Today I returned to my apartment for lunch to find that a pair of ESS Land Ops goggles had been finally delivered in the mail! I caught an auction on eBay for $30.49 including shipping, a pretty good deal considering most places retail it for over $40, shipping not included.
First impressions:
- Having two lenses, clear and tinted, is a good deal
- Comfortable
- Sufficiently low profile to use M16 iron sights without problems
- Fits over glasses pretty well, as advertised
This is a step up from the cheap Scott paintball goggles I got a while back, which were both relatively uncomfortable with glasses, barely allowed a good sight picture, and half as expensive as the ESS. I don't know about the X500's I was thinking about, but these ESS Land Ops fit the bill pretty well.
I should be going to a game on Saturday so I'll post of any fogging or other issues, but for the time being it appears to be an investment well made.
