| Hey guys, I need some help. Here's the deal: I want some eye protection that can double as sunglasses. They needs to be airsoft-proof so I can wear them on the field. Any suggestions? | |

| Well... according to that video with the PTW shooting it, it looks like it can stand alot of joules.. I also like the tan look, but it wouldn't go with my outfit | |

| I like those because I can switch between the elastic and the normal, and they'll go with my US Marine loadout | |

| any eye protection that is AOS Z87 plus is allowed on AS fields that don't require goggles. it's just a tip that will help. | |

| Oakley, Numa Tactical, or SPY Both great brands and real stylish.
My cousin and I teamed up to buy a pair of Oakley Radar's for a friend in the sandbox and he says they are the best he's had. But I don't think you want to drop $200 on shades...
With OA's you're paying alot for the brand name...but don't pay under $50 for ballistic glasses. I got a pair of "ballistic" glasses for marxcomp and they shattered...don't even think about the "bargain" brands. | |

| Umm try going into like home depot or lowes or whatever handy man stores you got there and see if you can pick up a pair, there about half the price but still they have the protection you need.
as long as the lenses are AOS Z87+ you should be fine not much can break the lenses. such as a point blank 550 bar 10 I tried already. | |

| I used to use my DeWalt sunglasses before I lost them on the field. They were the best. They're tough to find these days though. unverified site | |

WOAH. Haha, wow, what a coincidence, I was actually looking at those earlier today, haha. Those and the Flakjackets. Yeah, I want to keep it $50 or lower, otherwise, I'd definitely go for the Oakleys. @Sno I looked at the hellflys, but eh.... @Everybody After looking back, I've decided I want to buy those ones I posted. Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it! Mods, thread lock please | |

Hahahahaha, sorry having one of my 5 minute rips........... Wouldn´t go with my outfit..........PPPpfffffttt, sounds like my wife or daughter trying on new dresses, `` Oh !! I so like this one, but it dosn´t match my shoes !!! ´´ No Offense Warsawwarrior9, but that just tickled the "Watch your language" out of me, thanks, you made my day.

No Offense Jarhead999 76 65, but that just tickled the "Watch your language" out of me, thanks, you made my day. Psst, slob, warsaw made your day, not me, haha. My loadout is woodland and desert MARPATs with CB gear, so it would work nicely. @ROTC I like the M Frames and the Wileys, but I don't want to spend that much money. I'm trying to save up for my WE AFC M16A3, so I want to spend as little as possible while still being safe. (I'll pay the price for safety equipment happily though, I've already been down the eye injury road)
