thermal goggles

[cee124]

okay noob question, but considering i've only used rental masks i think this might be important to know.

does the thermal lenses actually prevent fogging up? i just got back from a day at the field where it was rainy and cloudy and i couldnt see a thing, i was pretty much taking potshots in the general direction i heard shooting from, and i figure this might not be the best tactic for winning.

so, do they work? and which ones would you guys recomend?

Rental masks=/= thermal. THermal lenses should eliminate fogging completely, and is USUALLY the case.
Depending on how much you want to spend, though you should cheap-out on masks.
VForce Profiler
JT Proflex
Proto Axis

proflex, i3, e-vents, avatars, axis, profiler.

the chances of fogging with a thermal mask is like 0.5/10. only time it could possibly fog is when its raining and water is getting all over your mask.

yah like i said, it was overcast and raining very very lightly......but it was fogged up to the point where i couldnt even see at all.

and i'm looking for something like $20-35, just something that works good.

I have played in pouring rain where there was water inbetween the two lenses and it still didn't fog up. Thermal lenses work quite well.

Don't cheap out on your mask you will regret it. Get something nice like the JT proflex or somethign along those lines.
