I have a blue Dyetanium lens, sun still affects me :p

Thought it would for everyone? I realise that having a mirrored lens makes it a lot darker but I still find the sun glare to be offputting and often hard to see clearly.

I've already own a mirrored lens. that eliminates glare as it is.

Put a mask on and put a peak on it.

- tilt your head backwards. look at the profile of your gog's it's now greatly increased.
- tilting the head forward has the same effect. but also limit's your periferal vision.
- if you rotate the head from side to side the peak often sticks out further than the mask face plate.

now, do you see that it's something bigger to hit?

I only ever wear peaks when i play in the rain, to keep the water off my lens so i can see.:D

It's a bigger target area to hit..:rolleyes:

think about it. you move your head up or down, side to side, that peak becomes just another thing to stick out a bunker and get tw*tted with paint.

.

thats what the pros say

wasnt there a thread about this before and then some pics of pro players in the states playing with peaked baseball caps on and looking like arses ?

So, you tilt you head up, down and sideways when you play?

Simple answer is - do whatever you want. Wear it or don't wear it? Don't give a sh1t what other people say or think! Then concentrate on your game - not how you will look getting shot!

EDIT : Have a look at this - if you insist on jumping on the 'no-peak' bandwagon ;p http://www.kilaproducts.com/product.php?pID=41

if its raining put on a peak...personally i dont like wearing one because it seems to cut out a lot of light. Although i would rather have a bounce off my peak than a shot in the head

If its raining ur gona get rain on ur lense with or without a peak, its mainly to stop sunlight i think. An to be honest the best way to shade your view is to have different comoured lenses, dark ones for when its light, yellow for when its dark, sortidoed!

U also look like a noob with one on, so take it off!

lets be honest. it looks stupid.......who cares if its a band wagon or not.

if ure getting rain INSIDE the old goggles then dont peak it up....get some black tapey stuff and tape the vents at the top ;)

people always say that looking cool isnt everything but lets be honest this game does have a huge aspect of looking bloody good. what ever people say deep down they know they wanna look cool :cool:
