ASTM F803 Eye Protection Rating
 

I couldn't find anything on the site about it, but is anyone aware of whether or not ASTM F803 rating for eye protection is adequate for airsoft use?

Thanks!

ASTM F803
This specification covers eye protectors, designed for use by players of racket sports, women's lacrosse, field hockey, basketball, baseball, and soccer that minimize or significantly reduce injury to the eye and adnexa due to impact and penetration by racket-sport rackets and balls, women's lacrosse and field hockey sticks and balls, baseballs, soccer balls, hands, elbows, and fingers. Protective eyewear offers protection only to the eyes and does not protect other parts of the head.

ummm no, ballistic rated or paintball goggles and dont gp prdering some china made knockoffs they say they are rated but are not
youll want ANSI Z87 like ess goggles or any reputable paintball company like JT
dont use the jt "airsoft" goggles or the crossman crap either

just to stress the importance of proper eye pro, there are thousands of stories like this from folks tryin to save a few bucks
three things to never cheap out on, Boots, Eye Pro and Asswipe
id suggest findin your local surplus store and grabbin some ess goggles on the cheap or just buy a new pair they round 100 bucks and come with clear and tinted lense

I actually currently use a pair of ESS', I just happened to spot a different pair of glasses, rather than goggles that I liked tonight.
Thanks for the info!

I bought 5 different goggles before I finally got my revision w/ fan, wasted so much on goggles that I now don't use or don't fit me correctly. Be me or be what I should of done :)

Not wanting to make a new thread for an eye gear question. Recently found some ESS surplus goggles. Are these the standard? Their pretty cheap and fit nicely and are combat grade.

Lotta folks use ess i do. Used seccond hand ones (30-40 bucks) for a long time just bought my first new pair the other day. If they are comfy for you have at er.

+1 For ESS, Ebay, $50, this is one purchase i don't regret.

If your the type of person who buys budget eye protection have I got a deal for you!

**NEAR NEW** Mil-spec Parachute!
-Never opened
-Only jumped once
*Some red staining*

PM me for details!

Not going to lie, I laughed, peed a little, and laughed again. lol

Oh and +1 on ESS. :D

Yeah that was prety funny tho id be carefull When buyin ebay ess's. People will clone anything and lotta stuff will be properly packaged and labled with proper ratings but will have never been tested as such.
Here is a perfect example of that

So just be sure when buyin online its from a reputable source.
Army issue surplus has a bunch of used ess for 30 or 40 bucks new ones are 109.99 from most dealers like r nickols and are listed at 100 even on the ess website. Well worth every penny for what you get as they come with both lenses a pouch a protector for the extra lense and for the goggles them self.

The pair I found and really like are ESS surplus ones from Army Issue in port credit. Amazing and friendly man the runs the place and great deal on every thing. Picking up ESS goggles and combat boots from there on friday.

No pants?

I've been talking to him about the PANTS! But no :( no pants. He's been helpful on where I can find pants that would fit me 38-40. But no pants yet. Have everything priced out on what to buy and when but no outfit yet because I can't find any one that sells my sizes (38-40 pants, 3xl shirts/jackets).
