If your opinion was already made, why ask the question? Not to be rude, but military, ANSI rated googles will beat the crap out of mesh masks, hands down.
Out of curiosity, what were the lenses that failed you? |

Wear what you want, but if you go blind don't come running to us.
If you're worried about fog, get a set of ESS Profile Turbofans with a thermal lense. They will not fog on you. They're expensive, but a better set of eye protection you will not find. I've seen lots of folks use shooting glasses style eye protection and while it's much less obtrusive and has a high look cool factor I can't figure out why anyone would want to wear it with the lack of side protection it gives. Doesn't stop me from opening up on a guy if I only see the side of their head. I'm already down to one eye, so I protect it at all costs. Yours, I could care less about. If you're dumb enough to not wear something that seals around your eyes, well, I fail to see where that becomes my problem.

You know there are many paintball rated masks (allowed everywhere) that easily fit over glasses, right?

4 years of paintball and Ive never found one that dosnt shove my glasses into my brain.
Plus I figure a pair of the ESS goggles plus a couple pairs of daily disposable contacts are cheaper then the 400 dollars for prescription inserts

It seems better and cheeper just to buy a pair of the ESS ICE-2X and wear contacts with them. The contacts only cost like 30-40 and the goggles are only 67.
Unless Ive understood the ESS site wrong and the lenses (with corrections to them) and insert together are only the $30.00. Cause if thats the case Im just REALLY tired and didnt understand lol and now feel like an idiot  .

I was looking on ebay last night and ordered these. If you search these up on the forum i think there is a review from other people who got these. Cost about $30 with shipping included: http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-Arena-Vyken-F...QQcmdZViewItem

I honesly think I like the ESS Ice series better. All I wear when Im in game is goggles, my spec ops head wrap, my black pants and t shirt and mouth guard (so I dont get another tooth shot out lol.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that if you have a broader face or a flatter nose (as many asians do) then many ballistic goggles may leave a gap at the bridge of the nose.
Thus far, I've found that Bolle T-800s leave the smallest gap. Revision Bullet Ants leave a moderate gap, while Wiley-X Spears leave a fairly large one. ESS has recently released their Asian-Fit line that includes the Profile and the Stalker (no Turbofan models yet, and replacement lenses won't be available to be ordered online until at least next month). For those who find this gap a concern, paintball goggles may be the only other alternative. |

Lol thats what I think ill do. That way I can get rid of the stupid line my glasses have around the rims that wonderful bluddy bit lol. Some cheap daily contacts and a pair of the ESS ICE should work perfectly.

Ok out here (Calgary) I have played with mesh goggles and yeah after you get one hit with them you preaty much throw them aside... also out here if our Admins think that the glasses/googles you are wearing won't with stand a BB they will test it. I know I have had rounds to the face at about 10 feet and I thank god that I was wearing my bilistic rated goggles intsted of my mesh.... I know my eyes are worth more than any AEG out there....... \
Our indoor limits are 320fps and I have seen a round go through a mesh before........ so... yeah don't wear mesh and that's coming from experence.... |
