Abstract
A goggle, for use, for example, in paintball, comprises a lens, a body structurefor the lens and a strap. The body structure defines an ocular chamberthat covers the wearer's eyes, and an exhalation chamberthat covers the wearer's nose and mouth. An inlet plenum channelleads from an inlet chamberin the front of the goggleup to the lower edge of the lens, and a fanin the plenum channelblows air from the inlet upwards across the inner surface of the lens. Air exhaled by the wearer leaves the exhalation chamber through outlet aperturesin the bottom of the mask, and is therefore directed away from the duct inlet chamber
