Sneak Peak at the New Vents Goggles

[Lohman446]

Manike - I have glasses... seriously send me the amoutn this thing is going to cost, if you stand behind it and tell me its that good - [email protected] - I'll preorder now

[Cunha]

Any estimated MSRP?

Sorry but the fan system is going to be specific to these goggles, although it 'may' be possible for enterprising people to adapt it, I don't think it will be very easy, or look as good. Let's be honest, most fan systems leave a LOT to be desired. I've never been happy with any fan solutions before.

The single pane lenses are high quality. I wanted to be at least equal to V-force single pane lenses. I prefer single pane lenses also. I was 'forced' into making thermal lenses because so many people want them, but I'll be wearing the single pane ones.

This lens change system has, again in my opinion, a few significant advantages over the Vforce system. Details will be shown/released at World Cup (end of October).

The lens to me is the most important starting point of any goggle. I designed a quality lens first, then the rest of the goggle around it and how to keep it clear, in place, and working to the best capabilities.

Yeah, me too. I guess I'll have to wait and see what you have come up with. I assume it will either be part of the new goggle system and released at the same time?

[manike]

It will be an accessory and released a bit behind the goggle system, but it is coming.

Manike, vforce goggles rarely fog and they're only single pane... I know you're releasing a thermal version of goggles, but that's one thing I DON'T like about my JTs... will the single-pane lens be effective at preventing fogging, or do I really need to use the thermal version?

Keep in mind... I play in Florida humidity/heat, and in winters 40 degrees + tons of humidity

[manike]

I haven't played in Florida for a while... hopefully I will be at World Cup!

I've been playing in New Jersey heat and humidity which is aweful.

My benchmark for single pane lenses is the high end V-force lens. I believe we can at least equal it with our single pane lens.

As noted, I prefer the single pane lenses and I never settle for second best. I think a lens you can take out and clean easily is a great thing, that's the one downside of thermals. You have to be more careful about the inside pane.

Good choice, I like it!

[FSU_Paintball]

Manike, you've nearly sold me on it and I've never even touched one...

If you're at Cup during the NCPA division, I'll be the one coaching FSU Paintball. I'll come take a look for you.

It's nice to see an old name ressurected. I can fondly remember the days of my vents predators with the foamy-material pieces being held together by staples.

i still have 2 pair of those...i just can't find new lenses for them.

[Echo419]

Looks Like Saraumon's mask. Im getting one.

[Indignant]

Those are nice looking. Maybe i'll hold back on buying a new mask.

[CaliMagFan]

lets play a game called "I want to get shot in the neck." Everyone must wear that mask.

[Carbon]

Are the lenses aspherical?

I love that game!
