    Yes and no, so these have a venting capability, and when that is able to remain open, it stays pretty well fog free. If you are in a VERY humid environment, they will fog without some sort of decent Anti-Fog. However, these are still one of my favorite eyepro with a gasket because they don't fog as bad as other full seal eye pro I have used.

    Thats awesome man! Glad to hear it helped out, spred the word LOL.

I figure it’s not a QC thing, since it’s a widely reported issue for other repro brands as well (eg krydex). Luckily, I was able to hop on a used SS Mk5 since my last comment. Seems like this is one of the instances where the real deal ends up paying off. Now just time to wait for the tricerts to come back in stock!

    @@Muddy_Reviews Definitely a baller on a budget here haha. If I could run all real steel gear and support US made gear/innovations, I absolutely would, but it adds up pretty fast. For me, it’s all about picking and choosing. Controversial opinion here, but I figure a lot of repro gear is good enough. Just to have to do some research. Have yet to really see any repro gear fail after 7 years of active duty on the airsoft field. The wosport grocery pouch for me was one of those ‘good enough purchases.’ Another reviewer even claimed it was NIR compliant! I do have to say though, that I am much more proud to own the real deal!

    I can't give you a complete itemized price list, but all in close to 3700$. The uniform was purchased in Euro while in Spain and was around 250$ for Spanish Marines Desert cammies and combat shirt. Helmet was completely built out with real components. The Opscore Worm dial Lux liner was 200$ by itself. The entire helmet is easily 300+ for the entire build. PC was a little under 400$ and with all of the pouches, it was close to 800$. The gun was used and was around 250$ with the light, PEQ, AFG and Eotech I am in for close to 700$, mags I am in for about 160$, the entire belt kit was a little over 300$ and the pistol and light around 225$. This is an estimate and could easily fluctuate a few hundred dollars to the left or right. Now keep in mind this was slowly built out from around 2019-2021, and it still isn't fully done. I also didn't cut too many corners and used mostly real kit, and the only repro kit in the entire thing is the Opscore shell. Ohhh, I forgot about the Altama Maritime assault boots as well...those were around 100$.
