Which gun???? Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hey guys, So I encountered a problem where I have glasses but I want to play airsoft at the same time too. I looked into OTG goggles and I found this Paintball mask. Its called EMPIRE HELIX THERMAL GOGGLES selling for around £30. Its a suitable and comfortable mask for paintball but I'm not so sure for airsoft as the FPS for airsoft tends to higher. Should I get them or should I get the BOLLE PILOT GOGGLES for £15 instead? Or possibly something else? My budget is around £15-£45. Thx everyone for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aengus Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The mask will be fine for airsoft. If its not this disclaimer removes my liability to being sued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Gepard Posted October 18, 2018 Supporters Share Posted October 18, 2018 If they're being used for paintball they will be fine for Airsoft. If its not this disclaimer removes my liability to being sued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshOnSnow Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Should also have an ISO rating to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommikka Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 All genuine paintball goggles to ASTM/ISO standards can be used for airsoft This includes the Helix https://www.bzpaintball.co.uk/blog/paintball-mask-buying-guide/ As long as BBs are being fired at UK legal energy levels then the lens will take them easily BBs can be fired at a higher velocity, but due to size and weight are still within the energy ratings of the firearms act etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
