Bolle X1000 OTG (Over The Glasses) Tactical Goggles
I got these goggles and immediately do not like them for two reasons.
1. I dont have any idea of which glasses they would expect to fit under this. Maybe John Lennons.
2. The way they moved the front lens out puts right angles in it which gives you a much smaller range of peripheral vision than standard ones. You can see on the other side of the angles, but it's blurry and distorted a bit.
Get contacts and the standard goggles. I did not use them in any official capactiy. Other than the view issue, seem like great goggles. Will probably be ordering standard x1000 in exchange of them.

HA! I fucking knew it! Bolle is full of shit. (To be clear, I'm gloating at you, I'm gloating at Bolle and their bullshit over the goggle claim on the lowest profile goggles I've ever handled).

I'd be careful using swear words like that on this forum. If I remember right that could get you a ban from here. Just a heads up man. |

Being a smart ass to an Admin will too. Just a heads up man.

Haha, I totally forgot that he was an admin when I posted that, my bad. I didnt even realize he was an admin. Disregard my previous statement then. But on topic, I have a pair of bolle x500's that I am trying to get rid of. They are definitely not low profile and their are much better and cheaper full seal goggles out there than bolle's.

Regardless, I think anybody with a Hellfish avatar knows the rules... We have mods for a reason, just sit back and let them deem if the post is unacceptable.

I think he's got the point, Sieve. And I might add that you should follow your own advice.
whatlurksbelow,
Bolle goggles have always been great for me. My Bolle X1000s (not the OTG model) have been solid, and I have yet to find a goggle that fogs as little as my T800s (I should have bought three more pair when they were dirt cheap). The X500s are meant to be worn over glasses and as such their a bit bulky and cumbersome, definitely not the greatest, but for the price Botach has been selling them at for years, they're hard to be for an OTG goggle system.

Yea your right knief, I forgot I bought them when I used to wear glasses. I've never even worn them except to make sure they fit! But since I now wear contacts I have no need for them. And I use the pro boards app sieve, so his pic never came up, or I would have realized it and never said anything.
