MAKKOO Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 X800, unless you wear glasses, in that case X500. (Or, what I prefer, ESS Tactical Thermal) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I use X800 really good goggles, however I have try ESS and IMHO they are more comfortable. I will definitely never use mesh they look freaking ugly!!! Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Mesh masks are great because they don't steam up, but they do limit your ability to see movement, and they aren't as good in low-light games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I went with 800's cus my head tends to heat up a lot. Never had my 800's fog up under any conditions; indoor outdoor cold hot humuid you name it. thumbs up to them Link to post Share on other sites
KWP Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 My friend and I both bought the Wiley-X SG-1 and I've had some problems with fogging. I'm more annoyed that the lenses scratched a bit too easily. My firend, however, has had few scratch problems, but can't wear them for over five minutes without getting fogged up. We've moved onto both owning Bolle X800s now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I suppose you got the first version of the SG-1. There are new vented lenses available now with 2 small slots on each of the lenses near the temple. The current S.W.A.T. Magazine has a review about both the SG-1 and CQC. According to the authour Denny Hansen you may also remove sections of the Ultra-Foam to keep the goggles from fogging up. Link to post Share on other sites
chicouk Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 i have a pair of 500s, if i were you i advise you to get the 800s or commandos due to the rubber surroundings. When i wear my 500s on a hot day the sponge surroundings just soak up my sweat and it is really uncomfortable. I like the x800s since it basically fogless due to the small gap between the frame and lense (not big enough for the bb to go thru) and the rubber surounding making it comfortable and doesnt soak up ur sweat. i have heard people say 500s are better for people who wear glasses. Well thats not tru cause my m8 wears glasses while wearing his x800s on top. if you prefer the design of the 500s then i say go for the commando due to the foamless design Link to post Share on other sites
MTHaynes Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Our team exclusively uses the ESS Turbo Cam. Out of the box this a great goggle, however I would recommend trading out the lenses for the ESS thermal version. Total cost US is $120 for the goggle and $20 for the upgraded lens. Expensive solution but if you cant see the game stinks. Note: the thermal lens I believe are only available directly from ESS. Hope this helps. I also use the T800. Great but I seem to get fog with these but they do work well with my AN/PVS – 7B Link to post Share on other sites
Chris P Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 So would the x500 fit over my glasses or would i be better of getting a paintballing mask? Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Oops, I forgot about your FPS law. I don't think it'd destroy bb's at only 328fps, so the mesh masks may be more effective out there, over here, theyre downright dangerous <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've seen bb's numerous times shatter with a stock TM m16 shootign about 270 fps.

enzo100 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 The commandos are pretty nice. I myself use a Dye Invision from the good ol paintball days (wait theres such a thing as a good paintball day . But sometimes I use shooting glasses. Link to post Share on other sites
