the downsides of the helmet?  Well there aren't many that I can see right out of the box.  The rear strap supports i think are a little too flimsy.  This lets the strap slide out quick easily which doesn't really affect much but it's more of a fit and finish problem (shown on the side view below).  Also the way the visor flaps sit on the edge of the helmet i think could have been made better as well.  It's easy for the little visor tabs at the side to slip to the inside of the helmet instead of the outside.  You can see it on the side picture below.  I think the side part of the visor should have been made longer and sit lower.   Maybe also have a small tab so it actually connects to the side of the helmet.  But both of these are very minor fit and finish issues.

ON FIELD REVIEW 

Ok i finally had a chance to get to the field and play.  Let me tell you, i tested this thing in a lot of different conditions all in one day.  The day started out at 50 degrees followed by drizzle which makes it highly likely to fog.  Then we got a sun break for a while, then pouring down rain followed by hail followed by more drizzle and finally sun.  Nightmare day huh?  Well through it all, the Morph DID NOT FOG !  I was truly impressed!

Let me tell you, it's very cool being the only one on the field with a helmet like this.  You field a lot of questions, have a unique look and overall it's just cool not looking like everyone else :>

Vision was superior.  I was able to easily pick up the smallest amount of movement and shadows well beyond what I could with my Flex7.   Although the vision clarity is much better than a dual pane lens of the Flex7, peripheral vision i would rate to be about the same.  

Lastly even though it's a single pane lens, i'd recommend NOT touching the inside just like the JT Thermals.  The inside is treated with a thermal protection coating.  This coating can and will wear and become less effective over time.  VForce has a treatment spray you can apply, but i don't think it'll ever be as good from the factory. So be careful, touch the inside of the lens as little as possible and NEVER use anything but water when cleaning it.
