Dont get hit in the face.. if you want to protect your dental work you shoudl consider a full face mask, a mouth piece is a minimum.

There are neoprene masks that are available as well. that can be placed under/over goggles.

I do not recommend Mesh face eye protection. The reason is the glare from lighting sources and more importantly...

Bio degradable BB's. There can be spalding issues with these guys when the strike the mesh. I've been shooting Bio BB in basement/yard and once in a while i'll have one shatter on impact. Avoid the Hassle and buy solid plastic.

BTW this means that you should'nt play with the BioBB unless your game permits them.

"ESS eyewear features high-impact polycarbonate lenses, which can stop a shotgun blast from 35 feet."

I'm not really interested in full face protection, and I hate to say this.. but money is playing a part. However, I am by no means willing to cut quality to save money.

if you need something affordable, just go with what i said and get the JT goggles and order the double fans. $60 is definetly not to expensive.

Amazing, so the portion of my head under the goggles will be fine, while the rest of my skull and brain matter will be splattered on the ground. ESS can make some decent goggles, Ive never used them and I know nothing about them. Ive played with JT PB goggles and Bolle T 800s. They both work well for their costs. When I purchased my JTs the clerk swapped out the interior lense of my goggles with some form of anti fogging lense. I know nothing about it but I know it cost me a few extra dollars to have it.

I use ESS ice... They work just fine.

I got two of the ESS® SPECIAL FORCES GOGGLE for less than 50 bucks with shipping included from this guy on ebay : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Strik...spagenameZWDVW

They are pretty good and can fit over prescription glasses as well

[Danke]

My ESS came from Gruntgear too.

Slightly off topic, but do you know anywhere good that sells replacement lenses for the Bolle t-800?
(Not ehobby, those don't fit).

Thanks, I was going to start some research.

Redwolf has them too, but they are currently out of stock. They also sell Guarder lens made to fit on Bollé t800, but I don't know if they are safe.

Bolle vs ESS ?

I find ESS Land Ops more comfortable to wear because of the foam (it's unfortunately kinda cheap and easy to rip off). IMHO, Bollé t800's rubber face seal isn't very comfortable.

Bollé are more practical since the lens is closer to your face, which makes it easier to use scopes. ESS are kinda big, but they fit over most glasses.

ESS Land Ops also come with both a clear and a smoke grey lens, while Bollé t800 only come with a clear lens.

They both become foggy even if they claim to have an anti-fog treatment on their lens.

If you wear glasses I would go with the ESS NVG Profiler with the turbofans. They really work well when others fog up. With the RX insert or glasses under goggles they always seem to fog up even if the mask itself does not. The ESS turbofan takes care of this and they are very safe which is the most important thing.
