Well worth the price. Very well made. I have a pair of Bolle X800's and they are just not as well made or solid as the Ess pair. The goggles came with two lenses (smoke, clear) a speed sleeve, soft carry case that has velcro straps.
They are quite comfortable on the head and not as heavy as I thought they would be with a motor and battery. The one area I was worried about was the battery compartment and it is quite solid. Low and high speed for the fan, high speed is barely audible and I had thought that they did not work at first on low speed because it is nearly silent. The fan is operated by a push-button on the battery holder. Overall, I am very satisfied with the goggles and cannot wait to use them this coming weekend.
The field of view is, in my opinion better than the Bolles. Also, these are the profile version, and the head relief is about as much as the Bolles, there is no problem sniping with these goggles.

Well, time for dinner now, so I had better take them off now at home. ;D I am rather different at times. Had 'em on for 2 hours and no fogging, ha!

How much were the goggles? where did you get them from? link? sorry for all the questions, but I'm looking for a good pair of goggles that won't break the pocketbook. My flakjacks are just not performing how I expected. They collect condensation like no other. Well, time for dinner now, so I had better take them off now at home. ;D I am rather different at times. Had 'em on for 2 hours and no fogging, ha! You are not alone mate. We all have our little wierd things we do with our airsoft stuff at home or when noone is around.  |

Copy all that and second it! I went thru two pair of the old style turbo -fans,the low speed would go out. I got the new Profile version last year and they seem to be new and improved.No fog at all with these and very comfy. Last pair of goggles you will need and worth the $$.

You must have had the Striker turbofans. These were only 10 dollars more. I do like them. So far have 3 hours of use.. ummm, wearing them.

Heh... I just spend 25 bucks on the parts to make a fan, and custom install it onto my goggles. 2 - 25mm cooling fans, a switch and a 9v battery, heck, a speed control if you want it, and you have what others pay tons for.

I dont like home-rigging anything. I will spend the money on the real quality items.

Eh, they're the same things in essence, with a casing around it, and a large jack up b/c ppl think they are quality, but hey, to each his own, you have money to toss around so why not right?

Well theres also a way higher chance that the home-rigged version of these goggles would come apart in a game. The quality would just be better on the attachment to the goggles because of the "custom casing" made for the turbo fan. The home-rigged parts themselves may function perfectly well, however, the possibility of mishaps are much higher. I guess that you're more paying for the ease of no hassle as well.
By the way, my buddy has got a pair of these goggles. Well worth the money, I'll be getting mine sometime as well.
