neither, and it doesn't show on the site. Must not have been a deliberate leak and they've been censored. You didn't happen to save the photo did you?

The bottom two are of the 'Predator' line, the mouthguard (yellow piece) is a different material which is still flexible (black is very flexible, between Flex 7 and Profiler material) but more rigid so it stops shots in the centre face breaking your lips like it can with other goggles. The black is very soft in this level of mask, for glancing shots and bounces/comfort. In essence the whole faceplate is rigid enough to keep it's shape because of the way it is designed, with those channnels, but soft and flexible for comfort and fit and getting in close to your gun (it makes anyone in a Profiler look like a fat cheeked kid, and anyone in a Flex 7 look like a wide mouthed frog). The reduction in target it makes to your head is astounding. It has the same space where your head fits in and in front of your mouth for breathing, but none of the wasted space at the sides of your cheeks where you don't need it.

There aren't vents on the side because it was found they don't do much apart from make it harder to clean a goggle, and to actually cause paintballs to break on the hard edges, by removing them there was no loss to the anti fogging technologies implemented, but more paintballs glanced off, and the mask was easier to clean. The front of the mouth area is also soft enough to bounce a direct hit. Anything below the yellow frame you can see just below the lens is flexible, rigid enough to protect your nose and mouth but still flexible. It was actually intended to be a second material so it was more rigid while still flexing in order to absorb the energy of a direct paintball hit in the face/mouth to stop it hurting your mouth and the side effect is that not only does it save your mouth but 'can' bounce a hit from straight on. Not a bad side effect though...

There will be single and thermal lenses available.

The top one is the mid level version. The faceplate is all one material which is still flexible but more rigid than the Predator series. It offers more protection from impacts but slightly less chances of glancing or bouncing balls (although the material is soft enough and the design still helps that to happen). The mouth guard is the same material and colour as the faceplate here so you don't get the 'Predator Fangs' look. It is still flexible in the mouth again to help take the energy out of any straight on shots that might bust your lips.

What these don't show you is how the lens works or some of the funky stuff inside. Not sure now that these are leaked if we are going to release more info or not. It's not supposed to be released until World Cup.

The lens system is a quick release system with some very advanced safety technology implemented. It's unlike anything else available.

If you don't like the 'Predator' series with the two tone, you can get black on black predator which just looks awesome (that's what I am wearing). Matched with the smoke lens it's got quite a style to it. Sick.

Are these them? They don't look that different (IMHO). What have they "fixed"?

they are just abit more flexable in the rubber and a little lighter, and they stay on your head :) that was always my issue with them, they used to bounce off when you dived.
