Well currently ive been tryn to get all my stuff together from guns to gear and I still have this problem. Im currently using a paintball/airsoft mask but its not scope friendly. I have my scope set so i can see perfectly threw a scope with a fists distance away from my face (like u wud a real rifle with recoil.) Should I go to simple airsoft glasses? swim-like goggles? or is there a better alternative out there?
Please and thankyou

I believe the Bolle mask's are pretty close to your eyes and provide great protection, also not to mention they dont fog as much as other goggles, but they do fog when standing still for long periods of time like any other goggles.

Try ESS glasses. They almost never fog from my experience. They're relatively cheap too. They come with three lenses (clear, smoke, yellow) and a case for ~40 bucks. They're ANSI rated and look fantastic.

Wiley x CQC's fit very close to your face, but are susceptible to fog. Check them out if you can't find a better alternative.

I have Bolle and 2 diffrent pairs of ESS goggles. They all suck ass and fog. Only ones I've found that do not are those ones with the fan. Need to get me pair but they are not very scope friendly  I'm curious to see whatca come up with. I'll have to check out the ones Arc suggested too. |

Like I said...ESS GLASSES I have nothing else to say. Most goggles will fog at one point or another. ESS glasses almost never fog from my experience. Great for scopes too.

i use my "stealth" brand mask with my scope all the time. no fogging problems at all due to the wire mesh. looks kind goofy, but it works. and i have personally never seen a bb shrapnel on them, and i shot them at point-blank with an mk1 carbine using meijer bb's. ask lugo, you can still see the dent in the mesh from it.
not bad for 15 bucks

I'm kind of a large rascal and gererate a lot of heat once I've been moving around and the answer for me has always been the ESS Turbo fan goggles. They never fog up but I've had 2 pair over 3 years and both had the low speed go out which I use the most because it is almost silent and I can hear better than with the high speed selected.Both pair were the "striker" size goggles which are bigger as to fit over glasses and since I only use iron sights, I cannot tell you how well they work with a scoped replica. ESS just came out with a new and improved battery/fan combo and they also have a smaller goggle called a "profile" that is supposed to work better with NVG's and scopes. I ordered a pair of Turbo fan profiles yesterday that will hopefully work good and I'll post a test as soon as I get them. |

I have the profile turbofans(new style)and they work great! I kept them in the low setting while playing then high when I would get killed to get the heat out. The googles have never fogged up.

How much? from where? EDIT: Oh yeah $150, you said in your gallery post. Where'd you buy them from though? |

I ordered mine directly from ESS's website because none of the stocking dealers had the new and improved version in yet. Just placed the order yesterday so I hope they ship soon. I hated to spend the money right now but goggles are a very important part of the kit.If you can't see, ya can't shoot!

I cud make a pair myself IF i could find a damn mini-fan. I dont really know where to order said parts. I had several electronics classes in highschool (im currently a junior.) SO i can make sets but I cant find the fricken fans. Links would help if anyone has any clue to where to get these.
