I have the Arena Flakjaks. They are decent. Will tend to fog from time to time. SavePhace is great. Check out DarkThreads for them.

I've heard good things from both Dark Threads and the Ghost Walkers about Save Phace masks, though I don't use full-face masks myself. It might be worth checking out. If you're looking for low-profile eye protection you'll want to check out Revision Bullet Ant goggles. They're fairly fog resistant and are small enough that you can still get good cheek weld with your rifle to sight in or use the scope to scout ahead.

I personally recommend JT USA Spectra Goggles. They have a variety of types that come with thermal lenses. So far these are some of the only goggles that give me no fog and also allow you to detach everything. I used these before I got my ESS Turbo Fans (Which fog unless the fan is going. Fixing this by getting thermal lenses soon) So far I have converted a lot of players to the JT USA Spectras who used to have a ton of fogging issues, who now have near no fogging issues.
I also had a pair of Save Phace, but sold them due to fogging problems and also for the fact that they can not be broken down into individual pieces. However, many people really like the Save Phace and they work well for them... so It's probably just me being a fog machine. lol
Anyways, I would recommend either the JT USA, Save Phace, or Revisions. I wear Revision Desert Locusts without too much issue... (Except for when it's really humid out) and I also have Thermal Lenses on the way that will hopefully eliminate that issue. Stay away from the rebranded stuff. Get a good pair of goggles so you won't have to deal with them later.
If you would like to check them out, I have all of the above goggles in my shop and Death Idol may have some more Save Phace on hand. Currently I only have one of those available at my shop.

I'll second the JT goggles. I've used them for years, tried other brands to only come back to JT spectra. Get the 7 or 8 flex models (i think those are the ones) They have the rubber flex bottoms, go for the pro ones because the ear pieces are flex as well that way you can still shoulder your weapon without the mask moving on ya and messing with your aim and vision.
I've used them with paintball then airsoft, no regrets.

I just bought a JT Spectra ProFlex Revolution from Amped. I am also a heavy fogger but had absolutly no fog with it. So far ive only used it at TRP so it was off and on a lot(30 min battles with time in between).
Sighting was still a bit difficult for me, using M4 regular iron sights, but i think sighting is difficult any full face mask.
Also the price was pretty much the same as the Save Phace, which is what i was considering until i talked to Angus. I would definitly recomend this mask or any other JT Spectra.

The JT proflex is the only full face mask i can think of that you can still use with sights because the lower part bends fairly easy and wont bother you much plus the thermal lens you can get is the BEST in the market... NO FOGGING EVER!!!!!!!

just an addition to my previous post:
I also used Fog-tech and swear by that as well, for those who have issues with fogging even with thermals.
