Eradicator, you left out the part of what you quoted above where I said <b> "I am not speaking to anyone in particular, just bringing it up." </b>  Apply that to what you quoted me as saying and you will see that I am NOT "mak[ing] it sound like [you] have the problem with it".  It was a general comment directed towards EVERYONE.

I have to ask...  why would goggles "fall off" at night (and not during the day)?  If you have goggles or glasses that can "fall off" as you say, you should NOT be using them for airsoft whether it's day or night!

You can't really compare the US Army to airsoft in terms of ballistic protection (apples to oranges here).  It's not as critical for the military to use such eye protection because if you're in the Army and get shot in the eyes, it won't matter what your goggles, glasses or NV is rated at...  in airsoft, we want to 'survive' that eye shot that can (and does) happen, and using ANSI Z87.1 rated eyewear is the most effective way to do that.

There's no point in continuing this - there's nothing to debate!  All I pointed out is that no one should expect to buy NV goggles and use them for airsoft without making sure that they are somehow using eye protection that is rated at least for ANSI Z87.1.

I am not attacking you Eradicator, just providing general information/reminders; so please don't take offense!

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">The #1 requirement for playing airsoft is that EVERYONE must use eyewear that not only completely covers and protects the eyes, but it MUST conform to the ANSI Z87.1 impact resistance rating. I am not speaking to anyone in particular, just bringing it up. If you don't like it - sorry - this is NOTHING new! It's stated in the rules and regulations that EVERYONE has read, agreed to and signed that they will abide by.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

Paco, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, (I totally agree that everyone should have adequate eye protection) but I can not find anything in the rules about eyewear having to meet the ANSI Z87.1 rating.
The rules state:
 <blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">All players on the field must wear adequate protection at all times in the playing area. We recommend that a player wear full face protection, however, it is your decision. No player will be allowed on the field without adequate eye protection. Eye protection must be put on before entering the Pouch
