Erm, i wouldn't trust it to be honest, if it says ski anywhere (which it has all over it) then no....stick to Jt/Brass Eagle etc...unless you want to go for some ballistic rated ones (make sure you can wear them where you are playing).

Just buy paintball goggles. That way you know the're paintball approved. Don't buy goggles from overseas either. The standards for airsoft eye protection is a lot different than they are here. If you're looking for goggles just pick up some paintball ones at canadian tire or walmart.

Alright cool guys thx for the info
i just didnt want a paint ball face mask lol
not all paintball goggles are face masks right?

Grim Fandango February 15th, 2007 01:32

Some goggles can be removed from the mask. That's what I did, bought a JT mask and just removed the goggles off the mask.

$50 can get you a set of ESS Land Ops goggles shipped to you.


That's what I did anyway...

You can remove the mask if it's built that way. You can cut/trim it off if it's not detachable.
As long as your eyes are perfectly protected, you are fine. Check the field rules where you will play first.

Great if you are playing somewhere that allows that type of eye protection, but if your venue demands paintball goggles then you have to go that route.

thx again guys
i ordered a ESS on ebay as Lerch suggested 40ish CAD
and i wonder why dace's surplus in Vancouver sells it for 89.99...

8thArmy hope you don't need paintball approved goggles because as Pip said ESS aren't.

MrEvolution February 15th, 2007 17:10

well mr Dave has to purchase said goggles, take into account cost of shipping and stuff, and add his markup so he makes a profit off it.
