Glasses vs Goggles vs Masks [POLL]

[Elts7]

Ive found bob heath works a treat in terms of anti fog. Been joggibg with them on so im nice and sweaty. Panting like s good un snd no fog what so ever. I spray each lense once and left to dry. Then again after and rubbed it in so it wasnt patchy or blury. Worth every penny of 6 quid imho

You'll be able to jog in a pair of £2.99 chinese clone glasses without fog because you're creating airflow.

The real test is being hot and sweaty, sitting still in a bush for 20 minutes on a cold day.

When i play paintball i use baby shampoo on the lens of my mask. It stops your eyes from stinging.i don't know if it will work with the closer fitting goggles but thats my 2 pence worth any way

 

[Roundel91]

still trying to find something that works for me. i sweat buckets at the thought of just running around.

Last game i played i used some revision sawfly glasses but the amount i was sweating meant they fogged up very quickly and to the point they were useless.

Borrowed a mesh mask and that was better, but because i wear glasses, i couldn't use them in conjunction with the mask.

I'm currently looking for some goggles with a fan that will fit over my glasses. cant get to any shops that may have these in stock though so buying on the web is going to be a bit of a gamble.

 

[Nicky blue eyes]

For fans try some of the (dare I say it) paintball shops most of the ones on line and based in England are pretty good. They might not have them but its worth a try

 

[jcheeseright]

Get some lens inserts.

 

[MikeMarden]

Has to be mesh goggles for me as I sweat too damn much so normal glasses are no good, also have a lower half face mask which covers my ears etc.

I also sweat may more than normal people do, I've been looking at full face masks from Valken http://www.valken.com/us-paintball/us-paintball-goggles but it seems it won't do the job 

I need a lot of air to fresh up otherwise I get really sweaty, so these fan options would be more suitable. the ess turbofan seems good but quite pricey

As another member of the sweaty Betty club. I have been desperately searching for some new eye pro as my revision bullet ants finally gave out yesterday (rubber around the seals split). 

I was looking at the ess ice glasses. Has anyone tried them and have an opinion. 

Another thought occurred to me regarding the issue of sweat.

I used to play American football and under the helmet a lot of the guys would wear a light weight beanie much like the stuff base layers were made from. This was to help wick away the sweat produced. 

Im not sure if this or even a sweatband would be a viable option with the upcoming summer.

As another unrealisticly moist man on the field, i got convinced to buy a  Dye I4 by my ex paintballer mate who i turned from the dark side to airsoft.

Used it yesterday, and it was like i wasn't wearing anything, no issues all day, just smashed it, i was properly blown away by how excellent it was. And this is with no other antifog product, just the natural lens in the i4.

I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who has issues with fog/moist/drippy goggles. Its well worth the money.

reading some reviews about the the Dye I4, it seems to be good, I'm tempted to try

 

[Kash]

Really light and comfortable,

I was also suprised how good the ventilation around the mouth is, think thats part of the reason why theyre practically immune to fog.

Well worth the money everyone else i play with swears by them too.

 

[djben9]

thats good to know, im just cautious about spending more money for it to fail on me!, we all work differently haha!....

i will though keep an eye out for deals incase i see a good bargain.

Is it easy to wear with any other head wear?

A friend of mine has just ordered the dyei4 mask I believe. 

They seem good, but he was a bit paranoid about the BB splitting the lens, so he has ordered another lens and will test it close/mid range before he takes to a field

 

[GemsHD]

I use a half face mask and clear goggles, my fix for the fogging goggle epidemic is to use windex or something similar to it and it stops fog appearing at all.

It wont split your friend is being paranoid.

I have a Dye i4 mask and have never had, or heard of, any issues with the lens cracking.  I have taken multiple shots, including full auto, to the lens at very close range.  You definately know that you have been hit, but no problem.   He is best buying a second lens so that he has two different ones, i.e one clear and one tinted for indoor/low light and ourdoor use.

I used to paintball a few years ago on the tourney scene. Trust me the lenses in the masks won't break. I have seen people test them with frozen paintballs and some very thick shelled paintballs as well as airsoft guns. 

I personally wouldn't wear a paintball mask for airsoft unless it was full on cqb. But that's just a personal preference thing.
