Playing blind sucks!!!

[paintballfiend]

Well, for the last month I have been pretty much useless on the field after a couple of games. I sweat so much that my lenses fog up horribly and water dropplets actually form on them. What do you guys suggest I do to fix this problem? Also, what goggles breath the best?

[teufelhunden]

First, learn to search.


Second, buy a mask not normally found at Wal-Mart, Sports Authority, or Dick's.

Third, wear a hat or a sweat band or something.

Oh, cool, thanks. Does it get in the way with the foam and everything?

I've heard shaving cream works fairly well.

A small dab on a clean cloth and rub/wipe on but make sure not to just put it on then take it off. Leave some there.
I haven't tried it on my mask, but I've tested it on my mirror before a shower an it does keep it from fogging.

I wear a sweatband, change it at lunch if I need to. They're only about... $1 each...
It helps with sweat and little water droplets, but not with fog.

I don't really think this is the problem, but you could possibly be breathing wrong. You might try concentrating on where you're "shooting" the air when you exhale, and try to get it to go down instead of up.

Other than that, your mask may just not be such a great mask for you. Sorry.

Yeah, I think it is time to put them to rest. I heard proflex and profile breath better than Dye/Proto and E-Vents. Is this true or b.s. ?

my events breathe well enough, could be better, but they have a tendancy to fog horribly with the tinted lens, i have no idea why...

[MANN]

they fog becaues they are thermal lens. vents have a horrible thermal lens. Remove that thing, and you will be fine.

Wear contacts. Glasses will always fog. I have wore glasses sense the 3rd grade. I have yet to find something to stop them from fogging. I also play hockey, and have had the same problem. Pert plus sorta works (untill sweat gets on them) shaving cream does not work, antifog sucks.

Contacts are not that expensive just pick a pair or 3 up for paintball.

I don't normally have fogging problems what one time early in the season it was raining and everyone was fogging up bad.. Put on some anti-fog that is made for hunting and it worked really well against the fog as long as you didn't touch it after you applied it. As soon as I wiped some rain drops off the lens it fogged exactly where i wiped..

i thought you were talking about rudz......

[rkjunior303]

wear a headwrap and breathe through your nose.

Really? my experience is exaclty the opposite, everyone I know with vents has had their single pane lenses fog up horribly, and their thermals are amazing.
