dont blow 50+ bucks on that crappy fan... i just put a tiny computer fan on my mask, switch and everything. it cost me five dollars and probly works better. i did put some nylon mesh over it to keep out debris, but you can choose your voltage rating.

And a hit with one ball will have that gummed up to the point of failure... hmm... maybe hung under a visor.
Naw - just get a Vforce Shield and you wont need a fan.

well, don't pick on him, you'd be amazed how many people do this. They go down to radio shack and buy a 486cup comp fan, and I think you can run it off one of those rectangular 9v batteries. They are supposed to move 10 times more air than on of those little paintball fans. I was thinking of doing it to my mask cause I fog up alot, but I didn't know they wern't tourney legal. It dosen't matter where I live though, I have a bunch of half-drunk rednecks who run our local tourneys.

SOME touneys don't allow "modications" done to masks. Actually the CPU fan is a good idea. Some ppl with glasses NEED a fan :) I have an X-Wind on my JT Spectras. Every day at the field I have this conversation with someone, "What's that on your goggles?" "A fan." "Was it expensive?" "It cost more than my goggles."
