I know if various parts this has been brought up a few times, but it would be nice if someone (store owner..) would review all three for hte the major parts and give us some kinda mini reviews.

Im buying One of these three and i want to know which i might like better. (of course i will be trying them for myself before i buy em but i want some ideas)

(After reading up on the E-vents threads and wearing them myself along with a profiler *I havent worn the avatar though*)

Profilers are a tried and true design that is known to work. After wearing them for so long I can say they are great.
The E-vents are supposedly awesome but the ear pieces have been found to be easily broken off.
Avatars are what I am looking at now with this soft ear stuff going on. I've heard the rubber is softer than the foam ears but I don't know about the ventilation of them. In my opinion they dont look as good as the E-vents but I would rather have a reliable mask.

Everyone has their opinion when it comes to masks though so I recommend if you get the chance try them on.

played with my E-vents this Saturday and I love them,wayyyy better than my Flex 8, Invision, or Profiler. It takes literally less than a minute to take out thw lens, and it comes with two lenses, a tinted and clear one, I can;t comment on the Avatar though they have one at my store but I didn't get to try it out

thanks for finding those videos.

If anyone cares I think im leaning most towards the Avatars but the profilers might get it after I go down to the store.

The E-vents dont have enough coverage to justify the hope of a bounce.
they scare me.
