Eye protection

Hi airsofters,

The topic I'm about to discuss with you is pretty basic but allot of people don't think about it, or just consider it to not look good, etc. Today's topic is eye protection, now eye protection is mandatory mostly everywhere but some people don't wear it or don't know what type to get. So for allot of you the main priority is gun, uniform then eye protection. Safety always comes first no matter what, below I'm going to be talking about what three of the big types are and how much it should cost for each type. 

These are the most basic type of eye wear available and they may be okay for things like at the shooting range or in a controlled environment. But out in the field nothing is controlled and there are ricochets coming in all directions. They aren't full seal meaning there is a gap behind them where a BB could get in and damage your eye. So to recap Shooting Range, NOT FOR FIELD USE. These glasses are going to run you about $5 at your local hardware store, I got my pair at Rona.

These are full seal goggles and they are AMAZING, before we get started no, I am NOT getting paid to review these or say they are awesome. This is my personal opinion. So with that said and done, Locus goggles are expensive but very well worth it. They are made specifically for military standards, they are mostly bullet proof so that's why they cost so much. They are comfortable, and with a small fan that is whisper quiet they keep out virtually all the fog. Trust me I forgot they were on after like 10 minutes of wearing them. Now the quietest pair I could find are $99 US, at www.revisionmilitary.com. They come with Goggles, a case, a cloth to wipe them and one set of lenses.

The third type is Mesh goggles, these are $15 at Evike.com and they're okay. But based on what I've seen if you get shot in the eye then there is a real risk of the BB breaking up on contact, going through the mesh, leaving fragments in your eye. Other than that they are good because there will be no fog when you play with these and you can see through the mesh pretty well. But for me there's always that risk of that one BB that could have that scenario.

So there are my opinions on the 3 types of goggles, I hoped that helped you on what future choices you plan on making. If you have any more questions why don't you head over to my website www.airsoftadvise.webs.com and contact me and I'd be happy to help you.
