If i were to put prescription lenses into the Revision Military Sawfly glasses, would they still be safe for airsoft? And are these glasses good for airsoft considering there would be space in between the lenses and my face
-
They should be. Ideally the BB would be hitting the Sawfly lens that the prescription lenses are behind which is rated Z87.1.
However, they won't be considered full seal so fields and events that require full seal eye protection won't let you use them.
-
If i had the normal lenses replaced with prescription ones, is it possible the bb will break the lense?
-
That I'm not sure. If the prescription lenses are rated Z87.1 then yeah they would be fine but I'm not sure if those are a thing. Everyone I know that has prescription lenses uses the inserts that go behind the regular lens.
-
That depends on the lenses. We have no way of answering that. But more of the prescription lenses aren't sufficiently rated.
You also typically want Z87.1+ not regular Z87.1.

Another thing i could try are contacts. What is your opinion on shemaghs? They are more comfortable than mesh masks but do they protect my teeth so that they wont chip? Do they cause fogging problems?

Hi,
I wear prescription glasses and have finally found my solution. I tried contacts and also tried wearing my glasses under goggles. Just didnt work. I bought some Pyramex V3G-Rx Eyepro (my video review here -> http://www.jimmermilsim.com/2014/09/01/pyramex-v3g-rx-eyepro/ I bought the prescription inserts and took them to Sam's Club/ Walmart. It cost me $115.00 to get my presciption lens put into the inserts. I feel it was money well spent. Now all I need is $3000 to get lasik. :o
-
Every time I tried to use a shemagh to cover my mouth it actually made the fogging worse because it deflected my breath to the goggles. Personally, I trust mesh face masks more than pieces of cloth to protect my mouth even if it means dealing with a bit more discomfort.
-
I use a bump helmet, lower mesh mask combo. I modified the mesh mask to clip into the helmet. Really reduces or eliminates fogging.
-
I use the revision sawfly with the prescription insert. That's your best bet. Then if you needed full seal eye pro the prescription carrier will fit into revision desert locust goggles.
