Yup, they're blowing out all there stuff. I spoke to one of the guys working there and they were considering moving to the Burnaby area.

IF military-focused eyewear manufacturers (ESS, Wiley-X, Revision, etc.) have sealed, full eye coverage products that are good enough to withstand the dust, dirt, shrapnel-filled battlefield, why aren't they necessarily good enough for airsoft in lieu of "paintball-approved" ones that merely have had their face shields detached? Strikes me as weird since I would think the ballistic protection of the pro-grade eyewear is far superior to that of mere paintball approved eyewear.


'Fly
We play at Panther (mostly) and since their insurance only covers paintball approved goggles (since it is primarily a paintball field) we have to conform to the rules. Op-for does play at non-paintball fields as well and in those cases we allow ballistic goggles.
