I'm pretty sure I know most of the pros and cons between these two masks, but I'm still not sure which one to buy. I used to have an older Dye Invision, and I thought it was great. The only problem I have with the Dye masks is how hard it is to change the lens, but that doesnt really bother me too much anymore. I've also heard great things about the E-Vents, especially about they're quick-release lens system, but I don't personally know anyone who can get one. Apparently they're very hard to come by. They're also just a bit more expensive than the I3, which i can very easily find. I've also heard that the E-vents don't offer as much protection as the I3. I guess i'm posting this because I need some advice: should I buy the Dye I3, or the Empire E-Vent, and why? If you could reply to this post quickly, it would be greatly appreciated. I need to purchase a new mask soon. And please don't try to convince me to buy a different mask than the two above. Thanks.

if u need to buy a new one soon i'd go dye, the e-vents r very hard to find from wut i hear asnd when u do find em they're pretty damn expensive $100+. Try going to ur local shop and trying both on (if they have them both). Or try on one if they only have one, if u like it then buy it.
Events aren't hard to find and well they're 98. The event is better then the I3, I mean it comes with a case, a bag and 2 lenses and the spare lense has a bag for it too. Its very simple yet very good, gives full protection and looks hawt. Well I'm saying that because I am an empire fanboy but its all true.

$95 for events
I would go with those as I am not a fan of the I3's.
With that said, my favorite is still the Proto Axis.

the only advice you need is,
try both of them on. go with the one that fits the best. they are both great masks, but it comes down to comfort. it could be the best mask in the world. but if it dont fit, its worthless. it all comes down to comfort. and you can get the vents all day long on ebay.

I would probably say go E-Vents, although I do think they are kinda skimpy on jowl coverage. I still would take my Profiler over either, hands down, but the E-Vents are pretty pimp.
