Eyewear.... Opinions

[Lockesley]

Ok so I prefer goggle style eyewear over glasses. I personally don't feel "safe" enough in them but I'm having a mare with goggles misting up or being mucho bulky I'm getting to my wits end...
Had a go on my mates ess goggles but they didn't impress me... I'm looking at bolle tracker ii goggles has anyone had these?

Re: Eyewear.... Opinions

I always had trouble with misting/fogging in my glasses or goggles so i switched to mesh and havnt looked back since.

I have been looking at mesh but it's the debate stuff can sneak thru if some idiot is using cheap ammo etc...

Re: Eyewear.... Opinions

Ive never had anything come through any of my different mesh goggles/masks and have never had a first hand experience with someone that has. In other words its rumours if you ask me.

Yes but its never happened.
The only issue is cheap mesh.

Re: Eyewear.... Opinions

I've had eternal frustration with glasses and non-mesh goggles due to unrelenting steaming up. Consequently I tried mesh which eliminated that problem but introduced another. I have pretty bad eyesight and the distortion of mesh renders it even worse, makes playing near impossible.

Anyway, I had a genius idea and ordered a crap pair of kids glasses to my prescription then took off the legs and used the left side for my weakest eye and mounted it inside my ACM mesh goggles and it solved EVERYTHING. The lens isn't closed in enough to steam and whilst playing I don't have the impression I'm wearing mesh goggles.

Either way, I'll never go back to non-mesh. I'll probably invest in some Heroshark goggles at some stage though, they're the dogs b*llocks.

Another shout out for Hero Shark goggles - the Dogs danglies! And not that expensive - £25-30

Re: Eyewear.... Opinions

I grabbed a couple of tiny PC fans and rigged it on my ESS Goggles which work well. You can try to grab some cheap turbo fan type clone goggles so you don't have to hand make something...

Re: Eyewear.... Opinions

Coming from paintball(years and years) I'd tried every mask available and every anti-fog solution.
I tried the Bolle's but I wasn't happy with the side protection and the "moron-on-field" factor so I went mesh.
I found with them focusing was sometimes weird,as soon as daylight faded vision was an issue and trying to look through scopes was impossible.
I've gone back to goggs ESS after reccommendations on here and sunday just gone was the first time I've never had goggs mist up,I use the anti-fog wipe and have removed the dust filters.
I was sceptical but now I'd also reccomend them.

You'll be asking for a cut of the profits at this rate.

Personally I'd go for the ESS V12's, which I did, as I have them.

Regardless of what ever happens I highly highly suggest closed eyewhere. Personally I use Wiley X SG-1s with Heroshark Mesh inserts. Absolutley perfect.

Re: Eyewear.... Opinions

As I mentioned I had a pair of Heroshark Mako's on order so here's a side by side comparison with the usual type of mesh goggles you see.

The base goggles are Bolle so are top notch and the bigger mesh lets a lot more light in - I'm looking forward to using them on my next game day.

Comparison below:

Re: Eyewear.... Opinions

Visor style ballistic glasses (I use Wiley-X Sabre Advanced, but the fit for YOU is far more important than brand names) and an anti-fog wipe (I've used Cat Crap or whatever it's called and more recently Smith Optics, the later being far better)

Actually...a guy in Bristol nearly lost his eye when a bb hit the edge of a metal clip on his goggles and shattered - good quality mesh and good quality bb's but a one in a million freak shot- thankfuly he's recovered but the issue with mesh is there.
