First I will say these are some of the nicest looking googles I've ever seen with the Grillz being up there as well.

The E-Vents are light and have overall good vision but this brings up one of my 2 complaints.

The nose area pinches weird around the nose and rides high on my nose blocking some of my vision. It seems the guys with smaller/narrower heads don't have this problem.

My second complaint is the removable lenese. It's not that it's hard to remove the lenes ~ it's just not as stupid easy or as quick as VForce Profiliers (my google of choice).

I say if you like the fit on these then they are an excellent google system. I really and truely love them except for how they ride high on my nose.

Loved my events had them for a year and a half and sold them to my best friend who still wears them 2 years later. lenses were easy to change.clean despite the tiny lock clips.

Only drawback was the Foam wore out in about a year. Luckily empire sells a replacement foam kit for like 7 bucks. been through a few of those.

Empire E-Vent (original) i owned events a while ago- the original soft ears weren't that good, but i';m sure the ZN's are much better. lens replacement is quick and easy, and mask disassembles fast

i wouldn't really wear any other mask, but that's not saying it's perfect by any means.

PROS
-looks like a mix between sexy and intimidating
-soft foam and ears are very comfy and don't squeeze your face
-comes with visor, brow shield, and extra lens
-lens are extremely easy to remove
-fogging never an issue
-easy to get bounces (minus the forehead area)
-low profile

CONS
-even for the 75 bucks i paid for it new, i'm still not sure it's worth that
-very little coverage around neck, jawline, and forehead (even with visor)


imo, events are overall better masks than flex 8's, but it really comes down to your preference in face fitment and profile.

Some info, and my recommendations:
First off, before I bought E-vents, I owned a set of V-Force Grills, and used them for about a year. Personally, I like the E-Vents much more. But to be honest, it is all personal preference. If you are considering a high end mask, and are looking at both, (the grillz and the E-Vents) I recommend you try both of them out before you make your decision. For me, I am glad I sold the Grillz and went for E-Vents.

Looks:
Second, This mask looks awesome. No, not everyone will think so, but I have gotten a few compliments on mine (Blue/Black E-Vents with blue mirror lens).

Field Of Vision:
The E-Vents have a great field of vision. It is larger than the Grillz that I used to use. Just plain and simply, you have a great field of vision when you put them on.

Weight:
For those of you who worry about the weight of a mask, if you buy the E-Vents, you will worry no more. It is very lightweight, simple as that.

Changing the Lenses:
Some masks it is hard as could be to change out the lens. For the E-Vents, it is a completely different story. Here, the Grillz and E-Vents are about the same in ease of maintenance/changing the lens. Although they are both different in the way you do change the lens, it is very easy to do with both masks, and it can be done quickly between games.

Other things:
When you buy a set of E-Vents, they come with a Microfiber bag, single pane clear lens, and a dual pane smoke/black lens, which also comes in another microfiber bag.
A cool plus about the bags that they come in, is that they can be used to clean the lens, and work VERY well. It even says it on the bag itself that they can be used for that.

For my recommendations, go back to the first paragraph of my review. Overall though, it is definitely worth it to go buy yourself a set of E-Vents.

The E-Vents are the best masks i have ever had. I would easily recommend this t everyone. It loos great and the lens is very easy to take out and clean. The only little bad part is that if your start breathing to hard the mask might fog up because there are not enough vents to vent out your breath. To easily avoid this is to just pull the bottom part of the mask farther away from your mouth.

All in all the is the best buy to make if your are looking for a great mask.
