Nope they are Vents Predator goggles. And no longer safe to wear and not allowed at any high level events because the lenses have not been made for years and are now past their safety deadline.

ahhh - my vents.... brings back memopries of the good ol' days....

I really hated giving up my vents, and even tried the scotts lenses for a wile, but sadly - they are gone now. Raven nuvis has the kewl band-clasp, now. I wonder why that hasn't caught on to more manufactures.

Vents were definately the most comfortable masks that I've worn.

I agree with the above poster that the band-clasp seems like a gold mine waiting to happen. Not sure why they aren't made on more systems. Safety concern that they'll come 'undone' in mid game???

oh, sweet memories...

One of the local stores still has some Taso SS barrels w/ twist lock. I know they have the 14" (I've got 2 of 'em), I can check and see if they have 8's. If they do, expect something in the $50-60 range, if you're interested.

I don't know which fields don't allow Vents. I have used mine for over three years now and no problems. Granted, I have not played in alot of high level torunaments but I used them at D-Day, and Shatnerball as well as several local tourneys.

I just wish I could get more lenses out there. Anyone that has thermal lenses for vents that are willing to part with them let me know.

You are risking your eyes. It's ATSM guidelines I believe about lense safety.

Even if you find new in the packet lenses they are still outside the recomended 'use by' time.
They apparently degrade over time (especially if they are in use). And are required to be changed each year? or similar.

We seem to be more safety concious in Europe (not sure why?) and people have been stopped from using them at events.

I also know some people who made the strap fit other goggles (but then this is also not allowed at big Tournament series as goggles are supposed to be 'as they come' from the manufacturer...
