I have a buddy that fogs up in every mask he's tried (yes, even duel layer thermal) so there is no guarantee im afraid... some people just fog more than others. and I would take comfort over looks to start with tho as you can always "decorate" it afterwards.
if you end up with a JT mask, the JT fans are pretty good altho a little noisy.

Get to a walk-on if you can and try some out see what fits you best is my advice, take it from there.

yeah theres no such thing as no fog, theres anti fog solution or could get a mask fan to help but its better to have a mask that fits comfortably than one thats pretty tbh

I use a JT Flex 8 thermal lense and twin custom muffin fans. I need the fans because I wear glasses and they fog up not my goggle lense

whats the cost on that with the fans and all? im not looking to be a person with all the gear and no idea, vision is important both on and off the field

I seem to be one of the lucky ones that dont fog up at all in any goggles ive tried, and im out in all weathers, fogging can happen from a few reasons from wearing too many clothes to excess skin perspiration. Dual lenses definitely help tho. Just dont dunk em in water to clean em !

I would say at least 90% of people fog up in site goggles tho as customers tend not to treat them very well (knocked around the table they are sitting at or dropping them on the floor...). So if youve only ever tried site goggles so far i wouldnt panic, chances are any pro goggles could be fine for you. I will stress again however that comfort should be taken over style.

Yeah I definitely fogged up quite badly in any site goggles I have worn. Never so far in my i4s though, that's in blistering sun or ice The only downside is that rain gets in through the vents and you can't wipe it out. But I modified a visor for mine which helps solve that problem

does the i4d not come with a visor or visor adaptor for fan units? I agree with everyone that looks do not outway the comfort or performance, but as im going sniper mode and have the full realtree outfit I would like a really good mask that doesn't compromise the me being seen at 6ft 1inch and 18 stone it hard enough to try and hide lol

The closest you'll get to pulling off sniper moves is to use first stike rounds in a mag fed marker as there is no such thing as sniper paint im afraid. Any black or generally dark set of goggles will help keep you hidden, beause to be honest if they are close enough to see a pattern, chances are your already dead.

I used to use the proto switch mask in a woodland camo which is not a million miles away from a real tree effect but i had to upgrade to a thermal lense now im using the i4 its such a comfy mask but very small leaving a lot of your forehead exposed thank god for sandanas
