Can we talk about Kirby Morgan vs Ocean Reef for cold water work?
I just finished a 3 week job up in the Puget Sound doing underwater inspections on a pier. I swapped between a Kirby Morgan 37 and an Ocean Reef Neptune GS that the company had. The Kirby felt solid but heavy after 4 hours, while the Ocean Reef was lighter but I had some fogging issues around the 30 foot mark. Has anyone else tried both for longer dives and settled on one over the other?

Kirby Morgan all day for cold water, no contest.

Not quite right though, the Ocean Reef fogging is a user error thing, not a helmet issue.

Hold up, you're telling me fogging in a dive mask isn't a design flaw? I've tried everything from toothpaste to burning the lens and that fog still creeps back in the second I exhale. User error my butt, sometimes it's just bad luck with the air or the water temp. I've seen guys spit in their masks so much it looks like a science experiment and still be wiping it clear every five minutes.
