No for airsoft, but I use airfed respirators at work all day which is pretty much the same. I wouldn't want anything less than an advantage 1000 because visibility with gas masks/respirators suck and you will get hot no matter if it has a fan or not. Cardio + rubber against your face is not a good equations. If I were looking for the gasmask look with comfort I'd slap a filter on a facemask. Achieve the look without any of the discomfort.

Just my 2 cents,
Andy

Horrible. On a whim, my fiend and I both bought them, one black and he got tan. Lens came out of the black one and the fan barely worked in either one. He later gave me his and I put both of the fans on my black one and it was 'fair' as best. I glued both lens back in and later both popped out of the tan one as well. Cheapo junk.

Suggestion, buy a decent DYE I3 mask and be done with it.

If you like the gas mask look you can use one of those 3M masks with one of the filters removed.
With a pair of Flak Jakk goggles they do not fog.

Just found a sweet deal on the Toyko Mauri pro goggles.....I , use to have a 3m NBC mask, if I still had I would retrofit it with a fan. The TM mask looks pretty decent and the knock off of it looks ok as well.

I currently use the knockoff goggles with fan (no mask) and have never had a real issue with them. they are a little on the large side, but I wear glasses and they fit comfortably. A little distortion on your peripheral vision. All in all, worth the $30
