The Empire E-Vents Goggle System is a new, low profile goggle system designed to present the minimum target possible while being soft and flexible for comfort and to help keep you in the game by glancing/bouncing paintballs. The soft faceplate of the top model is re-enforced by a flexible yet strong mouth guard which allows the front of the mask to flex on impact, but stops full paintballs from pushing through or lifting it up, and thus protects your lips and mouth. These goggles have a special venting system designed to work functionally with the way you breathe. The mouth vents are located so you breathe and shout through the vents rather than into a large mass of plastic or rubber as with other goggle systems. As your breath hits the front of the mask, it either exits directly or is deflected sideways and outwards. There are specially shaped vents which take the deflected breath and move it out from the face plate. These specially shaped vents project your voice and warm breathe out to the sides, and not up into the goggle. As your breathing warms the front of the mask, it heats up dry air in the demist guide. This demist guide is specially designed to prevent hot moist air from your breath getting through vents in the bottom of the goggle. Instead, the heat is transferred to dry air in the demist guide making it rise and move up across the lens of the goggle. As this air rises, it draws in fresh, dryer air from the back and sides of the goggle. This allows you to have a flow of air across the lens to help avoid fogging, while ensuring no moist air gets from your breath into the lens area. Side baffles in the faceplate prevent warm moist air from moving up into the goggle so your voice and hot air is expelled in the direction you want it to out through the mask. The ear pieces are designed to cup around your ears so your ears can sit in a very natural position and your hearing with the goggle on is just like it was without the goggle. We didn't put excessive cosmetic venting into the mask like many other companies do, because it wasn t needed due to the advanced design and to keep the smooth, clean lines that make paint more likely to glance off the goggle and to make it easier to clean when paint does get onto the goggle.

Empire goggles come with removablesoft ear pieces and an even lower profilefaceplate for the maximum reduction intarget, and ultimate cool factor.

The lens system is a very advanced andoptically correct. Although, at first glanceit looks like a flat lens, it actuallychanges in thickness to maintain the bestoptical quality possible. The power imbalance,which means how your eyes seestraight ahead, is 0.00 for both Sphericalpower imbalance and Astigmatic powerimbalance (the value is so small it can tbe read with conventional testingequipment). What does this mean? Itmeans what you are seeing is reallywhere you think it is, so you can be moreaccurate in your shooting.

The lens is an extremely safe and quickrelease system. It can be replaced inseconds, yet is held very securely intothe mask and frame. Unlike other quickrelease systems, the Empire E-Ventslens fits in under the nose piece. Thismeans the nose area doesn t deflect inwhen shot, so it prevents the ingress ofpaint into the goggle under the lens. Tofurther lock the lens into place, there is a tongue and groove around the edge ofthe lens and goggle. This prevents shotsat the edge of the lens forcing paint upinto the goggle and helps maintain ahigh safety factor. The lens is held in atthe sides with very robust retainers,which also hold the logos. This simplypushes through the lens and the goggle,then secured in place inside the frameby placing the end of the strap clip overthe retainer and twisting down intoposition. The added safety being thatyou can t have the strap in place if thelens isn t in the goggle properly. So youcan t wear the goggle until a lens is inplace. It s a very quick and easy process,so you can pick and choose lenses tosuit your playing conditions.The goggle has the ability to add theincluded visor or brow shield. These aremade of flexible material and are easy tofit or remove without the use of tools,and with no other separate small piecesto get lost in your kit bag. The Vents goggles come with a highquality strap with silicone beading to helpkeep the mask firmly on your head.
