Eyewear question

[kris]

I understand that Airsofters in the WW2AA have to wear eye ware protection when out in the field. I found this safety glasses and I wanted to know if they fit the requirements for the field.

I got these are they work well.

Too bad they don't come in regular clear lenses though. They are not completely full seal.

I also got these which are full seal. They fog up bad though, don't buy them.

I have also used different types of shooting glasses which work fine. Try to find a pair that fit reasonably close to your face and you'll probably be good.

Hey G Man do those 2nd Pair fog at all? It seems to be a common problem among full seal goggles.

I've been buying from online from Gempler's

They have a wide range of safety glasses and goggles, including Z87.1 rated and full seal. Being an industrial supply place rather than an Airsoft store their prices are pretty good.

Since I wear glasses I have big problems with fogging. I've had good luck with this style:

They don't have a full seal, but they wrap around so far I don't see how a BB could get in.

We have to use full seal for national events and our solution is either the ESS turbo fans which are great at preventing fogging but are rather expensive or use a product called Cat crap. Its a small red container that has a gel that you wipe on your goggles, let dry, then wipe off. With that stuff on I have never had a problem fogging and its only 6-10 for a container of it.

I'll have to try that Rapture.

My opinion is not simply buying one...

I'll buy mountain troops gogggles, I'll change the lens to some mesh, or polycarbonat material... MT-drivers one can be modded similarly...

On games usally I wear full mask, but at last 10 hour long event it was terribly unconfortable... I'll have an alternative eye protection while keeping guard.

I sometimes wear a full mask as well(JT Whippersnappers) doesn't look historical but I have seen too many teeth busted up and the damn mouthguards just never fit right for me. I sometimes also break down and just wear SWD goggles(With the balistic lens). Tecnically not correct till late in the war and only if I own a tank but...These are the things that fit over my glasses though. The clear shooting glasses look good, but I don't trust them and they don't really fit over my regular glasses. The ESS gogs look as goofy as the paintball mask in a WW2 game so I saved some money and bought the whippers with an antifog lens. It works for me your milage may vary.

That's an other reason to select gebirgsjager impression... You can wear cheapo swiss mountain googles without driving any tanks
