JT and Scott were the first manufactures of paintball goggles, until a new player stepped into the game " Vents". In the early 1990s the Vents Predator goggle system provided traditional goggle coverage for the eyes with hard protection over the center of the face, and soft protection for the neck and sides of the face. Its primary marketing focus centered around the goggle system's airflow design which minimized fogging by separating the vents for hot humid breathing air from the vents that allowed air flow to the space between the goggle lens and eyes. Thats how it got it's name "Vents"

Review:
The vents mask was a good mask that never fogged or failed on me. Very nicely designed mask. These are about $70 now? Hard to find, vintage mask. The lenses are single panel but there is enough air holes all around the mask to prevent fogging. Soft foam, wraps around your face, full head protection.
Key Strengths: Very great padding, soft and strong
The whole mask is made of this strong, flexible, soft foam. The only thing hard is the lenses.
The lenses give a great range of view.
No Fogging!
Cool alien look and feel.
Key Weaknesses: neck guard can fall off or get in the way.
Some lens have been returned because of cracking when a paintball hit them
Conclusion:
A great mask to have and its sad that these have stopped manufacturing these. Very old school mask.
