No, they are not paintball approved. Paintball approval requires much more lengthy tests than direct hits on the lens. It requires other things such as shard protection from specific angles - just to prevent the shards of paintball shells entering certain areas of the goggles at certain angles. These are not issues that "tactical goggles" have a concern with.

Some guys have been sanding down the masks and getting great results with it.

No, it can not. Although if a BB shatters in to tiny fragments, there is a possibility it may be able to slip through the opening.

It doesn't make much sense since these things seem to be able to take a .22 round and not break? o_0 I dont think a paintball could do as much dmg as a real firearm?

but anyways let me know if us all know whenever u get the chance to try other goggles with these masks ^_^

now I just gotta hope they fit my face :banghead:

For a while there, I also thought you were talking about the masks taking a .22...

that one with the fire looks pretty damn gnarley.

lol yea sorry, I did mean the ESS goggles...
So where exactly would ESS goggles be allowed to be used in the Ontario area since most fields run on the same or similar rules. o_0

Public fields will more than likely all require paintball goggles. Can't speak for Private fields as you'd have to contact the owner/host directly for those games.

nice we played at our local paintball place and they looked at the mask and were like "no problem" we didnt even show him the ski masks yet... i couldnt wear mine. my mod wasent working right...but 8skippy40 wore his all day with JT paintball goggles insted of the toher ones.(he said he felt safer)
everyone liked the masks even my sister wore hers for a bit... people looked at them so weird and funny!! they are pretty sweet!!!

Blastyman · May 27th, 2008, 23:45

My initial impressions are good.

It seems to fit my head good and eyes work out good for me. No loss in periphial vision or anything.

The goggles it came with fit the mask nice but I noticed them fogging up in the house.

But my Bolle 800 and Revision goggles fit the mask well and didn't seem to fog at all in the house.

I guess my only concern was one that others have mentioned is there are a few stray fibers here and there sticking out of the back of the mask near nostrils and mouh and eyes. They need to betrimmed and sanded so as not to iratate the skin.

I guess the real test for me will be on the weekend but so far so good for me anyhow.

Lakonian · May 28th, 2008, 01:05

Yeeh. Too many loose fibers.

Please, warshock, if you're listening.... you MUST finish the inside of these things. Getting glass fibers in your eyes, or in your lungs kinda sucks. Thanks!

Shirley · May 28th, 2008, 01:28

Getting mine on Wednesday!!

ColtFarmer · May 28th, 2008, 05:24

Shirley · May 28th, 2008, 19:47

Thanks Brian!
