So, I got my set of black Vents Avatars in last week. Pulled them out of the box - very nice packaging retail display setup.. nice
Initial impressions:
On first look I was very disappointed with these. They are a harder material on the face mask than my profiler, the ears are the same material (I did not want soft, flexible ears). They almost seemed like the old V-Force Shield / Morph to me.
Ok, I decided I would try them on the field. The short review of these is at the end of the day I gave my Profilers away. I put in the clear, non thermal lens and played indoor under flourescent lights. I had a amber lens on my profiler the glare was so bad. This is without the visor on and I had wonderful, clear view, really as close to not noticing the mask as anything I have ever had. Very very nice view. The lens is at least as easy to pull as it was on the profiler but seems to sit more securely when in. And yes, the fit of these does offer a much narrower profile than the profiler did. Very very nice mask despite my first reaction. No fogging with the single pane lens despite going from indoor to outdoor (have to walk from heated indoor staging outside to indoor play area). That and with the fact taht I have repeatedly had bloody lips/nose from the flexible mouthguard on the profiler that I dont see happening with these has me happy with them.
