Used goggles?

Is it okay to buy used goggles?

Don't have enough money to spend on something $30+.

Unless you are 100% certain that those are real and not clones, and that they have not been compromised, I would not risk it.

If you can't invest ~$50 to protect one of your most valuable senses you might be in the wrong hobby : /

Well there are many cheap goggles that can work that can be a lot cheaper, just seeing whether those would be legit or not.

Otherwise I might just get these:

Do you realize what sport/hobby you're involved with?

You can get decent goggles (not tactical, but they are not china made clones) at your local industrial supply store. Make sure they are ANSI 87+ certified and that the lenses are marked as such. I doubt that those ones from AirsoftGI are certifed. No where on the page does it state that they are impact certified.

Though, for one I would highly recommend getting better eye protection, you only have one pair of eyes, they cannot be fixed or replaced. How much is having the ability to see for the rest of your life worth to you?

Seriously dude, buy them. You will NEVER have to buy another pair again, and you will never fog using these. Not to mention, they will take a 12 gauge buckshot from 16 feet.

Don't fuck around when it comes to eye pro. Like Canadian Psycho said, you only have one pair of eyes. Many can also attest that foggy lenses can ruin your whole day of play. Invest in the ones I linked about or a GOOD pair of ESS goggles (not the Chinglish repros, the real deal). Smith Optics are the best though for full seal anti-fog protection, bar none.
