Helmet Visor Question

Postby cplkill » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:47 pm

If I were to get this, then I would still need to wear eyepro, correct?

Not sure. It's not standard safety glasses. I can't speak for other event hosts, but I would let someone use this at a game I host. Others might or might not.

That would be up to the event promoter. I'd test something like that before using it anyhow. I've never really trusted chinky eyepro.

That being said, a face shield like that is probably gonna be more annoying than you think. It makes getting a site picture more difficult, can fog up easily, and everything you say will echo into your face and probably drive you insane.

That's basically a Riot Shield , not really meant for combat but for face protection against crap thrown at you .
You could use it but it will be sometime before you are comfortable wearing it.
