Eye Protection
What are people using for eye protection these days... I used to use shop glasses (practically sunglasses) I guess thats not accepted anymore.

If you're at a paintball field, you typically have to use paintball goggles. If you're at an airsoft specific field, they typically allow ballistics goggles that seal around the eyes.

I used shop glasses, nothing wrong with that. I use either ESS glasses or ESS advancer goggles now.

I think it's more accurate to say that the lens could withstand that bullet - I doubt the mask would hold up.

.40? isn't that a bit excessive for paintball? You know, considering military goggles are only rated to a .22....

I use mastercraft shop glasses. They fit over my perscription glasses and wrap around for side protection as well.
They stopped a 8mm .36 bb going 420 fps from 10 feet away without nary a scratch.

ESS Landstrikers. Excellent goggles, that can put in a RX insert or fit directly over glasses. I was honestly very surprised when they fit very comfortably over my glasses.
However, If you are asian. I don't recommend them unless you have a meshmut or helmet to pull the head strap around. They may not fit on your face as well or comfortably as they should leaving potential opening near the nose. I will probably buy a pair of "Asian fit" ESS goggles eventually.

I'm still waiting for a release of replacement lenses for the Asian Fit ESS gogs. As soon as they're available online we could do an ASC group order...

For airsoft specific events, Wiley-X SG-1s and various ESS products (full seal models only) have served me well.
As for paintball masks, V-Force and Dye have given good results. For random plinking, Oakley M-Frames are good, but I wouldn't trust them with incoming fire. |

So long as you're just plinking, I think regular shop safety glasses are ok. Just something to protect your eyes. My plastic gbb slide exploded on me when I didn't have glasses on... luckily it didn't cause any damage though.
