callumbagshaw Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bolle-TRACKER-Safety-Glasses-CLEAR-LENS-Airsoft-Eye-Protection-Army-Goggles/361021722361?epid=1588122590&hash=item540e924ef9:g:~O0AAOxyu4dRraCj The description says: they will resist medium velocity impacts at temperature extremes. "Medium velocity impact" seems incredibly subjective. If I get hit by a truck at medium velocity it'll probably hurt more than being hit by a puppy at medium velocity. If anyone knows whether these are genuinely safe, please let me know and I'll get a pair Cheers, Cal.
Arwen Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Yes, but way cheaper on amazon. I used to wear them, they fog easily but take direct hits from reasonably close range no bother.
Tommikka Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 BOLLE specs are on their website, and rates the Bolle tracker with clear lens as: B. Medium energy impact, resists a 6 mm, 0.86 g ball at 120 m/s. 120 metres per second is 393.7 feet per second http://www.bolle-safety.com/uploads/tech/tracker-gb-ft.pdf
Duff Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Got my Bolle Silium Platinums from Patrolbase for less than £15 posted. Same rating, super lightweight and have personally been drilled in the face with an accidental full auto burst from about 10 ft direct to the lense the very first time I fielded them. They never fog, after a game I wipe the sweat running down them and I'm good to go. The sweat cascade doesn't even affect vision. I have both clear and smoke and I can even use the smoke at night which I found pretty amazing.
callumbagshaw Posted July 12, 2018 Author Posted July 12, 2018 Awesome I'll get myself a pair thanks for the speedy responses all.
Georgeturner2001 Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 My friend has the trackers and they always Fog up due to them being full seal.

Yeah the Silium Platinum range are just specs rather than goggles. Some worry that a bb will get up underneath them. The chances of that happening are slim, more likely to get a bb directly up the nasal passage and into the brain than that shit happening.

Yeah I’ve worn glasses for a while and I’ve not had any issues, can be quite scary when you take a direct hit though!

Agree. I actually went back to the safezone so I could take them off and check they were intact. Not an effin scratch, impressed I was.

I held back ...... but ....., “full face, full face!!!!!” 99% of Paintball masks can be used for airsoft, and that other 1% or less is due to the air holes but the eye zone should be safe and sealed
