oh I forgot to mention that the e-vents are wicked easy to change lenses once you get used to it you can take them out clean them and pout them back in a minute no problem. I'm not sure hoew the avatar's are different from the e-vents as far as the lenses is but that's the biggesdt reason i went with that one. Oh and I believe that all the vents come with a sigle and a double lens. I know all e-vents come with a clear single lens and a tinted thermal, personally I use an amber thermal lens, it lights everything up and you can't beat it for woodsball.

ventz are very nice. the avatar is pretty light, easy to breath in, and jsut an all around good mask.
i wore a profiler (and befoer that a shield) for ever, the ventz field of vision is different (you see the bottom of the mask as apposed to the top like in a profiler). the ventz are easier than the vforce to change and they have the added advantage of thermal lenses.
from all the maskes ive tried on and some what used (didnt play much in anything but my vforce and ventz) none felt as good as the ventz

i have the events, and i love them except for the fact that your jaw is a bit exposed, and the soft ears are only alright. I got shot from close distance in both the upper part of my jaw and side of my head, and i sort of wanted the little more protection of a bigger mask.Comment

Avatar, they're awsome!Comment

ya the normal ventz seem to give a little better ear protection. at first i thought the jaw was exposed a lot but if you look at how you play (or at least should be playing most of the time) your jaw isnt exposed.

thats the advantage of the Avatar. It has all the same upgrades minus soft ears of the events yet is bigger in the jow region. All the vents masks have the same lense changing capabilitiesComment

in my opinion they both sound good. how about suggestions? i have the extreme rage 20/20 and i love it. some say that there is too much foam on the nose but i think its fine. it has the soft chin part and a hard lens part which has good visual but it is hard to see in little light but you can buynew lenses. its got the built in fan and is not loose. with other masks like the proteus i had they would slide down but this one fits nice and tight no more backwards hats for me.

Well i went to the proshop and bought a brand new pair of Empire Avatar vents for $80 plus tax. And overall im pretty happy with them. Comes in a very nice case with mask bag, a short and long visor, and a clear and smoke THERMAL lense. Plus a silk bag for the lense your not using. I tryed on the events and i didnt really like the soft ears or how almost an inch of my jaw was exposed all around. The I3 was by far the most comfortable but some fase was exposed and i dont trust the lenses. So i got the avatar and im very happy with it. Covers all of my face and then some. Is soft like the events for lots of bounces. And the best part is you get the two most popular lenses in thermal (which ive never had fog in any weather including summer rain) that can be changed, cleaned and put back in in about 3 minutes if your taking your time. Best lense change ever. Theyre pretty comfortable to me and dont rub my ears like the helix. Deffinently feel secure and the vision is like your not even wearing a mask.
I give them a A in the best high end mask for the moneyComment

Plus like was said befor the jaw is more covered.Comment
