Ordered a "Wire Mesh Safty Mask" (http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/images/facemask_jpg.jpg) from Airsoft Atlanta. The Mask for 20 bucks imho leaves a lot to be desired. I thought it was gonna be more of a hard plastic. Its made of soft material often found on Paintball Masks. I dont know if they allow these in AO games, if they do, I would recommend a mesh mask/goggle.

The thing about these types of goggles, bbs could break, and get in by these holes. Bugs can get in. Fog although obviously cant occur, the problem is that seeing through them is like taking a screen out of a door and putting it close to ur face, it makes it kinda hard to see so you have this box pattern running everywhere you look.

Wire mesh goggles are good. My bros have them. I found them to be absoloutly perfect and I'm getting a pair. people say that the bbs will shatter and pieces will fly into your eye, but I don't think that is going to happen.

I really dont knwo about those. Id have to see them 'battle tested' before Id invest into them. If you take a bb to the goggles, its going to dent in the mesh and over time rust may occur with possible breakage of the wire.

Last time I saw one, it was only plastic, not metal mesh. So it could also easily puncuture at close range or breakl the mesh. But thats from what ive seen, as this one wasnt metal.

Personally I just think the full seal goggle with lenses supply the best saftey and all around use. Get the right kind to suit yourself, and you probably will have almost no fogging problems, but of coarse this depends on just luck and how your body sweats, etc. But best thing to do is start working around for the best ones you like.
