What type of mask do you use? What one is the best? I was also wondering if anyone uses that goggle flauge or whatever it is called. I don't see mech point in it, but mabye there is. Is the Scott ****** any good?
Thanks,

I know...fogging sux. I put anti-fog on the lenses and it still fogged which sux for me. Is there any way other than a fan to reduce fogging without a thermal system until I can get one?

Stop breathing. j/k :)
Some guys I know put a thin layer of liquid soap on there lenzes. They say it works for them. I don't know if it does though.

what do you mean a thin layer, do I wipe it off after I put it on cause I can't imagine you'd be able to see that well out of it after you put it on no matter how little it will screw around with your perseption ya know

They water it down at little so it is a thin layer of soapy water.

I've been wearing a Raven Nuvis for three weeks now. It's a Sweet mask. The lens is photochromatic, it darkens in bright sunlight (not too much, it's just right). The tint is close to Amber in that it makes greens and blacks stand out more. The lens has a no fog coating fused into it, and the lens is made of polyurethane which is about 40 percent stronger than regular polycarbonate lenses found in JT, Scott and other masks.
It is a very light mask and has thick foam which draws sweat away from your face. It also comes with a quick release clasp on the strap, which can be a pain in the Arse. A regular strap is available for it. The styling is very distinctive and stands out in a crowd.
Best part, has 285 degrees of periphereal vision, much more than any other mask on the market.
I paid $72 and some change for mine. I'm not sure how this compares to other masks, but it's well worth it.

Yeah i rock a nuvis also that thing is the nicest mask ever. i had a pmi and the junk foged like crazy so i would only have like a lil strip i could see out of. but my nuvis is extremly comfortable. ya can hardly tell you have it on. i think its the best out there even if it cost a lil more.

No airsteam's are not that old. They came out in 99. Were replaced by alpha's and invaders in 2000 though.
The softsteams are kinda old school though, they where JT's entry level mask before the airstream

I had an nVader, it's not a bad mask for entry level, but it's completely made of hard plastic, no hope for a bounce if you get gogged. I like the styling on the Alpha a bit better, and it's a bit more flexible.

Ihave that crappy BE system that I said before, it sux bigtime cause even though its all rubber it never bounces and it has very little visual but I painted it camo so its harder to see.

What one is the best? The one YOU like.(as long as it safe)
goggle flauge or goggle skinz
flauge is a camo you put over the mask. It restricts air flow. So it may cause so extra fogging. Also not neccessery if just playing speed ball. In woods very nice. About $20
Skinz you put on your lens kinda makes them into sunglasses. They come with camo, words, or wild colors/ pictures. There are some very sweet looking ones. They do not come off the lens so when lens brakes there goes skin. Also it makes it alittle hard to clean a goggle shot. About $10

I have A Jt Nvader and I have to say I love this mask! It is a the best mask out as far as protection the molded plastic covers my complete face forehead and ears.It needs a thermal lense pain and simply put... I am constantly moving and therefore sweat alot and my goggles seem to fog up 45 mins into a game.I also wear a my hat backwards so it cover the back of my neck.I have seen and tried other mask and this is a dream compared to most masks for one reason or another. I hate the flexible rubber some mas are made out of you take a hit you feel it rock yur head.... where as with the Nvader if you get hit anywhere on the mask it doesn't hurt at all.To me this is a very big plus I don't mind getting shot but not in the head...
