One set have a rigid plate and the more expensive ones have a softer plate and armour, we have had the ours for 6 months now and i can say that they are probaly the best mask out there......at the moment.

im told that the manufacturer had a problem with the foam for these that why they are hard to get hold of, hopefully they will be sorted soon and some will make it over the pond

These goggles are very well designed, for instance if you cop a shot on the faceplate then the paint won't go up inside your goggles as the design deflects it away AND to change the lens takes 20 seconds with no effort at all and comfort is good along with a huge field of vision.......70 quid may be steep but out of all the goggles i have had including the original vents, these are by far the best.......so far:)

5 seconds to get a lens out... 10 to put it back. ;)

There are 4 goggles in the line. Top of the line and as a 'Private label model' for Empire are the E-Vents. Then 3 in the 'Vents' line. Avatar, Cylus and Helix.

www.ventsgoggles.com For the vents line and video of them being tested and lens changing etc. 'That guy' in the video has an accent that chicks go crazy for over here... ;)

The Avatar and E-Vents are made from the same material and have the same flexible faceplate.

The main difference is that the E-Vent is a legal cut down mask with soft ear pieces instead of the 'all in one' design of the Avatar.

The other small differences are in the logo's (Empire or Vents) and the strap and the Empire Strap is an Empire Camo pattern strap with extra silicon inside in the shape of Empire Logo's AS WELL as the silicon lines found on all Vents straps.

Both the E-Vent and Avatar come in the hard display case packaging and with 2 lenses (one smoke thermal dual pane, and one clear single pane with thermally cured anti-fog). They both come with the micro fibre bag and brow shield and visor also.

:D

Thanks for the compliments Bud.

Jahlad, yeah we had a nightmare with the foam and glue. Should be solved now though, and will update any of the earlier ones if they have problems.

p.s. They are bound to be the best, British designed. ;)
