Goggle & Glasses Compatability

[Dusti69]

ebay has military issue ess goggles for 12.50. one of my biggest things is that i want a pair of goggles that arent gonna be the same as everyone elses. i just have this need to not look like everyone else. like how everyone has noveske flash hiders on their guns

[bodydropper]

think about it, your eyes are important! you wont be able to buy a pair of eyes for 20 bucks! spend whatever you have to spend to protect your eyes!

Here's a little story. Just for shits and giggles I bought this sweet set of "safety glasses" from a hardware store because they looked different. They stated they were tested by firing a .60 caliber steel ball bearing at them at 200fps! I figured they MUST be safe! I took 5 shots at them with my rifle and the first 4 were fine, the fifth shot went straight through.

Ahahaha, this makes me happy that I'm not going with hardware safety glasses...

On the same note however, I'm still looking for a pair of goggles that are around 50-100$ and fit over glasses as well. I bought a pair of 30$ glasses-styles ones that slide off if I move my head too quickly. Any thoughts? I was looking at some Wiley goggles but wasn't quite sure if they were what I was looking for.

PS: Sorry for hijacking thread.

If you're talking about the LandOps Striker goggles, I just found a link to them and am thinking rather seriously about purchasing them.

bolle' x800's here $100 and my eyes couldn't be happier god knows how many times i have been shot in the goggles

[DarkAngel]

ive taken point blank gas shotgun shots to the head... i make sure everything over my eyes can take RS Shotgun shots b4 i wear it...

[Dusti69]

man i like those x800's so much, but they just arent gonna fit over my glasses
bums me out

i thought about getting some cheap dirtbike goggles for the frames and then going to one of the motocross track and trail type stores around here to talk to a sales person about getting a stronger lense for in it. but ill probly just buy something thatll work just the way it is

I already told you what to do. Bolle makes an RX insert set up for the x800s.

So your options are to

A.Get contacts and buy the x800s
B.Buy the bolle x800s and get the bolle RX insert and new lenses to match.
C. Go ahead and do your little thing and attempt to be unqiue just like everyone else and buy whatever you want.
D. Drop the cash and buy a reputable brand of paintball goggles that have been listed as approved to be worn with glasses.

i only said that cuz that is whats available in person/in store around here. if there were paintball or airsoft stores around here then why would i go to a motocross store?

ya know even though you guys are being dicks i still appreciate the input. but i guess you guys dont have to reply anymore. i have to put a set of goggles on hold because of a few things that came up so i probly wont be getting around to buying a pair til next spring or summer when the weather is nice again. .....maybe ill have a bit more money then

[Gigaknight]

I have ESS Profiles and it fits very nicely though my glasses ARE a bit wider than most, either way, they still work; I might get contacts or lasik soon though. :P

oh man that laser eye surgery haha... i was just thinking about that the other day while i was at a mountain park. the idea of lasers or whatever they use going into my eye creeps me out........ not to mention that its probly hundreds and hundreds of dollars and from what i heard eventually wears off

Yeah, it'll cost me about $1000+ for both eyes and it does "wear" off after a while... it's not the laser that should freak you out, but the fact that they cut a flap on your lens and then use the laser, muahahaha.

Luckily for me I'm not getting a flap cut into my lens!
