    I live in Alabama, right now the weather is sunny, broken up by torrential rain showers. Needless to say, this place is steamy like a rain forest. I wear a V-Force Morph and it has'nt thought about fogging up. It's been great while some other guys with JT have had a few problems.

      Where I live, days of 99% humidity are common, and it can get into the 90's on occasion. The standard day of play is usually 85 with around the same amount of humidity.
      Having stated that, here is what I have noticed.
      My OLD (93) X-Fire with dual lense never fogged at all, even in the rain. However, some other, newer JT lenses that I have seen/used have had fogging problems around the periphery. Not all, but there have been a few.
      I have also never witnessed a V-Force fog up in the slightest. Plus, they are nice if you have a big head.

              It always makes me wonder what I am doing right when I hear people tell of fogging on ravens. Mine never fogs at all. Oh well. Best I can say is get the new lens if you have an old one. Though they fixed the problem many months back.

                  Yes V-force masks. 10 times better than the others, especially if you wear glasses like I do. They're cheap, and it takes 10 seconds to remove the lens, instead of 20 minutes and a screwdriver in the hand for the JT spectra masks.

                  There's only one drawback to the V-force: when it rains, water gets quickly inside the masks.

                    Isn't 99% humidity basically saying it's raining?



                    I love my Flex 7s, I use a fan only because I have glasses inserts.

                    They don't ever fog. I use a sweatband to keep the stinging sweat out of my eyes.

                      I used to have a Flex 7 before the Raven. The only thing I didn't like about them was that they scratch up too easy.

                          V-force is by far my favorite. I don't even use my old JT ize ever since I got my V-force.

                              I would say the V-force. I have had a JT spectra for a while and it never fogged, even playing in the middle of the summer after some rain. I just don't like the fact that my fingers hurt everytime I finish taking out my lens to clean it. If they (JT) had an easier way to take out the lens I would stick to them, but unfortunatley they don't.

                                OK, I just ordered a V-Force Morph (for me) for $68.88 and a Flex 7 (for youngest son) for 49.88 with an extra yellow lens (for my old Flex 7), making sure I'm covered.

                                Does any body know if you can get a yellow lens for the V-Force and where?
