Which mask works WELL with glasses? - Page 3

Vents are supposed to have a fan coming out at some point, but their new stuff seems to see a lot of delays.

They will.

The only mask I ever used that (almost) never let my glasses fog were the OLD Vents Predators.

$95!?! That's nuts...and you still have to get prescription inserts made.

I did the same exact thing in the old days by simply taking a spare pair of eyeglasses, removing the temples, and securing them to the mask. It does help to move the glasses away from your face, and anti fog helps as well but it was never a perfect solution, for me at least.

Shoot, for $95 I'll make you your own custom mask fans. Hell, for that price I'd think about making you your own eyeglass inserts out of aluminum.

V force and Vents both were very low air circulation masks for me. It got hot inside, my breath was trapped and condensation would actually drip off the mask after heavy playing.

That happened to me as well... It didn't fog at all though, and it wasn't uncomfortable. I don't wear glasses, though.

Actually, the $95 includes grinding of the inserts to your prescription. Frames+prescription = $95. Not bad really.

I have wider than normal frames and use Vforce goggles pretty much exclusively. I found a small mod to the goggles pretty much eliminates glasses fogging, I tape up the bottom vents below the lense. Sounds counter productive since it severely limits total air flow, but it keeps the humid air from my breath away from my glasses and lense. As long as I'm not sweating like I'm in a sauna I'm good to go.

They do fog up. Though not too bad. I have two pairs of Flex 7's, and they both keep a lot of fog down. Though after playing hard, they fog slightly. I tend to have more of a problem with my glasses fogging up under the masks. No matter which mask I use. The JT line I just have better luck with than any other,

I have very expensive eyes (expensive prescription glasses, and they are NOT bottle-cap-thick ones), and cannot see squat clearly with them off unless it's inches from my face. So, I HAVE to wear glasses when playing paintball.

For me, V-force masks have been a DREAM. The big wide lens also affords alot of space for glasses, and also aids in fog reduction. I've had narry a fog problem since I was given my Profiler mask in Christmas 2005. Wonderful WONDERFUL mask for a glasses wearer. The only v-force masks that are NOT glasses-friendly are the ones which are entry/rental-level masks: the vantage and the armor. The shield, morph, profiler, and grille are ALL very good for glasses wearers, and give great field of view (I sometimes forget I'm wearing a mask if I go by field-of-view alone. my peripheral vision STOPS when looking straight ahead before the field of view does on the lens). Also, great ventilation, and easy lens cleaning.

They're worth the cost ANY DAY.

My glasses fit in my Flex frames alright, not sure about the fogging issues though.

My Sandana has a sweat cloth and I don't sweat much out of my forehead, so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.
