Hey, looking at new goggles, as all I have is a paintball mask. Will arena flakjacks fit over glasses? Any suggestions...

They'll fit over glasses, but don't be surprised if they fog up. I bought a pair because of their vaunted anti-fog capabilities... still fogged up at Blood Dynasty, same with Embed's pair.

well it was also ~800 degrees with no breeze in that wooded-valley type area. my "anti-fog" goggles got me too.
the FlakJacks should have no problem fitting over glasses, they are pretty large and spacious.

Anyone ever wondered why Goggleoverstock.com has them for $12.95 and everyone else sells them for $30~50? I actually looked into that. The ones Goggleoverstock.com has are decertified by the US Military. The lenses are deemed defective. I guess this has been a bit of a legal issues between the makers, the military and Goggleoverstock. I guess the Army isn't happy they don't advertise that they are defective and police, soldiers, etc, keep buying them. I found out when I contacted the maker to buy some directly. hmm my Flakjaks never fog though I have only used them for 2 days of play this summer. I like them more than any other googles I have. I started to fog a pair but I was actually TRYING to fog them. Suckers are sure hard to fog. |

problem with the flakjacks you see around is that the vents are set up for a dry climate...michigan isn't a dry climate even in the middle of a draught, the air is still humid, and so the vents on the tan desert flaks don't work well
thing is if you're wearing glass, the flak's lense won't fog, but your glasses will, cause not enough ventilation

You know, I've been wearing a paintball mask my entire airsofting career. You don't need to change just for fashion's sake. I think a paintball mask with a thermal lens will avoid fogging as well as anything else.

Quote from the Arena rep:
"We do not make a double lens goggle (production) however I have played
around with some...the military can not use a dual lens because of
optical distortion."

Bolle T800s are, quite simply, the best goggles I have ever worn. They will fog on a hot & humid day, but pretty much only if you stop moving for an extended period of time. They're also low-profile, so you can easily get down on your rifle's sights. I know a few people that use them with glasses, but then again munin seems to prefer other goggles to his pair of T800s.
