nvaders are like PMI X-rays....yes they are pretty good...and that fan is not pointless....I have glasses and they do fog up alot but I never had the money for a proteus...I only have a x-fire single which fogs up my glasses like crazy....I need to find a solution....any help?

X-fire masks take OTG elite lenses. So you can buy a set of thermal lenses for the elite. or you can get anti fog inserts or anti fog spray.

Lots you can do. Purchasing a new lens is the best solution.

the only reason proteus ****ed up is becasue its really a BE product, they had to go ahead and take over a quality company and **** up the name.

Hey PetWoody ... Don't be a dufus. Every new product has the potential for a defect, even tried and true products can have problems. Just ask Firestone and Ford. I seriously doubt BE's acquisition of JT has nothing to do with the Proteous problem.

Hey Muck, the way you worded that, it makes it sound like BE did fuX0r up the Proteus. Sorry, I'm nitpicking.
