Goggles

Post by SquadronROE » Wed Jun 29, 2011 7:28 am

What goggles do you guys tend to use? I'm shopping around online for some full seal ANSI 87 goggles, and they seem to be fairly expensive (I'm looking at these guys.).

Flakjaks are pretty good. You can get them from cheaperthandirt.com for 15 bucks. They do sometimes fog due to humidity, but I took out the top and bottom fin things to stop that, and they work great

There have been a lot of games since the last fatality. Roses are red, violets are blue, so is your car at 102

Once you go mesh you will never want goggles again.

I actually have ESS Goggles with fan and they have never fogged up, but I sweat a ton, so I typically wear mesh goggles unless the game limits mesh.

I don't know where Mr. E (BaldEagle) got them, but he generously gifted some lovely mesh goggles to my younger brother and myself. They didn't fit him.

Mesh is better than goggles in almost every situation. IMO

As a person with glasses. I hate mesh. it makes my eyes go all wonky. I like a nice simple over the glasses pair of shop glasses thats ansi rated. Barring that, or during the fall/winter. Flak Jaks fit my glasses the best

You need to try what Ron did with his mask. He tore the mesh flakjaks right out of it. So it fits over glasses.

I sweat too much for the foam. Flak Jaks have a fantastic liner, I dont sweat thru, so those are nice

Watch out for the mesh goggles, They are being banned from a lot of fields. Apparently if you get shoot with a "600 FPS gun from 5 feet away" the bbs will break apart upon impact of the goggle sending shards into your eyes. I know a lot of people who love them and I sell them. I have yet to run into any problems with mesh goggles i shot them with Reasonable FPS guns and reasonable distances and never seen an issue.

I have one gripe about those goggles they do not give you yellow lenses. If they did they would be a true gem.
