Well I don't play indoors.. I play on a big field and the only time I have startled a sniper has been when I walk behind him and step on him >< but I can see your point.

And yes I have seen those mesh goggles for chainsaw workers etc... its because fogging is such a big issue when they are in the forests working all day.

But again... we have done the whole point blank full auto test to some of these goggles and no problems and so I am sticking with them for my outdoor games, especially with the players I play with.

most of the players in the calgary area use ESS ICEs. JOC has no issues with paint ball fields recuiring us wear a paint ball mask, we mainly play on paintball fields and our googles/glasses are fine. However JOC will not permit mesh goggles to be worn, there are a lot of times in our indoor arena when bbs shatter and we have a 320FPS maximum

Mesh goggles/face protection issued to forest workes sucks big time, I have been in forestry for 7-8 years now and snall debree from the timber will penetrate while you are working with a chainsaw. So I now also use a pair of Uvex glasses as additional protection.

The mesh goggles in airsoft are on the other hand not as bad as people claim. I have tried to get a BB to go through this goggle:

I have been shooting it with a Tanaka M700 putting out 4J at E0 or 200mps with a .2g BB. I have hit the same point time and time again I have nevet managed to penetrate the mesh. HOEWEVER, and here is the point to why not to wear mesh goggles in the field. The BB will penetrate through the ventilation holes in the side, in the connection between the mesh and the goggle, in the connection between the goggle and the face shield. It only takes one BB hit near the edge of the mesh to couse the mesh to be tawn out of the goggle, leaving a gab for the next BB.

So in conclusion, they are worse than people claim.

Personally I use eigher a pair of Bollé T800 or a pair of Uvex i-vo. I tried the Waily-X SG-1 but they fog up just as fast as I put them on, so they are useless.
