steakandpotato Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 As it says on the tin. Mesh goggles are starting to get a bit annoying to use and from what I hear - not the safest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted January 22, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 22, 2018 I used Bollé Trackers for a good few months and after I removed the foam they hardly fogged at all. I never used any anti fog spray or wipes either so I imagine if you applied a solution to them it may remove the problem entirely. At £10 you can't complain. I would highly recommend the ESS ICE or Crossbows however. They're not full seal but they're an excellent pair of eye pro if you run a helmet of some sort. They'll also work with the MK6 you mentioned in a previous thread whereas the Bollé Trackers won't. They start at around £20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Revision, Oakley, Wiley-X, Bollé, ESS.. I personally use Vega Holster (italian RS company) shooting glasses, ballistic rated and they rarely fog unless i have a mesh lower face pro or something pumping hot humid air into the lens.. I also have a pair of Valken Sierra, dual pane goggles but the frame is tooooooo thick and hinders my view (i literally have to bend to see my chest rig).. Remember, the key is ventilation, pick the most ventilated thing you can get your hands on... or force ventilation to happen (small pc fans + 9v battery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuff Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've tried every make going,(I could be classed as a sweaty old git) and the only ones that have worked for me are the fanned type available inconjunction with anti-fog wipes and a 70's style sweatband=stylish and dry... I've tried during my time as a paintballer and in airsoft..other things seem to work for other people,I think it depends how sweaty you are..

Davegolf Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 LOL non fog goggles! Most goggles are fine all the time you are moving and theres airflow, its when your still the fog descends! Mesh or fan assist is the only solution really, im not the tye the perspires much during exercise yet fog is unescapeable?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 22, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2018 Fans in your goggles and Revision Anti-fog wipes = no fog. Like honestly.. no fog. And I wear glasses.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryman Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Ooh I can help out here. Bolle Commander googles. Ex surplus under £20 (Ex Gulf War) Revision Bullet Ant - still in service now. About £25 brand new from surplus shops. These are both military issue. Very comfortable, hard wearing and going to exceed any energy limits in airsoft by a country mile. In case like me anyone wears glasses, the Bolle Commander allow you to wear standard spectacles underneath and the Revision Bullet Ant goggles allow you to buy an insert +/- £10 for prescription lenses that clip in.

steakandpotato Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thanks guys - I didn't realise that wearing a lower face mesh could cause further fogging. Will do some research on the suggestions and will pick the best ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(EN166 F), whereas I think for Airsoft we would really require a lens rated to medium impact (EN166 B)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a point blank test when I first bought them with my own AEG and they held up just fine. I'll take your word for it, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they will withstand it(evidently as you’ve actually tested it), but if you see the specifications for each - EN166B Medium energy impact, resists a 6 mm, 0.86 g ball at 120 m/s EN166F Low energy impact, resists a 6 mm, 0.86 g ball at 45 m/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
