Angel Monroe Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hello, my name is Angel, I am new to Airsoft. I would like to know which eye wear (NOT MESH) that I can wear with my glasses on, not wearing my glasses is a no no, nor is contact lenses. Any advice or recommendations please ?

EDcase Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Welcome If you wear glasses underneath its ok to use mesh goggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheriffHD Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Having glasses on is a horrible thing is airsoft. two lots of surface to really fog up. Ideally a goggle which sits far from the face is a nice idea. Alternative opitiions are ballistic proscription glasses. which would normally set you back at least £50 for a good set.

Dalno Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have tried multiple brands of goggles and the only one i've liked and fits over my glasses are the Bolle Pilot safety goggles, BUT I do suffer with fogging when it's warm. I would love a pair of prescription safety specs but don't know where to look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedbird_666 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I use Paintball googles (Empire E-Vents) and Fogtech wipes these days. I don't get much in the way of fogging issues with this setup. Tried everything else, including Rx inserts and Polycarbonate prescription glasses from (the now defunct) Tactical Optician. Unfortunately, after 10 years of contact lenses, I can't use them anymore. Tried nearly every brand of disposables but my eyes just won't take them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted March 21, 2021 Supporters Share Posted March 21, 2021 Any of the ‘reputable’ safety glasses that take prescription inserts + sawfly anti fog wipes (what I’ve been using for a good few yrs now)and you’ll be golden . If you can’t get on with inserts and have to use your normal glasses then get some fan assisted goggles over the top of them , my eldest has used this system for a good few yrs as well with no problem .

GothicGhost Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Been using Bolle x1000 Rx goggles for few years now and they made for glasses to fit inside them. https://ukmcpro.co.uk/products/bolle-tactical-x1000-goggles-rx-model I now still use the goggles but have daily disposable contact lenses for less hassle.

Armo1000 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Have a prescription pair of Bolle safety goggles. Can get them from most opticians if you ask. Not cheep but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brophy Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I got a pair of nuprol with lens inserts, got the lens done for £12. I put a review here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebeneezer Goode Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 +1 for contact lenses. Admittedly I've worn them for almost 20 years however for airsoft I'd be utterly knackered if I had to rely on my glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjhirst Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I use these: https://www.safetyspecs.co.uk/view-safety-frames/items-for-sale/rxblack-en166f-mirror-tinted-with-prescription-insert Slightly dearer than some other options but they've been spot on for me.

As they're only rated the EN166F they're not actually rated high enough. The F rating is tested with a 0.86g steel ball at 45m/s which equates to 0.86J. Given that site limits are around 1.13 J (0.2g at 350FPS for an AEG, higher for DMR and BASR) you should be looking at an impact rating of EN 166B or an ANSI equivalent.

Supermoose Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I have a pair of valken tango goggles that came with rx inserts, if your on a budget the googles are decent though they do need some anti fog spray on them, the rx inserts cost me £30 to get my prescription made up.

Impulse Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I use Revision Sawflys with prescription inserts. They're fantastic, and don't fog much when combined with catcrap anti-fog. Also, if you change your mind on mesh, Heroshark does prescription inserts for his Mako frames. I've got a pair and they're fantastic, again I pair them with catcrap anti-fog and I never have any issues fogging because air flow is a lot freer with mesh. Which I choose to use is usually dependent on how I feel. Anyway, having a backup pair of eyepro never hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMole Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Warq Helmet. end of issue No fog of glases, or visor, light and comfy, only one strap to worry about I wear glasses. Tried Dye and Bolle X800, they all still fogged. Warq just doesn't fog, ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get prescription safety glasses from most opticians, If you work in a engineering, workshop environment you could possibly get them as PPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberlawyer Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Personally I’m fond of the Bolle Tracker II with a prescription insert. They cost about £60 with the prescription lense. However once you have the prescription insert they can be taken out and moved to a new set of goggles easily and the safety part only costs about £15 ish. So easy to swap them out if the lenses get scratched or if you want to swap to a tinted pair on a sunny day. Most of the time I use contact lenses, but I still like the Bolle Tracker II even without the prescription insert as they resist fogging really well.

Fatboy40 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I've been using these... https://www.specs4sports.co.uk/evader-2-over-glasses-goggles--camo-frame-2117-p.asp ... and they fit with room to spare over my rectangular framed glasses and are vented so no fog (however the foam against your face isn't that robust and gets compressed quite easily).

I have a bog standard 58 size head and there is a ton of room around my head inside. the padding and straps work well and it doesn't flop around. In fact you forget its on most off the time Only drawback is you will need to add a 1" riser to your sight as the check weld is moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
