Show your Eye-Pro

[MilanWG]

I am always interested to see what eye protection people use and recommend.

Here is my current collection:



from left to right:

- JT Spectra Flex 8 Thermal Mask - Woodland
- Smith Optics Elite Outside the Wire Goggle - TAN
- Bolle T-800 Goggles
- Revision Exoshield Goggles
- Oakley M Frame Glasses w/ Sweep Lens
- ESS CDI Glasses

[Boyso]

What's your opinion on the CDI? Received a pair of CDI Max today but haven't had the chance to game them yet. Any fog?

Other than that, I use ESS Ice for outdoors, and ESS Landops for indoors.

No pics really...they're all available on-line

JT Spectra Flex 7 (I think...I can't tell the diff between the 7's and 8's)...thermal lense
- PB approved
- gross from sweat funk
- wired with extra fans

Bolle T800's
- great with fogtec
- not so keen on the lense retention/gap

Oakley Half Jackets
- comfy

Misc Shooting glasses by remington and browning

On the way for eval
Bolle Axis glasses - fit well on asian face and temples ratchet for different lense angles
Smith Boogie Goggles - hoping the vents provide more air circulation than the exoshields

I get a bit of fog with my cdi maxes. If you apply fog tech it helps a ton.

The ESS CDI Glasses are my favorite.

They are comfortable during long periods of use (talking 24hr +) and fog the least of all the eye-pro pictured above.

The CDI Max are larger, so they may be prone to fogging slightly more than the normal CDI's - but I would highly recommend them.

They are also my favorite because they intergrate with night-vision extremely well - allowing me to put my PVS14 as close to my eye as possible while still being protected.

I also have a pair of Smith Boogie Goggles on the way - they look really interesting with the ability to "vent" and let air circulate into the eye-pro (hopefully solving the Revision Exoshield condensation issues).

edit: I have to say, I am quite disappointed with my Smith Optics OTW Goggles and how they integrate with my NODs.
My PVS14 monocle is forced to sit so far out that I can barley see a circle in my night vision eye

[Crunchmeister]

For when full-seal goggles are required: ESS Land Ops. I've added fans to the goggles to help with fogging.



When glasses are allowed, Oakley Split Jacket

No pictures since they are all bone stock (not even sure how I would modify them).


ESS Crossbow (Clear and dark lenses)
-Nothing bad to say about them, my go-to glasses for night games and 24 hour games.

Revision Desert Locust (Clear and dark lenses)
-Usually just sit atop my helmet, I hate goggles.

Revision Hellfly
-My "look cool" sunglasses for airsoft, for CAG/Human Terrain/Random Int stuff. Only on sunny days though and never at night.

JT Spectras, not really sure why I have these, I never play at Painball goggle only fields, even with the mask off they have a big footprint, hate em.

And like apparently everyone else, Smith Boogie lowpros on the way (Will be my go-to full seal). I just like the look and am deathly afraid of condensation with the Exoshields.

Sounds good, thanks a lot!

Running dye I4's, they are paintball goggles but they sit tight to the face and aren't as bulky as most of the other paintball masks. Full face protection that will take bb hits no problem, and I have absolutely no issue aiming with my 97b or m14.

I am really interested in getting some shooting glasses style eye pro with the glasses insert, but am worried that they will fog heavily or won't be secure enough for me.

I just ordered the "Ignitor" frames from one shot tactical. Looking forward to getting them. Hopefully they solved the condensation problems or the Revision EXOshields. I love those goggles, except for the condensation.

I've been absolutely loving the ESS V12 Advancers in the colder weather. Been wearing them to every game since fall, basically since the temperatures dropped.

I noticed a HUGE difference in fogging/condensation performance when I switched to applying Fogtech with a very high quality microfiber cloth that came with my wife's fancy-pants high-fashion glasses.

Back in july/august, they would always condense up to the point where I had to switch to my JT Thermals (these should be in everyone's standby eye-pro collection). But they're excellent in anything ~15-18C and below.

edit: for the mask you see here I use a standard metal mesh face mask that I've painted "multicam"

I'm currently using Empire Avatars with thermal lenses, but I'm looking at a pair of Oakley Radars (Range lenses). Has anybody used them, and does anybody know if the Oakley RX carrier will work with them?
