as for seeing down sights with them on, anything lower then a standard M4a1 sight, I can't see down with them on...

Does the the ESS clones have impact resistant lenses?

Good info! Going to check with Armyissue about ordering one.

I'm also in the need of goggles for games, but not confident if these will fit my rather large glasses. (don't have smaller ones) I see a few that people are suggesting, but anyone know which stores I can try some of these on in Markham/Toronto area? Like paintball/airsoft gear? Or do you know if these goggles will fit any size glasses? Even if they're like fat, flat and square haha

Hero Army Surplus in Oshawa carries them. Not at a low price mind you, but the real deal goggles.

Revision with there Rx insert I've seen on field. Revision don't fog easily and come with anti-fog. You'll have to talk with someone who wears glasses, even if I do think I need them.

I Highly Suggest Revision, Oakley and Smith Optics

i currently own a pair of Smith Optics and they work amazingly

My current Smith Optics Ballistic Glasses specifically meet and exceed the MIL-PRF-31013 and ANSI Z87.1 Standards

Careful with that thoughm lots of places only take Full seal goggles and shooting glasses don't cut it there.

Shooting glasses are a lot nicer but you only have one pair of eyes.

Thanks for the replies.

Do you mean you're wearing your smiths over your glasses, using RX inserts or are the lenses of your Smith optics actually carrying a prescription? I took a look at Smith Optics; appears that they have the normal glasses and also full seal goggles. I'm looking at full seal goggles that can go over relatively bigger glasses, is that possible without RX inserts?

Haha, I think my face is half the problem, seems like rounded/curved goggles which seem to be most don't really fit my square/flat glasses that stick out. Just wondering if anyone has experience with such a feat. Are these goggles just simply more than big enough to fit glasses under? Are there extra large full seal goggles out there?

Of course I'm going to have to actually try them in stores first to know, since you guys won't know the size of my glasses haha

^ Try ESS Strikers or Land Ops. Fit's great over my glasses.

[takatsu]

Yeah, I was checking those out. Are your glasses big or small? XD Hey, if you're in Toronto, do you know which stores carry those so I can go try them?

I use to wear harry potter glasses and they fitted fine, now I wear more of a lower profile pair. Try Tactical Products Canada, they have a store in the GTA.

buy a set of small lens low profile glasses specifically for play..

Current eyewear fashion is quite wide.. and will cause issues for wear under goggles

the other option is RX inserts for goggles.

all cost $

Both my eye wearing friends have gotten the ESS goggles from Seals Tactical in Calgary. They did buy the nose piece that allows you to put lens in them, so they don't actually have to wear their own glasses in them. Hope this helps.

Cool. thanks! Someone elsewhere suggested Flakjaks those also look decently wide, spacious and less curvy, so looks like that might work too. Anyone tried Flakjaks?

wide , and not curvy = reduced peripheral vision.. not a good option

Up until now I used a pair of JT goggles over my glasses and it worked fine.

However I just recently got some prescription WileyX XL-1's, mmmmmm.
