I used to be an adventurer...

... But then I took a BB to the goggles.

There appears to be no obvious damage and the shot was at some range, however is it the case as with cycle helmets and the like that on taking a hit I should consider replacing my goggles?

 

[Lozart]

Is there any visible damage? How cheap are they? What's their impact rating?

 

[Cady]

For the sake of £20 I think I'd replace them. I've had some near misses with my eyes at work and lesson learned, but the thought of taking a bb to the eye scares the s**t out of me.

Is there some obvious detail missing that I don't see? I cant conceive of a situation where a normal goggle impact would necessitate replacement.

£20 seems kinda cheap.

As others have said I wouldn't replace them unless there's visible damage. If you are using some cheapo pair it's probably a good time to get some from a reputable manufacturer like Bolle, ESS or Revision.

Decent eye protection shouldn't take more than a scratch from shots at close range, at least that's what i've experienced first hand.

 

[Samurai]

you shouldn't

No visible representation of damage whatsoever. I think I'll be OK for now but thanks for the input team!

My Bolle glasses were only a tenner.... I have seen eye pro for a hell of a lot more, but these do the job nicely..

I wouldnt bother replacing unless there was a split, chip or such. Besides my forehead seems to take all the face shots I get, its like a frigging magnet!

 

[Aunty Pasty]

Bolle for me at less than £10 each. I have 2 pairs of different styles and they're fine. Unless they're permanently marked I'd keep using them.

You can get some very high quality glasses for £20 so it's nothing to be alarmed about
