2) It's a single lens design, and despite Oakley generally having fairly good anti-fog coatings and a decent standoff distance between the lens and your face, I've found that these goggles fog extremely easily. As tacticool as they look, they're actually one of the worst goggles I've ever worn in terms of fogging.
I was thinking of going with the turbo fan which could reduce some of the fogging and also protect the top portion of the seal? As a recent convert from paintball, I still own two or three masks that took a beating but I never tested them with a 6mm BB. I get to put my KWC Makarov with it's 400+ FPS to the test, now.

What are some recommendations in terms of safety and reduced fogging issues and also have prescription inserts available for them? This is why I bring these questions to you, my most estimable colleagues.
