| They never fog if you take the vents out, as far as the gloves they are Oakley SI Assault gloves. They can be seen on US soldiers in iraq, VERY nice gloves. | |

| Couple questions....Where and how much were the Oakleys?
Why do you have a Sarge insignia(granted its cool)?
Are you gonna put any patches on your K-pot? | |

| the helmet will have a IR beacon on the back (real steal), a black USA path and a EOD patch I have, the oakleys I got on Ebay, they retail for around 50-80 on ebay or 70 on oakleys website, I have the sarge rank on my arm due to our teams rank system | |

Wait, aren't Oakley SI's leather and synthetics? Or is that just the palm? I was about to picking up some non-Oakley gloves with PVC knuckles...for about the same price. Didn't realize the Oakley's were that cheap... Well that changes things. You've had no problems with tearing or failing seams? | |

| Hmmm... I see, Another thing about these gloves are they are made for both cold and hot weather, they breathe in the heat and are very comfy and warm in winter | |
