ESS profile goggles work great. Easy to look through optics, rarely fog (remove foam), and allow for easy attachments of fans.
You might be able to snag one on the forum in the commerce section for cheap. I did!

You can find used ess profile nvg goggles on ebay for $20 or less in good condition. They retail for about $100, but since they are issued, they are really common and can be found for as low as $70 brand new if you are really set on buying new. Just search ess nvg.

I found a pair of knock off ess goggles with a fan that work just as good as the real deal (from experience) on ebaybanned for only $40.

Those vents aren't supposed to be removable. When you take them out, you leave a huge gap in the frame that's easily large enough for a bb to pass through. So by removing the vents, you're removing the "full seal" aspect of the goggle, and in doing so, making them not field legal. Most places won't check for it because it's too time consuming to check every players' equipment top to bottom. But that doesn't mean that you should be doing it. If Flackjaks fog on you with the vents in, then you need some new goggles.

I personally use ESS NVG Profiles and they work great, with the foam off. Another pair of goggles that I know many people wear are Bolle T-800. My friend owns a pair and they seem to work just fine.

Sorry to make such a bad assumption like that.

I own bolle T-800's and Bolle T-500's. I prefer the 500's any day over the 800's they just don't look as cool. The 800's seem to fog more often than the 500's but I am over weight and perspire quite a bit!

I upgraded to some ESS goggles after I lost my Wiley-X's earlier this year. Have never had any issues with them fogging. Ridiculously filthy from sweating heavily? Yes. Fog? Never crosses my mind with these.
