Can I use EN 166 Grade B safety glasses for airsoft?

[Flies]

Hey so, my first game is tomorrow, and PatrolBase just messaged me yesterday saying they ran out of the eye pro I ordered, this now leaves me with 2 options, A. Don't even go or B. Buy these (  https://www.toolstation.com/jsp-evo-indirect-vent-goggle-n-rated/p37566?store=EP&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&gclid=CjwKCAiAjMHwBRAVEiwAzdLWGLhfCZG1zlwcdj0Ep2ZIKrV1lmo2BgBl501BUuPNxF3Cv7iVKHfHHxoCjSEQAvD_BwE   ) safety goggles or better if y'all can recommend from the same store.

EN166B is the required standard for airsoft, they should be fine; although they may fog up!

EN166A gives greater impact protection then EN166B

It’s down to your protection ..... and whether the site lets you play with the eye protection you are wearing.

Even if you don’t manage to find something suitable the site may be able to sell you something or have rental kit, failing that a generous player may loan out spares

If it’s your first game I’m assuming you’re renting gun etc which should include eye pro

A is certainly better, yes; but B is more than sufficient for airsoft; as it's rated for impacts of just over 6 joules.

A rated goggles would be rated for 15.36 joules.

EN 166A only applies to face shields though, you won't get goggles or glasses rated to EN 166A so it's largely irrelevant.
