Scott paintball goggles

Looking up and down the internet for a place that carries them in Canada, no luck so far. Does anyone have any idea where to get them without ordering from the US?

They're the lowest profile PB goggles I've come across so far. Technically smaller viewing lens surface than the JT Spectre, but I can see through the Scott better since it's much smaller.

Been looking for the same thing for a long time now. Seems that they are discontinued. I did see them on Ebay once but were really expensive. If you hear of any please let me know too.

Update: Called the company, apparently there are no Canadian businesses carrying Scott's paintball goggles. You also can't order them through Canadian businesses carrying non-paintball Scott products. Finally, Scott goggles are very back ordered, so getting a Canadian business to carry it is unlikely in the near future.

Looks like it's ordering from the US or bust.

Nope. If only it were that easy.

In the end, ordered them from Ebaybanned (I know) because they offered free, non-UPS shipping.

EB only had the black model, with a rather flashy head band. I can live with the colours, since Scott is still the lowest profile and most comfortable PB goggles I've come across.

Total came to $38.42, arrived without problem after 2 weeks. No tariff or GST were added.

End transmission.

Try Professional Paintball in Rochester they were a distributor for Scott. You are correct the Scott Paintball line was discontinued 2-3yrs ago.
Colour the headband with a Sharpy marker, I used to black out the company logo's this way.
Scott goggle don't have a thermal lens thats why they are half the price of the JT Spectra goggles, I owned a pair of Scott goggles and switched to thermal JT's because the Scott s fog and the Thermal JT s don't. Thats why Scott doesn't make paintball goggles anymore. Pro Paintball in Rochester may still have replacement lens.

If you'll read my earlier post again, you'll note that I actually called Scott and they do indeed still make paintball goggles.

Anyways, I've never had fogging problems with any goggles, so JT Thermal is financially unnecessary for me.

I would consider checking if the lenses in the ones you got from EB are genuine, I think they stock repro which will probably hold up to airsoft, but on a shared field with paintball players could be a concern.

Have you considered Dye's I4s? Expensive but ultra low profile.

As far I can tell, it's just straight up a pair of genuine Scott. I'll give them a shot later and check, just to be sure.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
