Re: which one?

I use Profilers as well. I have a big head, and wear glasses. The Profilers were the only mask I tried on that allowed me to wear my glasses and not feel like my head was being squeezed.

I highly suggest trying on as many masks as you can. All of the higher end masks are about the same in terms of fogging. It's all about what feels best to you.

A lot of people (myself included) miss this, and one day suddenly find themselves fogging.
Could you post a link to where i can get these. I just got a used profiler, and chances are the anti-fog is wearing off.

Re: which one?

I swear there was just a thread about this, maybe on another forum, but heres my .02 I have the Proto Switch EL, the cheap ones with no theremal lense, and I have never had a fogging problem so long as I had on a bandana. And there comfortable too.

Re: which one?

hmm, that would be handy for any lenses i would think.

I wouldn't use it on any double-paned thermal lenses - they work by a different mechanism.

Re: which one?

I have two of the JT Thermals - a black one and a green one. Not the coolest looking any more, but they work amazingly well. I never have to think about my breathing, or did I remember my bandana, or maybe I should buy a fan, in fact I've had water running down the inside before and never any fog. Cleaning is with some plastic lens cleaner used for glasses and a microfiber cloth. I always recommend replacing your lenses once a year for safety and I'm sure that contributes to the ability of the mask to stay fog-free.

Re: which one?

I love my i3's. I've had them for a year or two now and not once have they fooged... unlike my old Scott goggles...

Extremely comfortable, looks cool, never fogs. The only thing I have to say is the profile is on the bigger side, and they do weigh more than some other masks but it's nothing to complain about, just a note.

The one thing to complain about it is chaning the lense. It's a killer on the fingers. I don't like clear lenses where people can see my eyes and eyebrows, it's just an annoyance to me. So I got some smoke (black) lenses and I love them (except in the woods, where it's hard to make things out with a clear lense.) People on here tend to stay clear so if you are too, the changing of a lense shouldn't concern you unless you crack one.

I gett shot in the lense a ton and after wiping it off and using a circular cleaning motion with a clean rag, I can still say I never have problems with fogging.
