Since a lot of you don't like most goggles, I'll post these that I found at Botach Tactical. See the retailer review of them in the Retailer section, but I've never had a problem ordering from them. www.botachtactical.com/aoma2x2tago.htmlFull seal, ANSI rated, interchangeable between regular temples and elastic band, 3 different lenses. Probably won't work for guys that need glasses, as I don't see any Rx insert, but for the rest of us or contact users, I'd say they look pretty good, and are a pretty reasonable price. Shit, for 20 bucks, it's worth a try, right? Hopefully this will help to eliminate the problems we've been having with people posting about safety glasses bullshit. I'd like to keep this thread mostly limited to other recommendations of goggles and a link/retailer where to buy them. Hopefully it will get stickied if there are enough decent posts added. My goal is that we will drastically reduce the amount of people posting and discussing unsafe play using safety/shooter glasses. Thanks guys, and keep those eyes safe!

That right there makes this thread worth it. Good to hear Ghast. Lemme know how they work for ya, I've been waiting to get them forever, but I'm such a chairsofter I'm still wearing my Guarder T-800 knock-offs with thermal lens.

I don't really need them since I wear a full mask anyways, but for 20 bucks, why the hell not.

Kinda reminds me of the Guarder C4's. I'm thinking about getting a pair of these myself: redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=20517Once I have the extra cash I'll probably be getting pair. Until then, I'll just stick with my painted Flakjaks. I just wonder how good of a seal these would make around your eyes. It would be a shame if there's a large enough gap around the nose area for a BB to get in. I guess it all depends on the shape of your face and how the goggles sit on you.

There's foam all around the edges, so there ought to be a good seal if you use the elastic to keep them on your face. The earpieces might let them droop and unseal, but I can't imagine anyone trying to use them in a game with the earpieces on.

Those look to be the same as Wiley-Xs, and with the elastic band they create a better seal than some large goggles. Be warned, if they are anything like the Wileys and you have a rather large face or deep eye sockets they may be a bit uncomfortable.

Nice but with shipping it's just over $30.

And, if they're anything like Wiley's, they'll fog like cheech and chong's van.
Seriously, I have to work hard to fog anything, and I fog mine just going out FISHING. (best sunglasses for fishing, tho =p)

I know what you mean about the Wiley's Talis, but if you find the place to wear them just right, the fogging calms down. Plus, the nice thing about Wiley's is the fact that if your moving, the anti-fog kicks in immediately.
If your goggles begin the fog a bit, just move around in a circle or so, and it should go away.

Also, that anti-fogging stuff that you apply on to lenses, should help. I'm considering picking up a set of this myself.

Eck!
I just got the goggles and they...suck.
I don't have deep eye sockets and I like to think my face is normal sized, but with the elastic band on these things...your temples are mashed in and your eye sockets scream in agony.
They are very uncomfortable unless you wear them as glasses, which destroys the whole "full seal" thing.
The lenses are nice and they haven't fogged yet...but they are damn uncomfortable!

replace the strap. Just get some cloth, some velcrow, a needle+thread, and scissors.

Its not the strap...its the piece that holds the strap on to both sides. It is just unbearable.
