What is the difference, I know thermal is probably better, because it costs like 10 bucks more, but I dont know the difference. Anyone wanna help?

Thermal lenses are double-paned lenses that are supposed to prevent fogging.
Guesswho?

Get thermal, since it is gonna help fogging, you might as well get it. Just use anti-fog spray and you wont fog, i think that is worth it.

yeah, high quality lenses shouldnt seperate....i have x-fires
haha, we got almost all the jt mask peeps in here saying that our lenses dont seperate, kinda says how good jt is
anyways, the only problem with thermal is if you get gogged near then edges of the lenses, sometimes paint will go between the lenses, if you look carefully, a lot of worn out masks have a little bit
its doesnt really affect vision though, also getting water in there is a pain in the *** (esp in rain), but then so is fogging (esp in rain)

thermal is one thing that you should get no mater what. I would get a thermal lens before i got a barrel. At least that way i can actually see what im shooting at. rather then shoot at something i cant even see.
Playing in the rain with a thermal lens is pretty pointless though. i know, i've done it.

if its raining too much you wont be able to see no matter what mask youve got

get v-force goggles, they have an anti-fog coating instead of thermal lenses but they fog less than my spectra lenses.
my bro has the v-force armor and it is by far the best goggle in the price range.
