both great goggles you could also get

profilers
events (nice but cost a lot)
extreme rage 20/20 have fans in them

As long as the goggles fit you well u like them and there a well know make you should be ok

Hope this helps

Cheers Tim :cool:

as for white events save your cash spend more money on what you shoot
and not what you look like you can allways add that later

ok thanks alot,

i know this is off-topic of my thread, but should i get the brand new ion from smart parts website or buy it second hand.

the same goes with my air, should i buy that second hand or new?

and i am buying my hopper new so should i just go for everything brand new?

*back on topic* Where could i get kinda "cheap"er costs for the dye i3s?

thanks

Personally I don't think there's anythnig wrong with second hand gear. Although I think masks should be bought new for safety.

My ION, Air and Hopper are all second hand and are working fine. You tend to save some money on second hand gear and get regulators that are pre 'run-in'.

Just make sure the air bottle you get is in good condition if you want it to pass it's next hydro test. An air bottle which comes with a cover is generally a good indication that it's been looked after.

For the mask, I personally use a V-Force Morph. Easy to clean and doesn't really break the bank. I also have a JT NVader but that is hell to take the lense out for cleaning, and it tends to slip down my face.

My 2 cents.
