I'm at the end of my rope with this one. I, for the life of me, cannot decide which mask I want. I have narrowed it down to this. Empire E Vents, Dye Invision or I3, Proto Axis, Proto Switch FS or VForce Profilers. Now, thats alot to choose from. I've heard great things about all the masks. I just need to know what you guys prefer based on EXPERIENCE, no oppinions please, becuase if I thaught I'd get anywhere on oppinions I'd have solved this a while ago. I play mostly woodsball but I like the excitement of a speedball game here and there to mix things up, and plan on playing more of it. I also live in Maryland, where it gets into the low 100's sometimes. I also sweat like a pig. I also where glasses. However, I will most likely be getting contacts since even if my mask doesn't fog, my glasses do. So is there a goggle system with a good quiet fan that would help with the fogging of my glasses, or should I just give up on that and get contacts? Thanks for all the help guys. -------------

| Since you wear glasses, get the profiler, very low profile and soft for extra bounces, plus they are thermo cured so that they dont fog. They are the most glasses friendly mask. As for the problem with your glasses fogging, just spray them with anti fog( Dont spray thermal lenes of your googles). |

If you're going to stick with glasses, go with the Profiler. If you're getting contacts, I'd go with an Invision. My friend has one and it's really nice.

i own both a profiler and invision. i wear the profilers whenever i can. the invisions offer better face protection because of the harder shell, but less neck protection even though neither have great neck coverage. i find that the invision fogs more, don't know why, there is a thermal lens in there, but i don't have the problem with the profilers. i also wear glasses and the profilers are great, the invisions are pretty good too with room. over all, i'd go with the profilers. much much easier to change the lens, great field of vision (also, a friend of mine who wore events at the last chicago psp said that the field of vision in events weren't as good as profilers... and he switched back to his profilers in the middle of the tourny)... |
