mask fogging

Go spend the money and get a good quality mask. I personally own a v-force profiler and it has never fogged or had any problems. Don't expect much from a cheaper mask.

its the stock mask that came wiht my tippman 98 but the foam that fits around ur eyes jsut pretty much soaks up all the sweat and keeps the moisture right there, its not a thermal jsut a single pane

I'm assuming you're a newbie, but alot of times the increased heart rate from getting excited about the game can cause you to sweat and breathe heavier than you normally would, causing it to fog up quicker. once you get used to the game, you'll calm down while still getting that one-of-a-kind rush, so that should help. But a better mask will def. help. i had great luck with a Vforce Armor, but any of the higher-end masks with thermal lenses would be a surefire hit.

well im pretty new only been paintballin for a couple of years and all woodsball wiht the guys  but it does get pretty serious lol but im pretty sure its not my breath so i might try to put some rubber or something around the foam in my mask to get a better seal and so the foam wont soak any of my sweat up

sorry

alright lol well that jsut about sums up that issue. im just gonna buy a quality thermal mask. thanks

Honestly, your best bet is to spend the extra 40+ dollars and get a thermal lens mask. I have a Proto Switch FS mask and love it. I am a big sweaty dude and I have no issues with this mask fogging.

Also check the New Player Forum under "which mask is right for you" for some suggestions.

My stock Tippmann mask never fogs. What I do is get some dish soap like Dawn or whatever, squirt a couple dots on the inside of the lens and rub it into the lens with my finger. After its rubbed in as much as I can WITHOUT causing it to foam, I get a cloth and rub/wipe it off. My friends and I play some intense woodsball for a couple hours everytime and my mask never fogs.

I also ripped off the top foam strip since all it does is absorb sweat. I wear a bandana which acts like the foam and catches all the sweat before it reaches the lens. On the bottom foam piece I just applied a strip of camo cloth tape which doesn't absorb sweat, makes wearing the mask a lot more comfortable.

Like I said, never fogs and I breathe and sweat like a dog. I also wear underarmor under my camo to absorb the sweat and keep it from dripping everywhere which makes me sweat even more, still no fog.

Here's what I do to keep my mask from fogging... oh wait, I don't have to do anything, I have a thermal lense mask.

You need to get a double plated mask.  Single plated will fog in any weather, you need to spend at least $50 to get a good quality mask.
