Well. if i understand the function of a mask fan, than its supposed to blow air into the lense area of your mask right?  That fan looks like its positioned to blow air out the nose hole.  But i could be wrong.

maybe if you attatcked the battery to te elastic strap on te back it wouldn't jump out so much.

ya it looks great is it to help breathing or to not fog the lense because if its for the lense its in the wrong spot. and the i think you should put the battery pack in your pocket or something and run a wire to it because that is a huge thing to put on the side of your mask.

sixtoes: actually it is sucking your breath away from you, bit im not shure how much i like it. im going to add a switch so i can change the direction    

duck_tape: im going to try to move it around to see where it goes best. i may put the batteries on my pack and just run a really long wire up to it, with plenty of slack for moving around

you could have just gotten a proto mask or a jt mask and got one of the two fans you can put on them. But ive heard nothing but bad reviews about them...

I have a fan that came out of a laptop to cool down the CPU. I have it on top of where the air vents are ontop of the googles blowing air down over the inside of the lens. I used Duck tape and sheet metal to create channels for the air to flow down. It is a 12 volt fan but a little 9 volt still makes it turn fast enough to keep the googles fog free. I have a switch aroung my chin area to turn it on and off. Radio Shack sells these CPU fans for 15 buck I believe. I have used the fan in dead of winter and dead of summer and it keeps me fog free even when I run around like a rabbit.
