I use a JT double layer thermal lens, Granted it does get moist inside the mask but the lens has never fogged on me yet. I've been using the same style mask for over 15 years now. A few years ago I was walking a fire trail in a game and a buddy on my team came up behind me with his fan running. I turned to him and stated that his fan was loud. His response. 'What?" I repeated, Your fan, Is loud. His reply, "Hang on, Let me turn this thing off so I can hear you." I was less then 5 feet from him. Now, This is obviously my personal opinion. But why have a mask that requires battery's and the loss of your ability to hear whats going on around you when you can get a mask that wont fog in the first place. Granted wearing glasses you don't have many options. My hearing sucks so I have to have every advantage that I can get.
