Wiley Glasses

[SickPointe]

I've seen Navy SEALs on the discovery channel wearing these in CQB. I think I may get some in the future. Any comments? They say they are protective enough for something like a BB (fragments in CQB: Ballistics).

Good find Richard.  They provide protection AND their good looking   Ya can't beat that!

hmmm, I'd get some Bolle or other tactical goggles if you're willing to spend that much on glasses.   I just don't trust anything that doesn't have a complete seal on the face.  All it takes is one BB to make it past the glasses and start bouncing around, and you're in for a world of hurt...

I know Minky I was thinking of that to. I think I'll stick with my UT goggles I got off my old paintball mask.

Me and a few guys in my crew use those (or knock-off's).  We don't have the tinted kind because we often play in indoor games.  The clear ones look alright but the tinted/mirror ones look really sweet!

They were $10/$12.  They came in a case with a neck strap.  I found them at a hardware store (so they deffinetly were know-offs, but they look almost the same).

Great for airsoft.

Great for airsoft as long as you don't care about losing an eye.

When I was in AZ I used those type of glasses but after the last skirmish seeing the bb getting into Trooper’s goggles ( a million in one shot! ) I think I am going to stick to sealed goggles.

Those do look like pretty cool glasses but for 36 bucks you could buy a paintball mask that provides more protection.  Or you could pay a little more and go for a gas mask because they provide a lot of protection and never fog up.

i wear a gas mask.......true, they dont fog up but you can hear me  breathing from about 30 feet away.

[dicepackage]

then just don't breathe  

[Ed]

I hear that people poke holes or cut slits in the gas mask to make it easier to breathe.  It will help you be more silent...but it can't be used as a real gas mask thought, it'll be just a prop.

[Blorfo]

yeah............i could do that...........but then it wouldnt be a gas mask, as ed said, and what if the russians.......err......terrorists drop the bomb........err the anthrax?

[Ballista]

Bah, guilt would force you to give your mask to some kid or attractive chick.

[Blorfo]

i dont know...................im pretty cold and anti-social sometimes.........

[dicepackage]

They are pretty cheap now that the anthrax scare has died down so you can buy 2 masks for about 25 bucks.
