Goggles question, ANSI approved, etc.
 

Hi everyone.

I've searched around here for clear answers but I'm still unsure about a lot of thing. First and foremost, are "ANSI Z87.1" approuved goggles good enough to play with 400FPS AEGs with .20 BBs and are they approved by "airsoft seller/community (international) or whatever.

Second, are paintball goggles approved to play airsoft. Will a shitty full face with no brand name withstand a 400FPS shot with .20 BBs, cause I went to Sail and the geek seller said is goggles couldn't do 300FPS with Paintball ammos.

So I'm wondering what's safe and not. Those ESS Goggles or those Paintball goggles. My friends use them, I don't wanna make 'em blind. Thanks.

By the way, I've read the FAQs but my question is more "what is approved and what is not" rather than "who plays with what".

Thanks.

Bolle 800 Series. ESS Goggles and Glasses are all ANSI Approved.. Well worth it.. I have a set available of Bolles..

And, are those paintball one able to stop airsoft shots?

Name brand paintball goggles are quite capable of stopping airsoft shots.

It also depends on where you play, some places only allow paintball goggles.

As a rule of Thumb, JT goggles can withstand Airsoft at 400fps with 0.2s just fine, but remember, most paintball arenas which are used for airsoft will only allow paintball goggles on the field for insurance purposes.

Yeah, but I just wanna make sure those "Eagle logo paintball goggles thingy" are gonna keep thoses eyes to safety.

They're your eyes. I'd spend some cash if I were you to protect them.

Mind you, you always have your other if one gets shot out...

Brass Eagle is the brand. Anyone knows if I shot 'em at point blank and 400FPS .20 is a good test?

BE's will have no problem on the field.

Thanks for answer everyone. It's that this guy was freaking me out, sayin those goggle couldn't withstand a shot at 300FPS and blah blah...

...I meant 300FPS with paintball ammo...

one is a bb, and one is liquid..two different things. read up and see what rating your goggles have..dont take the word of others for it..they are your eyes.

Sure would, but not sure if there's any rating for those "eagle brass" goggles...

Oh, and I also hope those Tippmann goggles are okay too. If anyone knows for sure, tell me.

Rest of them play with ESS profile goggles. I guess they can't go wrong, but the other players prefer full faces.
