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.

If they're being used for paintball they will be fine for Airsoft. 

 

If its not this disclaimer removes my liability to being sued

Should also have an ISO rating to be sure

All genuine paintball goggles to ASTM/ISO standards can be used for airsoft

 

This includes the Helix

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
