New players in Reading

Sometimes we get a thread where we can just ramble on lol.

Regarding newbies and the forum members. These guys are good guys from what I can tell. (yet to play with any of them though lol)

Regarding eyepro I personally wear the full seal goggles for everything (I have expensive Revision Desert Locusts which are overkill as they are military grade lol). Glasses will work fine though, fog up less and are cheaper... it's personal preference really for that... JUST DO NOT BUY CHEAP EYEPRO/FACEMASKS

 
You'll want something protecting your teeth at the mall Jay.

Shooting glasses are ok (most of the time) for woodland distances, but for the mall it only takes an accidental quick aimed shot at your teeth to shear them clean in half.

Or even worse, stuck in your tongue like this guy:

I use a full seal Goggle with a mesh lower cable tied to it. With fans in the top.

Works well, no fog, comfy, fits over glasses

I was just searching the forums to whether or not mesh lower masks is actually suitable for CQB, but i guess it must be lol. Good to know.

Wish i invested in the fan variant of my goggles tbh though... Not that it'll matter, I don't sweat too much.

 
The fans were fitted as a modification to mine.

Two mini fans running off of two AAA batteries with a switch box.

 
Oh? I may have to do that at some point then... Will see how badly I fog up at Bravo 1 this weekend first though.

Jeeze. I just come in from work and expected 1 or 2 replies. Looks like the mall is the place to go. I had heard that it’s not the best place to start for a newbie but looks like a few of you guys are willing to take a couple of newbies under your wing. I will sort out a date with my friend and see when we can both make it. I work late sometimes but I’m getting the feeling a Thursday might be a good shout for a couple of beginners. Don’t want to walk out looking like a cheese grater. What are most of you guys wearing for eye pro. I thought the full on ski goggles was the best way to go but 90% of the videos I have seen are of the sunglass type. Don’t mind buying these prior to going as may still have previous occupants sweat on the rental protection

To be honest the Sunday is the better day for new players as it is a more varied skill level. Although to be honest there are not really any players who go there who are exactly superstars.

I would recommend using the rental gear as contrary to popular belief not everyone enjoys it and then at least you haven't wasted cash It is cleaned so you won't catch anything. It is always best to get a game or two to see what suits you as we are all different and every recommendation is biased by our personal choices.

Post up when down and I will do my best to make it and then you will get the pleasure of me giving you the new visitor tour.

Oh no I wont need a mask or anything. I may have bought the I4 by the time I get to the mall lol.

Gonna be March maybe even April so plenty of time for me to make a choice lol.

 
By the sounds of it though, a cleaning cloth wont be a bad choice to take if you hire the mask and kit! lol.

 
god damn this thread makes me want to move to Reading lol. Would make life much easier. For airsoft at least

That is the best sort of gear for the mall, minimalist and simple. Speed and aggression usually wins the day in there.
