Aug 21, 2006 8:05pm
UMM, i think theres been a post about this before but i couldnt find it......I need some goggles that will fit over my new glasses, since i cant wear contacts anymore. I did google it, and i want to know if these will withstand a bb shot......or if they will shatter.......if these arnt good what is good??

I did a non-scientific test with my old USGI dust goggles. I fired into them at point blank range with my GBB, no shatter or crack. So, I think the Bolle's should pass the test. Good luck.
Every day above ground is a good day.

I am not totaly sure, but i think Ski Goggles are rated somehow and are pretty tough. I think this because I skied for years and the things withstand some pretty awfull wrecks. seen lenses deeply gouged from tree branches, ice chunks, ski pole TIPS! But never seen ski goggles shattered or punctured. I have seen them cracked but never shattered.
What would Brock do?

ski goggles arent the safest goggles. repeated shots to the lense will cause it to pop out of the frame just like if you stepped on them. i would go with USMC sun, sand and wind goggles or the new Bolle airsoft goggles.

ah...this would explain why my goggles were not affected. Guitarded, you can get these pretty easy at Surplus stores for like...$10 or so.

They're $20 at Norca. I have a used pair I'm willing to sell for $10. I just need to find them

go to ShortyUSA.com and buy the Shooter Googles. They dont fog up, they will go over glasses and they wont crack or anything. I own them and they own. 20 bucks.
Im already here so somebody's gotta die....
