Hey Craig, I tried to e-mail you back but there was some kind of error.  I prefer the balaclava/goggle set-up also.  I love the oakley goggles that I use.  I think they're jsut regular ski goggles or something.  hope that helps!

I prefer sealed eyewear, but masks are open to discussion.  I do like having the protection for my teeth, but I don't smile much when I play!  I know Paco's are expensive, but the goggles worn by myslef and two other players are not a lot cheaper.  $65 range.  Bolle doesn't make them cheap, but it's your vision they are protecting.  How do you put a price on that?

I agree Riggs. I would pay that type of price (definately!), but the new AA rules prevent me from doing that. See, as someone under 18, I can't just wear something like that. I do know that they are better than paintball goggles, but I have to wear a full face mask. Alas, those wonderful things such as my eyes won't recieve the protection they deserve...

I don't mean to bash the rules or anything, it's just that you guys are saying how you want your eyes to get the utmost protection, but I can't. It's kinda like getting either and excellent gun, or an average gun with some accessories (in this case the full face protection).

Bye.

The Hatch goggles I am selling are very good goggles.  The other pair I have are the ESS Turbo Cam goggles (with the fan).  Those cost me $125...  and I was debating which to keep...  The Hatch goggles are great to use with scopes and such as they are low profile and have a metal frame.  THey also retain 100% periphrial vision.  The ESS goggles I have don't let me use a scope very easily, but have the fan to vent hot air away.  The Hatch goggles are nice too in that I can wear them with any hat or helmet without them getting in the way.  The ESS goggles are a bit more restrictive in that department.  If you want quality eyewear, you're going to spend at LEAST $60.  The Bolle T800 are probably the best buy to get a good goggle with not spending too much money.  However, if you've been eyeing the Hatch Boss 6000's, I can guarantee that you won't find a pair for less than what I am selling them for.

Mike has first dibs on them as he e-mailed about them right away.  After that (if he doesn't want them), I will sell them to whomever wants them.

Oakley.com has E Frames with either Clear or Orange lenses.  Oakley goggles are an excellent choice, and these ones are only $30.

Paintball masks do not offer a lower degree of eye protection, Cyphen.  You are not giving up anything in that department by wearing one.  They can take as many full auto point blank blasts as you want to give them.  I've done it to mine.  I use both a full mask, and the Bolle T800s.  There are pros and cons to both.

Goggles/Eye Protection
« Reply #6 on: January 11, 2002, 11:52:47 AM »
What's everyones opinions on the best form of eye protection.  I prefer goggles & a balaclava to a full face shield... and I'm shopping for an affordable set of functional tactical goggles.  I'm fishing for peoples opinions on best brand, best form factor (low profile, not HUGE), etc...

I know Paco is selling the cadillac of goggles (Hatch Boss 6000)over in the "For Sale" forums, but I'm not sure I want to blow that much cash, and I don't like how they handle their tinting add-on.
