For fans you can go to expense with a paintball specific fan, or get small 20mm computer fans and wire one or two to a battery and switch

Fans about 10 years ago made a lot of noise for not a lot of air flow. I'm not familiar with the current paintball specific goggle fans, so can't say if they have improved or not
The smallest I've seen is the fanz flexr, which is just over the size of a single AA battery with a fan each end.

The only issue I have is there is no protection for it and at £50 ago, if it takes a paintball hit its a gone.

But I might take a look into adding some small fans to the top vents, I've got to do something as its ruining my games as I can't see anything after the first 2 games as I'm too hot by then

Habervision Eliminator is £50. This fits most goggles.

Virtue Stealth Fan is £35 but fits Virtue only, JT Vortex is £15 but fits JT only.
I'm an EVS user so may have to look into the Habervision Eliminator or possible look into building something and mounting it to the top vent.

I'm just wondering whether I need the fans pulling the air out, pushing is down or maybe one pushing the air down one side while the other side pulls the out to try and create an air flow circulation within the mask.

have u ever try other type of masks? I would suggest you to try on the grill or dye, also wearing a headband or sthing to
cover your forehead would help absorbing the sweat so you would unlikely got it trapped in the foam so less chance for fogging too. if the other masks still giving you the same problem then a fan would definitely a good conclusion. I have used antifog spray before, didn't really help.

You can buy used dye/grill for quite cheap around 30-50 quids but in good condition.

I have through a process of elimination arrived at the EVS, Grills suck and Dye don't seem to be made for fat heads like mine :ROFLMAO:

Where as the EVS does and has nice big vents around the mouth, however I still fog up but no where near as bad as I did with my Grills or my E-Vents that I have as well.

I do use head protection though, so think the fan option is something I need to look into more over sprays

I just bought a habervision one to go with my EVS goggles to be tried at Borderlands, I wear a baseball cap to provide a little head protection and as a big lad sweat abit so will let you know how it goes if you can wait till after the 18th.

On the EVS front only played a single walkon with them and by the end of the day there was a little steaming up but not as bad as I have seen with other masks.

Yeah please do let me know as I'm not the smallest of chaps either, so feel your pain but like you found the EVS don't fog up as bad as other masks.

So will be interested to hear how you get on with them as I'm not going to my next walk on till the end of June, so the 18th does work for me for sure

Does anyone have any suggestions of good anti fog formulas, I have given the FOGDOC jell ago but wanted to know if there was anything better?

Or does anyone know if the stuff that bikers use on their visors or divers use on their masks would be ok to use on a mask lens?
Used to race motorbikes and used to put the smallest amount of washing up liquid on the inside .It worked for 1/2 a day .Very fine layer that is .
