Low-profile goggles

[pxranger]

I found a thread from back in 2004' briefly talking about Wiley-X having fogging issues. Has anything changed in their products since then? I'm looking for low-pro goggles that won't fog terribly. I already have a pair of FlakJaks, but they feel too wide on my face. They almost feel like a scuba mask.

I've looked at the Wiley-X SG-1's and just now, the ESS Advancer Series: www.esseyepro.com/Advancer-Series-Goggles_99_detail.html



Has anyone had any luck with a low-pro goggle like these or others, with minimal issues?

I am in love with my ESS profile nvg's. They dont fog up and they are really low profile.

Judging by the picture at the bottom of the page, they look like they would fit like the FlakJaks though: www.esseyepro.com/Profile-Series-Goggles_1_detail.html

Those "glasses" style goggles like Wiley-Xs never really work. They don't have any good ventilation and thus fog terribly. ESS Profile goggles are actually smaller than FlakJaks (not as wide), but considering they are full goggles they will fit "like" FlakJaks. They're just a bit smaller.

So I'm just gonna have to deal with it. Well, as long as they're smaller, that should work.

I also have ESS Profiles, and they are MUCH smaller than my friends FlakJak's. Also, even though I have heard people say they will not fog, they still probably will. If you are having fogging problems, its because you are probably just a foggy kind of guy, running more, breathing harder, etc. I was determined to find a no-fog solution for my ESS. Anti-fog only lasts so long and hasn't been 100% effective.

I went "overkill" on it and decided to rip out the foam along the edge of the goggles (on the outside, its supposed to be a dust filter) and I went and bought a thermal lens as well. I survived an entire game, running around indoors, hot and sweaty, the whole night, without a single patch of fog.

Bolle T-800's. Best goggles on the market.

That or ESS Profile NVG's, and if you have some cash, ESS Turbofans. Those glasses-style goggles always fog.

I actually haven't had all that much issue with fogging with my Advancer V12's. The ventilation system so far has seemed to work out for me; especially when I'm on the move. But then again I haven't used them in any summer games, just late fall and winter so I'm not 100% on what they'll do when it gets hot out but I think they'll be okay.

Plus, I find them to be by far the most comfortable goggle I've ever thrown on.

I have Bolle 800s and ESS profiles. The ESS with thermal lenses are by far the best I've used.
