Dangerous eye protection

[Tommikka]

Another set of non compliant goggles / eye protection identified by site staff

I know that I’m preaching to the converted, but keep your eyes out for new players with their ‘nice cheap’ Temu/AliExpress/eBay goggles

 

Observant site staff noted these ones

My local has caught a few "amazon specials" before they could be used thankfully.

 

I carry spares aswell just in case someones is unfit for purpose and they need some

Yet every field I go to is quite happy to allow standard shooting glasses/non full seal safety glasses that are rated yet provide a clear line of sight to the wearers eyeballs from multiple oblique angles.....

Which annoys me too

 

There’s no official standard for airsoft face protection other than impact, whereas the paintball goggle standard goes into the various components / parts of the facemask including up/down via vents etc

This is why I write "EN166B" on my home-made eye-pro, to ensure that it meets all safety standards.

What a brilliant idea!  It is almost Trumpian in its genius.

You have to be 18 to wear glasses. You signed your life (eye balls) away when you arrive if you choose to wear non full face in the designated game area. Being an adult you get to choose if you want to risk it for a biscuit. If by wearing glasses you put someone else's safety at risk it would be a different story but am very much "if what you do is not hurting anyone else and it makes you happy, crack on". 

 

What Tommikka posted is disgusting. Selling something marked as PPE when its in fact not is criminal.
