The Dangers of Wearing Mesh Goggles

Hmm yes.

What Variable said.. This makes me sad-I like mesh.

Except I really don't like any style of eyepro. You get metal with holes and compromised visibility or goggles/glasses that scratch and fog. It's the name of the game in airsoft.

I have that same style of mesh goggles. About a week ago they took a direct hit and showed a (very) minor/miniscule dent, but other than that they were unharmed. It's a little bump you wouldn't know about unless you ran your finger directly over.

So I'm just chiming in on the Most the time the BBs bounce right off, but sometimes bad things happen.

It's amazing that the BB fragmented into small enough portions to fit through those baby gaps, and even more so that those fragments still had enough energy after impact to embed themselves in your eye real nicely.

I am also sorry about your eye injury and how expensive and sucky that probably was.

Damn Church, that really sucks. It was kinda always in the back of my mind that it "could" happen, because I say a few BBs powder-ize, but I never though it would be anything so serious. Keep us posted on your condition man. Also to agree with the others, this is very disconcerting to me as I like mesh.

See Tom I knew you were fine. Besides it's not like you don't have another eye. What a whiner

In my opinion, putting a solid lens under mesh goggles completely nullifies the point of wearing mesh in the first place. -shrug- Whatever, though.

I feel for you, a while back I got metal in my eye and it rusted. They had to grind it out.
Not fun.

Dish soap trick on solid lenses results in no fogging if done correctly. I used it for CQC7 and was wearing a a helmet, ESS full seal goggles, and a blaclava. No fog at all.
