I have had this style of mask for about 9 months and I'm glad I bought it. I think it is one of the more comfortable masks of all the ones I've used. The mask hasn't ever fogged up on me, even playing in the rain. It came with a hard case, two visors, a smoke lens and a clear lens, microfiber cloth, and of course a manual. One of the best things about the mask is that the lens removal, it is extremely simple, which is good if you get hit in the mask. It is a little hard to breathe in the mask especially in the summer. I've worn it on days where it was about 100 degrees and it was miserable, however in the fall and winter it's not too bad at all. The only other problem I've had was the foam coming apart on mine, with this mask you really have to make sure that you lift it off your face before you slide it off.

I've always loved the Vents and E-vents

Pros:

-Looks: Hand down the best looking mask.
-Easy to clean: Takes about 2minutes to clean. It's easy and you don't have
-to mess with tabs that can hurt your fingers lol.
-Comfort: Very comfortable
-Vision: Great field of vision
-Lens: Comes with a clear and smoke lens! Also the quick change system is great!

Cons:
-Breathability. It's not as easy to breate in as the proflexs but I DONT have a problem. I'm in shape so I'm not winded after diving into the snake and doing run-throughs like other people are.
-Upgrades: I'd like to see more upgrades if possible like the Proflexes have.

Very good mask, from a very good company. I bought a pair when they first came out with the bad foam, and Empire sent out new foam/emblems free of charge. The lens clip popped out when i was hit by it, but thanks to the redundant system, the lense stayed in since the strap would have to pull up also.

Great product.

I was drawn to events due to the very unique design and colors. I however did not realize the facial coverage. If you want a mask that will cover your entire face this mask is not for you. I have found with myself and fellow players that sides of the jaw and chin are exposed when using this mask system

INTRO:

E Vents were the must have new product for 2006 .. IMO this is the sole paintball product that is actually worth its MSRP of $90. Comes with 2 lenses that last for 2+ seasons now .. and I live in the desert!!!! Other mask lenses scratch extremely easy especially Vforce but these take field abuse like a CHAMP!!!

PERFORMANCE:

They fit great on your face and the strap is top quality... lightweight and comfy .. The soft ears cover your entire ear unlike the ones for Flexes .. therefore, you get the most protection along with Grillz

Your field of vision is the highest of any mask out ...

I can literally change my lens in 30 seconds without rushing it

When breathing very heavily .. the air begins to become very hot from poor ventilation .. this in turn also muffles your voice (as if my teammates listen to me anyways ) and a person at bunker 10 ft away from me can't hear me screaming at the top of my lungs .. therefore, I use hand signals now .. works wonders


RELIABILITY

On top of the highest lens quality, the material the mask is made up of is very durable and soft enough for bounces ... my Events have lasted for 2 entire seasons pretty much and still look like they were just out of the box a wk ago.

The little clips that hold the tabs from rotating are often lost .. not a big deal

Soft ears have lasted the entire time as well

ALL IN ALL

MOST COMPLETE MASK OUT
.. if a new or experienced player asked me what mask he should buy .. I would say EVENTS

I can't mod my mask for more ventilation because PSP/NPPL doesn't allow it, but it is a great mask that doesn't need to be replaced every season .. so spend more money on paint .. ... I prefer these over my Grillz and proflexes except when I am stuck in the back and have to be heard .. then it is the flex .

Pros: See below

Pros:
Very stylish- I know in paintball looks dont really matter, but man oh man, is this thing awesome. If you get it in white, it has that clone trooper look on it, and it makes you look intimidating.

Great field vision- I have used other masks, and this mask has impressed me with the field vision it has. You can see the whole field easily, without a problem.

Anti log lens- The lens dont fog, no matter what. I put my mouth up to it, blow hot air, and it fogs for a second, and then the fog goes away. Impressive.

Feels nice on your face- Its very comftorbale. When I walk out of the game, I sometimes forget that im wearing it.

Comes with dark lens- The E-Vents come with a very nice dark shaded lens. This helps in places where I live, (Miami) to block out the sun.

Comes with extra lens- The Empire E-vents come with extra clear lens, just incase something happens to your shaded lens.

Good ventilaton- The ventilation on the Empire E-vents is great. Lots of air goes through the mask.
Light- The Empire Events is a light mask.

Easy dissasembly- The Events are easy to take apart and clean.

Cons:

Not much cover- The E-vents dont cover alot of your face. It leaves your ears, and some of your chin open to get shot.

Price- For some people, the E-vents can be very pricey.


Conclusion:

Overall, I really reccomend getting the Empire-Events. They are a little pricey, but its worth every penny. If you get it, I know you will be happy.

I definitely have to say that these are very nice masks, i personally prefer the white one, but the color of it is a dead give away, and also pics of people with e-vents make great photo's, also if you have glasses they have a wider lense to fit you glasses into.

I recomend this product frequently and have not used a different mask since buying mine!
