Pball goggles are far less safe IMHO. They are rated on a different scale. Ballistic goggles, like the Bolle T800(excellent goggles) are ANSI Z87.1 rated for the most part. they can stop a nail gun.
Pball goggles use a different system, their lenses flex and are designed to bounch a paintball off. A nail gun will tear right through.
Only get a Pball mask if your field requires it...if not, get ballistic goggles.

ski goggles or other sport goggles are not acceptable.
you only get 2 eyes...dont cheap out.
My bad Droc, overlooked the gear section, i'd appreciate it if someone could move this thread there.

What goggles would you suggest for use at most fields in Ottawa/Toronto. I am mainly interested in the outside (more realistic) games, rather then the inside (paintball-like) games. Do you think Wiley-X's or Bolle x800's would be good for that?
