Safe lenses for GP-5?

[H_412]

Hi folks,

I recently got a GP-5 gas mask for posing and the occasional ill-concieved, overheated game :D
The short version is I don't want to take any risks where eyes are concerned and I'd like to get some BB-proof lenses installed over the originals. I have no experience and obviously this isn't something to take lightly, so is there anyone out there who can provide this service?

Thanks a lot,
H

Is that one of those horrible russian rubber gimp masks? :p

If so, surely it wouldnt be too difficult to simply get a small sheet of polycarb and cut out some disks you can either use to replace the lenses, or just stick them ontop of the lenses, double layered protection!

Or do what I did to BB proof the lense of my camera, go to B&Q or somewhere, and buy a pair of dirt cheap bog standard safety goggles like these ones, make some lense covers out of the lenses in them!

Haha, gonna be gimping all over the place :D ehhh, maybe not..
I thought of just buthering some safety glasses, but I know nothing about how that might effect their effectiveness - I wouldn't think it would have an effect, but better safe than sorry, eh? If that's safe, I'll give it a go.

the pbf respirator is better as the lenses are set closer to the face with space to attach a ballistic shield
