LOW PROFILE PB Goggles ???

Looking for some recommendations on LOW PROFILE paintball goggles. I am looking for something as low profile as possible.
Thanks

This is what a lot of the guys here wear since we play on a paintball field, they don't obstruct your cheekweld or aiming very much, plus coupled with thermal lenses and anti-fog spray, they have never fogged up on me.

EDIT: Their name is the JT spectres

I just had to begrudgingly buy paintball goggles as well.
Went with the JT Spectra ProShield like most other milsim folk.

Note that I can't speak for the other newer ones in the Spectra line (Flex 8 etc).
The "ProSheild" is the original Spectra and features (for sure) a detachable mask etc.
And with the helmet pushed up ever so slightly, they fit with an MICH 2001, so probably as low profile as a PB goggle will get. Because still, they are more akin to fat ski goggles than a Desert Locust or other dedicated helmet one.

Yep, that is exactly what I was talking about. For the mask you just unhook a few things and the mask pretty much falls apart

to keep your eyes warm...


and to reduce fogging... thermal lense is 2 lenses with an airspace between ... they tend to fog less

Ge the JT elite, they are smaller and lower profile than spectras, with a smaller lense and less thinkness. They fit under a protec helmet where spectras will not. The foam is also closed cell around the eyes and does not absorb water and sweat like spectras (less fogging that way). They usually do not come with the thermal lense, you will have to buy it separately. I do not have a fan and these stay fog free with the thermals installed. (And I sweat see pic )
These are cheap from Canadian Tire but you just need to find the replacement thermal lense elsewhere.
