Bolle T-800 Lens source in Canada !!

[KND]

Hi there,

I have been using the Bolle T-800 for almost more than 1 year now and has seen a lots of action from winter to summer and summer again so now it's time to replace the lens, so my question where is exactly that I can source the replacement lens in Canada like Grey, Lemon or smoke clear. Since most of the store are in US and shipping from them is ridiculous like 20 US for just a lens. So now time to support our store in Canada. Any link would be help a lots. Thanks in advance.

Cheers !
KND

R. Nicholls on Jean-Talon can order one for you. I bought mine there last year, 30$, local pickup.

OH, I've been looking for one too!!
Any chance you could pick one up for me too and ship it?!

Kinda sketchy - just buy the real ones IMO.

How about Bollé website?

+1

And the real ones have an anti-fogging/anti scratch coating. Replica don't.

I bought mine from ehobbyasia, they are fast no bullshit and less than half the price of the real ones. I have used them with absolutely no problems, and they are far from "sketchy". In fact I routinely receive items from them must faster than MOST Canadian airsoft retailers...I just hate to give Nichols money as well. As far a fogging goes, I have had my Bolles for about 7 years now, and the replacment aftermarket lenses fare no less on fogging than do the regular lenses I was buying before I stumbled on the aftermarket ones. Bolles need to be sprayed daily with no fog anyhow. In my 25 years shooting, the best anti fog I have ever used was Fogtech...expensive but WELL worth it, and works great even when humping a pack on a hot humid day for hours.

What does any of this prove? Stop rambling on about customer service and anti fog spray. The fact of the matter is you're suggesting a cheap alternative for THE MOST important piece of equipment any airsofter will buy.

[Oberst]

Yes I am. Safety Goggles that are available for mere dollars at Builders supply etc, have a much greater ANSI rating than most Combat/Tactical eyewear. I have had 2 pairs of 200 dollar Wileys broken on my face, and I have NEVER had an issue in HARD PLAYING with my lenses. Try not being rude calling someone "rambling" when they are trying to help someone be safe and save money, such comments make you look rather uninformed.

Wow dude! You need to relax. Oberst was just speaking from experience and as far as I can see, being helpful.
There is a right way and a wrong way to speak to people, even if you do not agree with their opinions.
You are right that glasses are THE MOST important piece of equipment....WE ALL know that. Oberst would never suggest a product to anyone knowing it would fail and have the potential to leave the buyer with an injury.

EDIT:
Okay seriously though. The example of your failing Wileys is just that - an example. I've never heard of tactical
eyewear breaking under airsoft use. If wiley are so unreliable they should be banned from the fields.

Even -if- some construction glasses come with better ratings, there are other things one must worry about.
Seal around the face is one of those things.

But I digress. Maybe the guarder lenses are just as good for airsoft. I still think they should come with a warning if
they are to be suggested.

[swatt13]

so anyways back on topic, is there a canadian retailer that has em in stock?

[Blackthorne]

Holy crap guys. Google it

R.Nichols usually has them in. There are retail stores across Canada in major centers.
M.D. Charlton is the same. Both of their websites have location and contact info.

If they don't have them in they can usually get them in a couple of days.

It happens all the time. I've had a pair of Wiley's and a pair of Bolle's cracked in green games by branches. Saved my eyes, smoked my glasses.
