    i've used invision masks for 3 years, hasn't fogged one.

        Bottom of the page. The lenses for the Shields, Morphs and Profilers are all the same. The Armor lense is different.

            You should go to a shop and try some masks on. I tried a proflex yesterday and hated it becuase it didnt have good visibility. I tried on a V-force mask though and it has as good of visibilty as the invision. I really like my Invision and have been using mine for three years now.

              I currently use a proto mask and like it alot, but as someone else said it's pretty much just preference. IMO the profilers are the best mask out, alot more comfy than the protos and invision but then again it's just my opinion.

                  Get a Profiler. The lenses are good quality, are very inexpensive, and are VERY easy to change. Plus they're so darn comfortable that you don't even feel like you're wearing a mask.

                    it depends. its all personal preference really.
                    i have a proflex and also a profiler.
                    i decided to cut the ears on the profiler and put some proflex softear's on the profiler and for some reason, the profiler is a LOT more comfortable than what it use to be.

                    but i use my proflex when its very hot out, because for me the profiler keeps in a LOT of heat(but when i put the softears on it, some reason it stopped keeping in so much heat)

                    the profiler has awesome FOV though, you kinda forget you're wearing a mask cause you almost can't see the frame around the lens when you wear it.

                    however the flex part on the proflex/flex7 has given me bounces everytime i get shot there, can't really say that for any part of hte profiler

                      My profiler has been awesome. It gives good chin protection, encourages bounces, has an easy to clean (and remove) lens, doesn't fog, and gives you awesome peripheral vision. Proflexs are a bit comfier imo but i'll stick with my profiler

                        Dont for get about the Proto Switch. they are easy to take apart and dont fog at all. They are also very close to the Invision in basic design.

                            if you are concerned about protection with the Profiler, set ur doubts at ease, i personally have a large head, and until i tried on the profiler and checked it out, my old Proteus was the only mask that covered my head enough to what i thought was good protection, covered my chin decently, covered my jawline nicely, and the visor was good protection for my forehead... well i recently bought a profiler after trying on a friends... it covers MORE of my chin, but at a further distance as to not restrict my breathing, it cut up a small bit on my jawline but NOT enough to complain about, and the visor/veflector whichever you'd use, although did not cover as high as i would like was still adequate... now to the good stuff.. this mask ventilates better than any mask i have used, and i've tried quite a few. has no fogging issues that i have noticed yet, and i'm a big guy who sweats alot and generates alot of heat... and this mask doesnt restrict my ability to breath AT ALL what so ever... not only is this the sexiest mask on the market, it is also the best in functionality from what i am seeing and everything i ever heard before getting one... this mask is well worth the investment.

                            BUT, the best advice i can give is try as many on as you can, and even try them out on a field if you can, then make your decision based on what fits YOU, after all... it's all about your own preference..

                              I love my profiler, and, although, I personally have never had it fog...I have seen people who have. I would recommend the proflex myself...my JT lenses never fogged, not even once, and I played all through winter as well. I chose the profiler for ease of changeability, as well as coolness factor

                                I've used an invision for years. The lense it came with fogged, but after I replaced it, I never had a problem. It's a good mask.

                                That being said, I'd buy a Profiler if I was in the market for a new mask. Best mask on the market right now IMHO.
