Agree 100% with TheDoc.

A couple of recommendations on boards and a few excellent reviews elsewhere convinced me. I ordered the Bull Dogg stamped steel goggles and they arrived within a week. The goggles are superb. Comfortable, solid and lightweight. The low profile gives excellent forward and peripheral vision and they won't fog up!
With shipping the total was around the 45 Euro mark. Maybe not the cheapest option but they are well worth the money.

I'm after the (genuine) Desert Locust goggles myself, just have to get the inserts and lenses put in, just have to figure in cost

about 30 for the insert and I don't have a clue what the lenses will be, but I'm guessing about 80 quid.

But whatever it is, it's worth it. Only one set of eyes and all that.

Sorry to maybe drag this slightly off-topic, but I bought the very same last summer (also in Maplins) for the very same reason - I intend to do this for a pair of Guarder C4s. How is the mesh to cut, is getting a desired shape feasible with cutting that mesh?

This is almost a business opportunity here in Ireland, by the sound of it...

Thanks, good to know! I can't use a dremel myself, because then I'll become the butt of my own (tedious, well-worn, no longer very amusing) joke regarding dremels on this very forum. It would be far to long-winded and off-topic to go into here, but needless to say that someone reading this is chuckling to himself about justice being served...

I hope to make time to try the speaker grille mod myself, and we can discuss it on another thread for the benefit of anyone else who is willing to try it.

Guy's what about bb's shattering on impact and fragments passing through the mesh? Has this happened to anyone using these goggles? They seem excellent and exactly what a mate of mine is looking for but I'm a bit wary of the mesh.

thermo

playin for 2 years now never had this problem with mesh!

While playing in drogheda a while ago I got face full of bb's full auto from about 4 feet away with no problems but I'm not sure if they were bio bb's or not. The lenses were bitter end

Guys, I think what I am looking for doesn't exist unfortunately, but any ideas will help.

Basically, I need full face protection, that's close enough to the face to see down the sights of my weapons easily (ie. without hitting off the mask/without the butt of the gun causing me to have to hold in a wierd way)

It also needs to be as much anti-fog as possible (I know there are no products that do this perfectly) Another issue, I wear glasses. :pac:

I bought these

& a neoprene mask. The goggles are fine, but the neoprene isn't even a little bit suitable for cqb (warehouse) :eek:

Anyone have experience who wears glasses, who can avoid fog as much as possible, who has full face protection AND the mask is close enough to the face to allow sniping/looking through iron sights with ease? I assume mesh is great for stopping fog, but I'd imagine it obscures your vision?

It's alot to ask for I know

with the mesh goggles you eyes kinda focus's beyond the mesh so after 10 mins you barley know your wearing mesh!

GrumPy

Suitable for someone wearing glasses though? and in the warehouse mainly.

thermo

dunno i dont wear glasses! :cool:

Grumpy my goggles are ESS with an RX insert.They are like the frame off glasses but without the ear bits & they slot straight into the goggles which have a bitter end lens which is metal mesh.They don't fog up & I've tried everything else. I just wear a shemagh for face protection. Oh forgot to say the optician will put your prescription lenses into the rx insert.Cheapest quote was from specsavers

If you could fit them under a Sensei then you'd be grand. Sensei's fit to the cheek so they only add a few mm.

GrumPy

Thanks guys. yeah, seen those sensei's on airsofteire alright...

What kinda price we talking for these RX insert buzz?
