"Mask Fog" is killing me!

[BartManSr]

My Raven fog all day and couldn't see anything.
I need a mask that won't fog. If I could get some sugggestions from people who play in hot areas, I'd appreciate it.

I'm from Oklahoma, very hot and humid here.

JT Spectras are great. It's heck trying to swap lenses but other than that I love them... and I have heard no problems with fogging.

[irbodden]

Hmm, I have the Proteus, and it fogs sometimes too. I used to have the Diablo Skul thermal, and that badboy never fogged up on me. That was by far my favorite mask of all time..

My thermal JT flex 7 never fogs. They say that the Vforce line of goggles are also good when it comes to preventing fog. I'd say that you wont go wrong with either.

u need the jt fan, works great

[rpm07]

I never had any problem with my JT mask I think JT still makes a fan for them it mite work on your mask. If not go to a auto parts store and pick up anti-fog for windshields and try that, thats what I use and it works good. Hope that helps you

[rehme]

if you want a good mask buy jt because most of the people are saying the never fog up or somtimes i had a flex 7 for about 6 months never fogged up and i live in kansas so my mask went though every condition of weather in one day (a kansas joke)

I have a Proteus w/ a smoke chrome thermal lens and the vortex fan. I havent had it fog once. One time, when I forgot to put my headband on, the sweat ran onto my lens. But that was fixed the next game, when I put my headband on. You could Ither go Proteus with the fan, or you could get a V-Force. I have heard nothing but good things about them. and the lens's are easy to change in the V-Force's too, un-like the spectra's. So, it it really up to you.

V-Force. The best damn mask on the market.

...or, use the ancient cure.


Take a bar of soap, and rub a few stripes onto the inside of the lens. Now, with a very soft cloth, or camera lens tissue, rub the soap in until it clears up. Do not try to wipe it off.

If you rub it in like a polish, it will be clear in a few moments. The soap will prevent fogging up.


Another more temporary way, is to take that soft cloth, then spit onto the lens. Wipe the spit around until it's clear and dry. This won't last but a few games at best, but it's better than 'nuttin!

[mykroft]

V-Force all the way.

Their lens film works about 10x better than the Spectra's and the masks don't fall apart like Spectra's do. Also you get more neck protection with teh V-Force.

[Jammin James]

i use anti-fog spray. Works great.

[Mav D MagMan]

I use a JT X-Fire, somewhat old school, three years old *not falling apart!* and since I switched out to the Smoked Lense (tinted black) I have had no fogging problems what so ever for the last two years. Using an actual thermal lense would make it even better.

Oh and I live in wonderful sunny CA, humidity, sun, sweat, and yes even rain!

[mrhooie]

do you have the Raven photochromatic lense? There was a problem with these 1st generation lenses and Raven replaced them with thermal lenses at no cost.

[pumpamatic]

As of now I would have to recommend against Dye Invisions. Comfortable- you bet, best I've tried. fogs?- sometimes. I've been using some cleaner I got from an optometrist and it's not working very well. I get a slight fogging while waiting to play, but it goes away completely right after my move off the break. Maybe I should blame the cleaner, maybe I should blame the lens. Either way, in 85 degrees or higher, it has fogged. BTW- these goggles have watched a good 6 cases fly, and the only times it has fogged was when it was about 90 degrees or better, and only in the on-deck area, never on the field or after games.
