Review: PCS 20/20 07 with Fan Thermal Paintball Goggles - Jungle Camo

[wookie]

So to begin with, I sweat pretty heavily, which invariably results in a super-fogged mask. I have tried various anti-fog products (cat-crap, anti-fog spray, spit, etc..) with no real success.

I even modded a vforce with some PC fans and a 9v battery. This mod worked pretty well, but it was a kludge. So I decided to buy an off the shelf product with a fan.

Along came a sale on the PCS 20/20 07 with Fan Thermal Paintball Goggles.

As far as normal mask usage/features its performs well. Decent visibility, comfortable, nice soft foam pads, etc...
It is camo'ed in "jungle" (MARPAT) digi which looks pretty nice.

Now on to the fan.
Pros:
It does work for defogging.
The button is fairly easy to locate.

Con:
Its loud.
Too damn loud.

While waiting in the staging area i turned it on, and people over 10 feet away turned towards me wondering what the sound was. :(
(A couple guys thought it was a cell phone on vibrate mode.)

All in all, Its an ok mask, but I think I will tear the apart the fan assembly and install a potentiometer to control the speed, or a different, quieter fan.

Yea. Profilers fog on me. I just sweat too much. The headband helps, but whatcha gonna do....

I sweat like a mad fool too, I have never had an issue with either my JT 5 or my JT Proteus with fogging.
