Eye Protection - Mesh or no mesh?

[Ian_Gere]

Yeah, more than 1 hit wouldn't be unlikely, because getting hit in the head is always a bit alarming, even when you trust your eyepro, so one which you didn't notice could've hit and forced its way between the pod and frame. Alarming! I'm going to have to do some tests on mine. I feel pretty sure that they fit the shape of my face snugly enough that a BB couldn't get in that way.

I think it's more likely that a BB would push through the rubber trim that seals the goggles to your face than through the gap created when they are open as I've just just tried pushing a BB through and it just got stuck about 1/3 of the way through.

Thing is if a BB pushed through the seal, unless you have the V12s so loose they are dangerous anyway I would be confident it would completely drop the velocity of the BB as it gets inside, whereas I'm sure I am not the only one that has got a welt from a Ricochet at close to medium range

The main weak point I've noticed is there is a small gap where the bridge of my nose is, but it is about half the width of a BB and I guess would depend on the shape of your head/nose. I toyed with the idea of putting a couple of thin strips of padding along that area but I think it will make them more prone to fogging.

I had some Heroshark eyepro that was roughly the size of ski googles and they had slits on either side of your eye that a BB would fit through, albeit snugly. Again I toyed with plugging the holes but never bothered as they were my backups, till I lost them/someone stole them.

Talking about larger frames the ones I have just ordered Heroshark has updated his facebook page with photos of his creations, one of which is the OTG goggle frames:

Hopefully get them later this week!
