They look pretty nice. Most of the guys on my team just either wear a paintball mask or a pair of yellow safety goggles, which reminds me to ask, what kind of goggles do most people on the forum wear? (not to draw attention away from specters post)

Those things look like fog magnets to me...not much more space than Wiley-X CQC's, and I've yet to meet anyone that can play with the Wiley's without fog issues.
I, personally, wear Bolle T-800s, and wouldn't give em up for anything.

heh...don't apologize for posting unless you post something stupid...which this isn't.
They may well be great goggles, but I'm not going to try 'em, as I've got a pair I'm extremely happy with. I'd be interested to see how well they work, just to know there's another option out there.

Im on the level with xaos, as I also have T-800s and they are beautiful goggles, they also fit around a PASGT helmet great!

but dont let us forget the price of t-800's , i would like to get me a pair, but there are more important things than 65 dollar goggles, when somehting like this, or when some good ol' scott paint ball goggles will do....

Have your goggles fog up and hardly see for a low price, or wear safety goggles and get shot in the eyes from the sides for a low price
ORRRR
Spend a decent amount of cash for nearly Unfoggable goggles that fit around a helmet, protect your eyes AND let the "breathe"

Sorry Josh, I'm gonna have to go with specter on this one. 60 dollar goggles are really not on the top of my list either. Paintball masks work great, especially as spare goggles for noobs. The t-800s don't protect the whole face like a paintball mask does. I know this guy named troy that got one of his teeth chipped from a hardball shotgun. And if you get a little fan that attaches to the top of your mask (I have one), they don't fog at all. They offer more protection and are have the price of your goggles. Don't think I'm trying to start an argument because i'm not. If you try to argue, I will stop responding. I just want specter to know that he doesn't need really expensive goggles to play safely

I guess reading through this post, i have one question to ask those who say that T800s cost to much. WHats is your vision worth to you? Cause i like to see. Its nice.

As a matter of fact, my vision is worth about 65 bucks to me (that is what t800s cost right?)
As if my eyes are gonna get popped out the back of my head if I don't wear the same goggles you do. ;D
How much are your teeth worth to you? Since I had braces, my teeth are worth about 2400 dollars. t800s cant protect them.

the only case against paintball masks that i can make (and this is from first hand experience) The sights on many AEGs (mp5 series, G3, thompson, AK-47 to name a few) and looking through reddots/sniper rifles can be hindere with the extra plastic on a paintball mask making (in some cases) almost nearly impossible to use your iron sights effectivly. the way i would go about it, and this is just my opinon is wearing a nice set of goggles, a baclava (sp?) and possibily a SWAT style helmet

Do this, for every game you play put 5 bucks away that day, go through the agony of fog a few times, then after 12 games youll have enough to have some nice goggle's, they wont fog, look great and you'll be that much safer in them, if you're gonna go the extra mile and buy an aeg, might as well by some t-800's, I mena it is the sport we love might as well lay some bucks on gear also.

Wiley, you're dead right about the difficulty of sighting with a paintball mask on. I use electronic sights, so I dropped $20 on a rail to lift them up to a managable height. If the dot sight goes dead I'll be firing blind, but given that I'll also have a $400 piece of equipment that just stopped working, accuracy will not be first on my mind.
I did try playing with just goggles once, at Op: Blind Fury. I took one hit to the cheek and decided to forget it. The pain wasn't all that bad, really, but why put up with it at all?
