I've made mesh inserts for a few years now with zero incidents. I use stainless steel mesh. A grade that yeilds the best visibility while being strong enough. This grade has been tested point blank full auto 420ish fps. Yes, mesh deforms at that point , but is easily fixed by hand. The mesh has enough give to absorb the bb's impact and not fracture them. Steel stores have this stuff in stock, I just cut a copy of the original lens, tabs and all and fit into goggle frame. I still have bolles and PB goggles for when field restrictions apply. The bolles work good, better with rainex (have yet to fog the lens with the stuff,yet) and the thermal PB goggles are equally fog free. Lots of choices.
