    Speaking as someone that has had so many problems with fogging, and can't see spending $100 on a mask, I have to go wtih the JT series. I currently have Spectra Thermals, that I got for $40 new with a free fan. At first they were fine. Lasted about a year. Then the lens started fogging. I have the JT magik spray. I simply spray that on the inside the morning before I play. Wait a minute, then swab it out about 90% leaving a thin film. That dries, and wala, no fog for the whole day. The spray was $7 and has lasted for years now. I am thinking about getting a set of Flexes soon and having the spectra's for backup, even though I rarely need a backup. Haven't had to use my DYE Invisions since I got eh Spectras 2 years ago. My 2 cents.

      I've used just about everything under the sun when it comes to masks and everything fogs up on me. Reason being, I get very, very hot

      Really. Wife calls me her personal furnace. My son is the exact same way. She can't sleep in the bed with both of us in it. Only thing I've found to counter react it is...
      C-Clear anti fog spray for safety glasses and eyeglasses. C-Clear gel has been the BEST anti-fog solution for over 50+ years. No more fogging up with C-Clear spray and gel. Widely used by law enforcement, military, paintball players, swimmers and divers. Prevent your glasses from being foggy.

      I can't vouch for the spray type but the gel is awesome. I tried it for the first time in Germany back in 98, a German friend hooked me on the stuff. I'll try to do a review on it someday. He applies it once and he's good for the whole day, wish I could say the same

      It's super easy to apply and comes right off with running water which is good and bad. If a drop of sweat hits the lens it's going to kill the coat but if you can keep that from happening, you'll be good for almost a full days worth of games. I have a few clear lenses for my Grills and Profiles so all I do is swap out lenses if it starts fogging up again but like I said, it take 1 min to apply and your back in business. I swap out lenses about twice during the day but I would have to say I'm an exception due to how hot I get. With out it, I'm hosed

        I think most of my issues come from the fact that I sweat like a pig. I am also not exactly a marathon runner, so I am huffing and puffing pretty hard throughout the day which doesn't help. I can't even wear a pair of enclosed shop goggles without fogging them in my basement when it's 50 degrees and I'm standing still. I honestly think I must emit steam out of my eyeballs sometimes. Sounds like I might just stick with what I have and deal with the fan noise. Last thing I feel like doing is dropping more money on something that's going to give me the same basic result.

          I'm the same way bro. I sweat really bad and the vents up top can't keep up with the heat build up. All the heat coming off the face has no place to go and turns the mask into a sauna. If you like I can send some of this stuff to you so you can try it out.

            I have the same setup as you, OPBN, I use proto switch with a thermal lense. I have never had a fogging issue. Only problem is that it is a tinted lense + bad vision + mostly indoor play = not seeing worth crap.
