This is the more coverage variant. Gold visor and rose tinted clear visor included, as well as the carry case and the swappable top to remove the sun visor. Squishyish so you can still ADS with this on. Moved to a mask with integrated glasses inside because I'm blind so not used anymore. Probs worn 4-5 times.£110

This is a good point. In 25 years playing I've seen bbs get in nonsealed or I'll fitted eye protection around 10 times at a game . 2 of those incidents leaded to lasting reduced vision which did improve with time. And I've only read about one other well documented case, although there has to be more. The worst ones are usually when there is a direct line to the eye like over the top of glasses when going prone.
-
The thing is though - the post stated that they are not marked, and having found it on Temu, they are not sold as PPE Only the spammed listing title mentions paintball, the activities don’t have any impact related activities, the product details call them ‘decorative glasses’ and the safety statement has no safety claims They aren’t sold as PPE - buyer beware …… and the buyer should certainly have ‘bewared’
-
You have to be 18 to wear glasses. You signed your life (eye balls) away when you arrive if you choose to wear non full face in the designated game area. Being an adult you get to choose if you want to risk it for a biscuit. If by wearing glasses you put someone else's safety at risk it would be a different story but am very much "if what you do is not hurting anyone else and it makes you happy, crack on". What Tommikka posted is disgusting. Selling something marked as PPE when its in fact not is criminal.
-
Yet every field I go to is quite happy to allow standard shooting glasses/non full seal safety glasses that are rated yet provide a clear line of sight to the wearers eyeballs from multiple oblique angles.....

Being fat and slow I sweat and steam up terribly, least that is until I made a novritsch antifog unit compatible with the ess ice glasses I have, works a treat and I haven’t fogged up again since. I get the impression that it’s different strokes for different folks and this is very much a case of finding something that works for you, saying that I’d second the novritsch stuff now as it just seems to work.

Hopefully from a certain Heroic Elasmobranch Cartilaginous Fish gentleman? (I sent him a pair of my Guard Dog Evader 2's to put his mesh in, with a multi-cam paint job, and I use them all the time as a DMR / Sniper. However, I have eye glasses under them and somehow these still steam up a little so I still run an ExFog on my boonie)

I’m not the right person to help with glasses type such as the Blocs as I hate them as a protection - impact is fine with glasses, (as long as they are designed for inpact). But they have to fit, be worn properly and securely (I’ve seen so many BBs get in via the side etc - which seems OK when the energy is lost on the way, but that’s a failure) Glasses types should not be fogging internally (If it was just with that type I’d be suggesting to consider also whether it is external - try them then do a finger wipe) The cause will be air flow due to all the additional factors of mesh guards etc Try wearing your different options in different conditions. Eg if you just sit down inside in ambient conditions, not being active - you should have zero fogging with glasses alone as you aren’t generating extra & trapping your breath Then move on to moving around and heavier breathing. If you have fogging without excess breathing then you’re either a very heavy breather or a heat source Once you’ve ideally cracked getting fog free glasses try again with your mesh - again with no activity, moving to mild and stronger activity - the difference would be the extra air flow problems / air being forced into the glasses/goggles

Ventilation, ventilation, ventilation! (and some anti fog). On my mesh masks I trim some of the vertical (or horizontal) bits of wire out, it just reduces the amount of wire giving protection and increases the size of the holes for the moisture to escape through. I have had some face shots still "hit me", but nothing compared with not wearing a mask. I also glued a bit of rubbery type material to the inside of it at the top so it causes a "seal" against my face, this way the hot, moist air from my breath goes forward and out, not up to the inside of my glasses. I then don't wear any scarfs/neck buff things, everything I can to get sweat to evaporate. If I am wearing a helmet, a couple of buffs cut in half to absorb the sweat, I say a couple because I keep the spare dry ones in my pockets and I then change these when respawning or between games if I am very sweaty. This also stops any sweat from my head etc running down and adding to my problems. Always use anti fog coating on the inside of my glasses. I use the Bob hopes visor spray for motor bike riders, I have heard some people say they felt it damaged their glasses, but I run cheap Bolle Siliums from screwfix which I generally replace every 6 months or so (so I am not bothered, works for me). I reapply at lunch and religious about doing it before the game starts. If it still fogs, I find just moving the glasses a couple of mms away from my face helps with the air flow around them too (this is rare and isn't enough to cause a safety issue).

Currently using bloc glasses. With a mesh lower for a mouth shield. I feel the main issue is heat and moisture from the mesh somehow coming back up into the eye area. Why I question this is because I’ve used googles with a full seal and still get issues. So… that thought process brought me to using anti fog solutions to coat the lens. I don’t normally run hot or sweaty. So the next thing is to move the warm air completely away from the eye area or increase the area in which the fogging is occurring to help prevent it. I’ve found a company who has them. But no spare lenses or replacement lenses. That’s the but which has put me off. Getting the spares

New to Airsoft - What Full Face to get?
heroshark replied to WillMidz's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Pb masks always seemed a bit bulky for my liking, Even the low profile designs. I'd always recommend a glasses/goggles and mesh mask combo. I like using the small profile one Tigris masks as the majority of generic china made mesh masks over shoot your chin by a mile, which pushes the mask up into your eye pro when you look down. The other issue I've found with all these masks is they are not a great shape. Face wise and the eye pro contour so they do need tweaking. Finally I would say if you can attach the mask to the eye pro if you can. This has a couple of benefits. It stops the gap between the mask and eye pro and there's less straps to deal with around your head. As for eye pro that's a very much down to what works for you. Obviously mesh is incredibly dangerous. I've lost several eyes over the years and I'm only left with 2 working eyes now. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CQgvp7gqIlt/?igsh=eXV6YXgxcWNhNXph -
New to Airsoft - What Full Face to get?
Tommikka replied to WillMidz's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
All (legitimate) paintball goggles are suitable as full face airsoft goggles. As mentioned an alternative for airsoft is a combination of eye protection plus face shield Dye became the go to goggles in airsoft, perhaps partly due to looks & speedsofters, but perhaps also because their designs tend to be compact Thet work better with small heads, eg I had i3s but the i4 left out my chin, and pretty much the bottom of my mouth Some features loved by airsofters and attributed to Dye are the equivalents that are found in all premium paintball goggles - better air flow, soft rubber bodies (aids getting your chin into your stock for sights), and dual pane lenses took some time to come as default with the budget/rental grades My personal favourite (that can be bought) are GI/VForce Grills - these also have handy slots in the foam for glasses users Number one is eye protection - I will always point away from glasses types of eye protection and try to direct to a goggle style even when not full face (eg snowboard / ski style goggles) Number two is your head - what fits comfortably and works for air flow with one head doesn’t with another If you can then try goggles on. If you’re lucky enjoy then go to a bricks & mortar shop where you can ask and try some on, failing that ask other players about theirs - everyone loves to talk about their gear, most will let you try on their goggles Spares are less of an issue - the main brands usually have a range of lenses so you can choose clear for common use, a tint for open sunlight etc. But when it comes to the lenses getting old the goggles are probably getting a bit tired so you may want a fresh strap - add those together and you’re usually pretty close to the price of replacing them Main brands do however usually provide other spares right down to replacement foam and clips The grills were popular and didn’t change their core design for many years, opting to bring out colour variations - I therefore often bought a new set every year at discounted prices as the new seasons pretty colour mix came out This means I change goggles rather than changing lens for a sunny / dull / indoor / outdoor game - or my bright marshalling set -
I have the Dye SE Thermal full face mask, but I also have a pair of Glasses and mesh Half face mask too that I wear As others have mentioned a full face makes using optics hard without a riser so that is something to consider

Rogerborg replied to WillMidz's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Good point. @WillMidzare you dead set on full face? Glasses/goggles (polycarb or mesh) + a mesh+fabric lower face mask like this (not a recommendation, just a for-example) provides a good combination of protection and cheek-weldability. -

The_Lord_Poncho replied to WillMidz's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I bought the valken mi-7, recommended above by Rogerborg, as my first mask, and it has been pretty good. I've managed to mist it up a few times, really depends on the weather. These days it soldiers on as a loaner (along with some cheap kombat full face masks with a mesh goggle section). Personally I prefer a reasonable quality set of mesh goggles paired with a separate mesh and fabric lower face guard. My first pair of nuprol mesh goggles have taken tens of hits ( maybe 30 or so, I wasn't counting) with about 6 visible dents before I decided to retire them and replace with a identical pair. The mesh vs polycarbonate lense debate rages on, but I have confidence in them (certainly much more so than the plethora of open sided/non full seal shooting glasses you see people wearing), with the slight draw back of the darker picture significantly offset by the fact you never need to worry about fogging. -
Welcome! You have nothing to apologise for. We were all there once. As ButcherBill said, I would personally recommend either renting guns at a site first (or buying used) then buying RIFs after getting your UKARA number. As tempting as it is to buy your own guns first, you'd have to buy two-tone until you have UKARA or a suitable defence. Selling them on can be quite difficult unless you're willing to take a significant loss. I'm not aware of any airsoft site whose insurance doesn't stipulate full-face protection for under-18s so you'd need to look for a mask for your lad. In addition to EDcase's suggestion to look for posts about the best eyepro, your safest bet is to look at dedicated airsoft/paintball retailers. I wouldn't trust AliExpress/Temu (I'd also be very cautious with eBay and Amazon unless they specialise in airsoft gear) for eyepro as there are lots of resellers lacking much in the way or moral qualms who either peddle fake goods that aren't safety rated while their legitimate counterparts are. sell off the shelf googles and slap "airsoft" in the description to make a quick quid EN166B (full seal around the eyes) for goggles or ANSI Z87 for glasses are the safety standards you should look out for. Bloc's product specs give a good example https://www.bloctactical.com/bolt -
The Well Pro is a strange one as it uses VFC mags but (so I'm told) is similar to the Zet system internally. Salvo is Double Eagle with a moustache and fake glasses 🥸 same as APFG is to VFC

The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Emergencychimps replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
Did a filmsim at gunman tuddenham and it's one of the best days of airsoft I've had in a while, the sort of day you go "yeah, this is how airsoft is meant to be" and I entirely lay the responsibility at the head marshalls' (for the day) door. He was in the field, enthusiastic, pro active marshalling. Everything clicked, good site, reasonable games, sensible rules, good sportsmanship. It wasn't the absolute best day ever or the most unique event, it was just a good, solid day. 2 long games, medic rules blah blah blah. The in game marshalls' worked nicely, the head marshall was great and super hands on. If you want a bit more immersive than an average skirmish id recommend checking out a filmsim at tudds. Hopefully Nell keeps running them and with the same enthusiasm and work/input for many years, but my advice would be to take advantage now, while you can cause if/when he stops these will be the games that we'll hark back to with our rose tinted glasses on. -
