Bolle Tracker Goggles

VonLuck

I was wondering if anyone has used these or what their opinion is on them?

Saw them on MIA http://www.mainirishairsoft.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=653

I also say them on http://www.arcosafety.ie/products/3B6000/293412/Bolle%20Tracker%20II%20Spectacles but they are much cheaper. Are they a different type or maybe just the lenses?

Does the colour of the lens have much of an effect? I was going to go with the clear lens but I see a lot of airsofters with yellow tinted goggles. Any reason?

Super price on that safety site.

i wear them skirmishing, but they still fog up on me when using fogtech wipes. the strap makes them feel more secure, but makes them fog more.

you can remove the grey padded section off them helps the foggin issue by giving a lil more air room without being to open so they still fit securly tested it last week in predator improved on what i was experenceing

The link to those cheaper goggles is actually: http://www.arcosafety.ie/products/3B6000/293412/Bolle%20Tracker%20II%20Spectacles

For some reason the first link was just to the main site

I think it works out as about €12 with free delivery.

Just worried that something that cheap won't give sufficient protection or am I being over cautious?

i got thes from mia and chris there informed me he shot them point blank with a 5j gun and they stud up to that

Puding

both exactly the same product so protection is the same, and from what i read acro seem to be an on the level shop, price difference is of course down to a number of factors

I've heard that 'Cat Crap' anti fog is effective, so maybe that's a solution to the fogging? Don't want them to fog up mid skirmish as you cant take them off to defog unless you're in a safe zone.

He told you he conducted a test on goggles with an airsoft device firing with a muzzle energy of 5 Joules?

could have miss heard he could have said they were tested for that wasnt paying to much attention to the wording was to busy looking at stuff to buy lol

mafiaboy

No No you heard him right we did test a set of my old bolle goggles and yes it was @ 5j BUT and this is A BIG BUT, it was done over in sweden @ BERGET 2010 with one of the lads over there using his sniper gun and it did stop the bb getting true but it left marks on them but withheld 8 shots and only let one true cos 3 of them where in the same place hope that clears that up :D:D

Gatling

either way discussions of airsoft's over 1 joule is not allowed under the charter

andy_g

Speaking of airsoft over 1J not allowed here bring it else where. And lack of back seat modding please just report the post.

VonLuck

Well I ordered the goggles so hopefully I get them before the end of this week. Great value - less than €13. Just need to get some face protection now.

Do shemaghs/scarfs provide much protection? I also see people wearing kind of medical style face masks that just cover your nose and mouth. Any idea where I can get those or are they worthwhile?

ste.rst

quality airsoft do a lower mesh face mask,

They don't; to be sure, you want something hard.

Were the Bolle's that you got good?:D

Any word on these, where they any use and how fast was delivery ?

VonLuck

Delivery was quite fast if I recall correctly. I haven't had the opportunity to use them in a skirmish but they are very comfortable and great value for money. Comes with a detachable elastic strap which is very useful. Kind of a rubber around the inside of the frame so it touches your face and it is very unlikely for a pellet to enter. Comfortable too!
