Paul 8v Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Hi, I'm looking to get some goggles from ebay but I've no way of knowing whether they conform to saftey standards and if I'll be able to use them on site, would something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/China-Airsoft-Wind-D...=item5d2cb72b9c be acceptable? It says they're for airsoft but no mention of saftey standards Regards Paul
G-Force Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 they are probably ok... however theres no point taking a chance with your eyes, I would buy from an airsoft shop. If you do get these test them with your gun.
JerseyRider Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 DO NOT cheap out on eye protection..... You only have one set of eyes....
Paul 8v Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks guys, can you reccomend any goggles that will suit a USMC Force Recon Loadout (As I've recently aquired some Marpat cheap :-) ) I don't want to spend loads and loads on them, will the Viper ones do for example?
Supporters Matt! Posted February 1, 2011 Supporters Posted February 1, 2011 I had a pair of them worked well and didn't fog up. Just make sure you test them first, as it is made in china they can all be different.
Paul 8v Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 I've found some bolle ones (tracker) which conform to EN 166 F, is this the standard the sites will be looking for when they check your gear? http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trk...-All-Categories
JerseyRider Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Chances are the sites wont "test" your eye protection.... As long as you have it on their insurance covers you
bigshep Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I have the chinese bolle x800's. Had a fair few goggle shots at ground zero urban from about 5meters and they are fine, no cracks nothing. They don't fog up as they have a small air gap all the way round, all in all a good buy (but then I went and bought some mesh ones, as I do tend to overheat as I am a rather "big" gent. Whatever you do get, make sure it has a head strap, as you do not want the safety glasses falling off mid game
Bluegill Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I have Bolle Trackers to go with my Woodland loadout, they're comfortable but I still feel somewhat vulnerable. I plan to get a lower face mesh mask that meets the bottom of the glasses so I'm covered from chin to brow.
