No.

BB's fragment when they impact, these fragments can penetrate the mask and find their way to your eyes. The bio-degradable BB's are notorious for fragmenting on impact and with some fields demanding their use, these masks are completely out. I have little to zero fog issues using BOLLE T-800's and you can get several different shades of lenses for them, and they are not expensive either.


If you're having LOTS of fog issues, find a local divers warehouse/shop, SCUBA divers that is, and ask them what they have for anti-fog. Catcrap is one I know that most Diver's Warehouse carries, and it works great. I use it when I hunt in humid warm weather on my scope so that it doesn't fog up on me. And have used it for snorkeling, but some shops carry stuff that works just as great with a more appealing name.

Safety is always of the utmost importance, and if one person claims to have had BBs fragment on these mech eyepieces, be wary of them. That being said, I have used this type of goggle in the past on a few occasions and taken several hits to the mech from different distances with .2g BBs and a velocity of around 350fps and never had any fragmentation. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but it's never happened to me.

if you want a full face mask, the Paintball Vforce grill is your best bet. Not only will all fields accept it, as they are paintball goggles, but they were able to stop a .40 cal bullet.

we actually tested a "good" pair of mesh goggles with a M4 shooting about 450 FPS and it managed to go clear through the mesh. so i wouldnt ever wear them.

Just buy a fanz kit and put them on regular paintball goggles. I did this late last summer and the only regret I have is not doing it sooner. Fogging is never a problem now, you cant hear them since they are super silent. Nothing sucks more than fogging gogles... spend 40$ and forget about it.

CatCrap FTW.

One day I tried 3 solutions: spit, potato juice and catcrap.
first two fail but catcrap is really amazing.
no need for fan.
