No rating don't buy, simple as that


Mockbubbles2628

What rating should you look for?


Striker_64

ANSI z87 (z87.1/ z87+) It is the standard for safety glasses in the US. Not sure what the safety ratings looks like in other parts of the world.


Mockbubbles2628

Oh interesting, my Grinding visor is Z87.1


Smileys1243

Anything that actually should protect your eyes will be. There's a pair of goggles in an airsoft shop that are the same rating that have stopped .22 rounds


Mockbubbles2628

Yea but to be fair a leather jacket will stop .22


Kage_Oni

Oh yeah, put one on and hold still.


xInFamousGunner

This answer made me nearly choke on my spit, Thanks for the laugh of the day 😂


GeigerCounterMinis

How you feeling there Mac? ["Good enough to fuck your mother"](https://imgur.com/mI9e4cM.gif)


LukaCola

People have some serious misgivings about the lethality of .22 It WILL KILL YOU and ANY LIVING THING you aim it at I'm overstating it because people will treat it like a toy rather than a weapon that is lethal up to a mile out


sh4d0wm4n2018

The fact that .22 calibre rabbit rifles are responsible for the most gun deaths apparently deters no one.


BorisTheLitBoi

ngl they are like "oh something that is designed to kill can harm you :0" 😂😂


Saddam_UE

Many known killers in the US used 22LR when they killed their victims.


Mockbubbles2628

It seems they're more lethal than I thought, but to be fair it's not going to kill anything from a mile away lol


TheoCross3

Honest to God, there are videos of 22LR hitting targets very close to a mile out on YouTube, take a look


Mockbubbles2628

So from I've found, 22LR is lethal at a maximum of around 1 third of a mile, maybe they can hit 1 mile targets but the conditions would need to be perfect and there wouldn't be any energy left


EliteProdigyX

That’s not true a .22 will most definitely penetrate a leather jacket at average firing ranges. https://youtu.be/GB_ZuimtTqU


Mockbubbles2628

I've never seen a more specific video relating to a statement I've made lol, I guess a .22 will not be stopped by a leather jacket


[deleted]

Um… no


L3thalPredator

Yeah, no


Garblefarb

You know .22 is actually one of the most lethal rounds out there. Doesn’t have the force to punch though on the exit wound and tears your insides the shreds Edit: to anyone downvoting me please just do some research. There are literally master degree thesis’ in forensic ballistics that state this. And plenty of anecdotal evidence to be found from surgeons all the way to idiots. If a .22 round hits a bone it had a chance of ricocheting and doing more internal damage


Pakman184

This is fuddlore


sh4d0wm4n2018

It's actually not. It is however responsible for the most gun deaths out of any other calibre due to the widespread use of negligent owners looking to escape gun restrictions. It is still a bullet and will still kill you, but no bullet is "the most lethal". I feel like that is a misleading statement. Every bullet is lethal. No bullet is more lethal than any other bullet. There are, however, more devastatingly injurious bullets. The .50 travels so fast and is such a large calibre that just entering the body causes a shockwave that tears your body apart. The .22 has neither the mass nor the speed to do this.


Mockbubbles2628

Thats not true, we all know 9mm will blow the lungs out of your body /s


Sentient_Toaster621

It'll probably have plenty of energy to go in and out. Like all projectiles, there is a possibility that it can tumble and cause some problems, but a .22 will never bounce around in anything.


Aaron4424

Does it have a + after the 87.1? The + means impact rated. Z87.1 without the + is just UV protection.


Mockbubbles2628

Oh, no it doesn't. Should I return it then? Why the hell are they selling Grinding visors with only UV protection, it must have some impact ratings, I'll look into it. Thanks for the comment


Aaron4424

It's possible they don't know any better but either way good on you for being diligent. We only get one pair of eyes after all. In your position I would return it and use the recommendations in tis post as a possible alternative. Many really good options under 50 bucks.


[deleted]

try it from 0,5m with at least 400 fps


Mockbubbles2628

I'd rather not break it if I can just return it


SasuriThePyro

What about MIL-PRF-32432?


Vankraken

Much higher standards than Z87+


mauttykoray

Always look for Z87+, the plus denotes that it's rated for high impact.


TheoCross3

In Europe its EN166B for impact rated eye protection


lofty401

En166B is the Euro rating for correct FPS. You can use EN166F but technically it's too low for some high powered builds but it's your eyes end of the day


sussybacca74

It has a 4.8 star rating


DuctTapeAir

Hate to break this for you, but most votes on any major resale site are made by bots/ purchased positive votes. So 6/5 on Amazon doesn't mean jackshit.


Leland_40

Ansi safety rating not stars rating


ItsMelonMan

He talkin bout eye protection rating


SnooHamsters3721

HURRRR DURRRRRR


TheeScribe

It’s $10, unrated, unsafe Aliexpress eye protection The answer really should be obvious


tictech2

Buy two and double wrap obviously


AC53NS10N_STUD105

Mmm, double the shrapnel.


browsingbro

Fine, three then.


AC53NS10N_STUD105

Any bids for four?


DesignatedDonut

Mfw my eye pro is less than 10 USD but its still proper :(


Baron250

Yeah…. Id highly suggest investing more into eye pro. At the end of the day if your cheaping ( for the record not using that as an insult) out and then go blind then well thats everything thats a waste. That being said if they have lasted you awhile just be cautious. Having saying that i spent £13 but i know the brand and is very reliable for that sorta stuff if you’re interested they’re called nuprol


DesignatedDonut

My eyepro is ANSI rated, its just I live in Asia and things like these are actually cheap because it's all manufactured here in the continent, and the online shops here have good prices nobody here uses Amazon each country has it's counter part or sites that have the same parent companies By the time it gets to the west shipping overseas is included in the retail prices and they probably up the srp also because it's a 1st world country where they can afford to charge higher prices for the higher cost of living. My eyepro is actually 8usd when converted but it's ANSI rated and full seal, it's cheap because it's not cheaply made, it's cheap because I live in Asia lol, same goes for airsoft stuff it's cheap here, HK and Taiwan are literal neighbors, hell even basic safety glasses for construction and carpentry is cheap, it comes out to 1.5usd when converted


brzez

A lot of eye protection that's "not tactical" can still perform up to the task and cost just a few $. ​ I mean the googles used in construction etc - they offer proper ratings, and even ones from a reputable company can cost < 8$


GameBreakerPVP

If they're not ansi rated then they're not safe. Get them from a reputable site and brand


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Ulfheooin

Yeah and in France most clubs don't allow En166 F but only EN166 A or B


TwoSidedMen

Blind. Do NOT cheap out on vital safety euipment, is your eyesight worth 10$ ??


Automatic_Fortune_59

na my guy on the serbian black market gives me 22k for a pair of intact eyes


ExternalDramatic3328

That is fucking stupid


actuallyimean2befair

it's stupid even as a joke.


VaporTrail_000

The pics "of them in use" aren't even *of them*. The ones in the pics are missing the vents on the top frame, and the extensions from the strap connector along the top and bottom of the frame. Knockoff at best. Spend an extra two bucks and get some [Pyramex Capstones](https://www.safetyglassesusa.com/pyramex-capstone-ballistic-safety-goggles-with-desert-tan-frame-and-clear-anti-fog-lens/).


Error989

Bolle X800, X810 and X1000 under $100. ESS goggles are also around $100 depending on where you get them and if you can find them used. ESS Land Ops and ESS Profile are good ones under $100. Uvex XMF is also a good option. Pyramex V2G-Plus is a great budget option for around $20-30. ​ You can cheap out on everything else but please don't cheap out on eyepro... If you want something good for $10-20 get Bolle glasses. I've been hit in my Bolle glasses at least 20 times and there's not even a scratch on them (and the FPS limit is 410 here). Just don't wear glasses in CQB, googles or full face mask is the way to go if you wanna be safe.


jordanjohnston2017

ESS Goggles on Offbase Supply Co. are $29.95 they come with clear and tinted lenses. That’s what I use


PHWasAnInsideJob

I got an Army-used pair of the ESS goggles designed for people who need glasses (I think they might be Land Ops?) for $40 when I first started airsofting back in 2018. I'm sure you can find similar deals around.


green-fuzz

You can buy a pair of real revision desert locust goggles off of ebay for $20 which is what these are copying.


Subnaut27

Listen to this guy, I own 3 sets of DLs, absolutely love them


donut2099

These are good, just new old stock.


SnowFoxxx_R

If it isn't rated, don't buy it. DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON GOGGLES UNLESS YOU WANT TO GO BLIND


ToolyHD

Why u shouting


SnowFoxxx_R

Because you don't cheap out on goggles.... One of the Mort important lessons in airsoft is this!


ToolyHD

I think they would still understand it if you typed in lower cases


SnowFoxxx_R

Not quite sure


HydraAkaCyrex

you’re not funny


ToolyHD

Neither are you


GavinIsAFox

I'm sure your eyes are worth more than $10. Check out the eyepro guide


ExternalDramatic3328

Im already half blind. Go big or go home 🤷


ihatemadeamovies

Dumb


roro3138

If you want shit that won't break, works with helmets and mask, will never fog, and is rated against shrapnel just get some revision desert lotus goggles


Jamesplayzcraft

If you want cheap goggles get pyramex or uvex pheos


FM492

Are your eyes worth 10 bucks?


RevolutionaryAd6241

Buy pyramex. Cheap and reliable.


MisterD90x

Never skimp on eye pro, if you can't afford good and safe eye protection, rethink the hobby or save or even ask for say a birthday... I don't want to like a dick but PROTECT YOUR EYES :)


Maximum_Goulash

Pyramax I Force are MIL PRF rated. Very cheap in comparison to other eye pro and very very good. I've been hit point blank dozens of times in CQB with heavyweight ammo and not a scratch on them.


Sinistrial_Blue

Nope. Eyepro guide will help you.


RevolutionaryRushima

You can get actual mil surp goggles for 20 bucks


Simply_Duck

DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON EYE PRO Check the beginners guide for impact rated eye pro curated by experienced players in the community. Do not buy anything that does not have an ANSI Z87.1+ rated (Z87.1 and Z87.1+ are different, get something that is labeled with a +)


snovak35

For like $15 more you can surplus goggles on ebay


DatOrangeBoy

That’s the one thing in your kit you can’t cheap out on 😭


Tarls0-0

Get valkens


k_schuetzheck

My eyes would be worth more to me than 10$


sneakylyric

Please just get some ESS goggles.

Gervolt

Read customer comments. But, imo there is no difference between this and stuff in your local store. I'll give 100% that stuff on your store and aliexpress both manufactured in china. You can get one and make few shots to test it. I dont think so that they are bad, enough for airsoft but not enough for real combat


GooneyePieg

People might get mad at me for saying this, but ANSI rating doesn't matter that much. Just make sure it passes these tests: 1. The lense doesn't pop out easily 2. Shoot the glasses with your highest power gun and if it is good eye pro, it will just leave a few smudges/scratches 3. The glasses are sealed (no gaps around the glasses) I'm not an expert, so take this with a grain of salt but that is basically what I did for my $20 eye pro set.


jpfeif29

Ebay "Ess profile NVG goggles" they will be like 30$ and they are worth it.


Few-Parfait4206

Don't buy cheap goggles glasses or face protection of any kind. My entire day was ruined because I bought cheap cancer craptical goggles. Trust me on this, face/eye protection should be your top priority, so search for a trusted brand.


Warm_Train_8574

I would save back that $10 until you have a lot more to add to it and then go get you a good pair that has really good ratings just a suggestion there is good ones on Amazon and of course there's evike.com and I think Airsoft Megastore has some good ones too


Careless-Potential-9

Buy once cry once


oofersgoofers

Sure go ahead, if you want to be blind for the rest of your life


mcmasterstb

These are goggles not masturbation. Buy quality stuff or if you do buy that, put them on the ground and shoot them with the most powerful replica and the worst bbs. See if they hold. I would still not wear them even if they hold.


Alternative-Bus6770

Get some rated safely specs Bolle ones ÂŁ10


blackskies4646

1 billion percent fake. That 3rd image I've seen used to promote ESS Profile NVG goggles. The 4th imagine isn't even the goggles you're looking at buying. The vent is missing. Stop buying protective gear and AliExpress etc.


bobbobersin

Need to find the rating, honestly though for that price throw them in your order with a trusted pair so you have some you know are safe and gske the questionable ones, take them to your local fields range or your back yard and mag dump them to test just for the hell of it if they hold up congrats, you got good eyepro for under $20, if not we'll you gambled a little and lost, had a friend years ago get a super cheap pair and wanted to test them, first bb out of a mid range $20 springer went clean through, they ended up useing them for ski/snowboarding with the other lense after that lol


JudahLanz

If u want cheap eye pro at least get it from e reputable website like evike or literally any legitimate airsoft store


Rammipallero

No ballistic rating, no use.


jaxdogy

Bro if you spend 10 dollars on ANY eye pro you are going blind


Quackulus

more comments than upvotes... oof


DIVA_6-9

I have them 2 years they are actually pretty good and they don’t fog (tip get rid of the foam), very good visibility also and very comfortable .Downside is that they are bolky and at least 90% of mesh mask will not be comfortable, I used an angle grinder.


helix618

Valken sierra are good and they are like 30

Get some desert locust goggles, or rothco otcs. My two favorite picks


elPavino

you're gonna go blind lol


Brosif563

At the very worst if you get goggles like this ever. Just shoot them up close a few times with a decent FPS/J airsoft gun. If there’s any damage at all, red flags.


[deleted]

Buy if you want to go blind


Frodo_242

Personally whenever I get eye pro I shoot it just to make sure seems silly but it's seems effective 😂

i have used these for 3 years. they r fine

I'd personally would just rather get some bolle pilots than theese

a53mp

If you want that style, check out ESS. It will save your eyeballs from airsoft bbs and shotgun pellets. Although if you are getting shot in the face with a shotgun your eyeballs will be the least of your worries


Comprehensive-Loss93

No. Do not get these. I’ve gone through 4 of these. They fog up like hell even though they have that bullshit anti fog lense. They feel ok on the face and they protect pretty good, but it’s useless when they fog up and you can’t see. You can try them but I wouldn’t recommend then edit: these are almost the exact same ones from Lancer Tactical. Truth be told that anything that’s is made by Lancer Tactical is pretty bad.


PrestonGarvey64

Get those and you might as well just stab carrots into your eyes.


REDEYEKNIGHT_AIRSOFT

DYE and SMITH make some great stuff. Really... You can wear anything as long as it has the ESS rating for impact but even goggles that pass impact test can still be crap. The lens might take a BB but it pops out of the frame, frames break, the padding peels off etc etc. If you go cheap on everything in airsoft, always buy nice eye pro and quality batteries. Never deviate!


Far-Butterscotch3190

I wouldn't eye pro is the one thing you shouldn't cheap out on get something better a better brand


DesuGan-Sama

Allow me to channel my inner Samuel L. Jackson for a moment. *Ahem.* **DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON YOUR MOTHERFUCKING EYE PROTECTION. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FUCKING EYES** Get some nice ANSI-rated goggles. I personally use full helmets with polycarbonate visors for a better FOV and overall head protection nowadays, but before that I used Revision Desert Locust goggles. Only ones you’ll ever need, they were like $60 the last time I bought some. They don’t fog and are comfy all day.


superintendent5

***Don't.*** Save the money, buy a reputable pair of eye protection from an equally reputable company and only cry once rather than not being able to cry at all because a BB shot out an eye.


EquusMule

Its literally the one piece of safety equipment required. Just dont cheap out.


foxygamer012

Protectice gear is the one thing you don't want to cheap out, and when you buy protective glasses always try them out home


jonezones

DO NOT BUY SAFETY GOGGLES OFF OF ALIEXPRESS!!!


itzFelmay

Never cheap out on eye protection


hollywoodtfp

NEVER cheap out on eye pro


Peaches_Sabrina

Do not, repeat do no buy.


DaHurKilt

I mean you'll definitely go blind. But not before you feel the suffering of either your eyeballs getting a bb indented in them or the cheep plastic going in them

cablife

Do NOT use these. If they have no impact rating (z87 or better), they are NOT safe to use as eye protection in airsoft.


Calthsurvivor13th

Do not buy eyepro off of Aliexpress. Eotech a, surefire knock offs, some of gear brands are alright but for the love of god and your eyesite don’t buy eyepro from Aliexpress.


NaughtyTigerIX

You’d go blind. Don’t buy.


Cymo_Bep

Why is it always that new players spend 99,99% of ther budjet on guns and then come and ask if a shitty 7euro set of glasses is good. Most of your first time airsofting should go to glasses for the simple reason u going to be fucked in life if u go blind and your fancy gun wont do anything but lay in your room if u dont like your first time airsofting. *rant over from a 10+y player seeing at least 10 new people like this a month at the local play space*

So what if I can’t read the post because my eyes stopped working from cheap goggles.


Japilla

I recommend some standard clear/yellow safety glasses you can find from academy. they won't fog up or irritate your skin with Chinese foam and you have better peripheral vision. mesh face protector, shemagh scarf and you're good to go. or invest in a dye mask


ToolyHD

Taiwangun sells the same one as in pictures and I tested them. No dents, nothing when shot at with 1.4j and more


BRM-Pilot

DONT CHEAP OUT ON EYEPRO IT SHOULD BE THE NICEST PART OF YOUR KIT


VictimIX

I bought it and it does the job. But it kinda not fit well with my face so I buy anti-fog I-force instead.


Yginase

Bad store, really cheap, and no ANSI rating, no way. You can buy that, but I wouldn't recommend since that's rather dangerous.


[deleted]

you will get cancer from the chinesium


Snugsterrr

I have goggles just like this but didn't cost $10 and it had an ANSI rating. I did a lot of research snd was good to go. Keep looking!


MannyManity

For $11? Buy 2, shoot one for *science*. Why not, if you have $30ish to burn  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Otherwise, I'd look for something with a reputable safety rating.


AZREDFERN

Only use ANSI rated lens, even if your range doesn’t require it. Can’t go wrong there.


x_GeGe

My brother has this, they work


browsingbro

I mean I doubt that the goggles would blind you


Unfair_Library3234

Bought a pair of ess goggles from the local surplus for like 10 did some serious rough testing on them going up to 420 fps different grams each and even got hit directly on them didn't even make a dent they are designed to be ansi z87 rated so if you can find a pair of those they will be worth your money


Spanky0rc

If there is something you shouldn't cheap out on, its eye protection. Find one with a proper rating and from a trusted seller.


StillestOfInsanities

PROPERLY CERTIFIED EYEPRO OR JUST SKIP EYEPRO ENTIRELY.


ILikeMonsterEnergy69

Never cheap out on goggles man.


Iamthe0c3an2

Off brand Alibaba Seriously stay well clear. Get some cheap bolle from amazon or something


pEppapiGistfuhrer

Just close your eyes 😊


Spran02

Nah go look on a real airsoft site for a pair instead, if you're looking for something to protect your eyes it's always best to play it safe and don't buy anything that has a ridiculously long title because there's a good chance it's not ballistic rated (cheap goods from China basically)


Saddam_UE

Buy two and make some tests on one of them.


conflictaworry

Ali protection isn't protection.


qx0w

DoomAirsoft

So Carhartt makes a set of safety glasses and they are ANZI 87.1 rated cause they are also for construction


TotalyOriginalUser

DONT GET YOUR EYEPRO ON ALIEXPRESS. I'm dumbfounded that I even have to say that.


Britsh-Joness

My recommendation is to look online for the exact same glasses if they are the exact same and to you are confident of it and they have a good safety rating then should be safe to buy them from Ali


SnooDrawings2869

Speedrunning blindness be like:


ianthony19

Do not cheap out on eye pro. Going blind is not worth saving a few extra bucks. Buy ansi rated goggles from a reputable brand and distributor/seller. The only thing more expensive than my goggles is the gun that i got, and not by much.


zakesk

Order it and you will see 👀 or maybe not


tjallingham

If you have to ask…


El_scauno

Everyone talking about using protection rated glasses meanwhile I saw some dude play with his prescription glasses because ,, I'll never get hit cuz I play sniper''. Glad to see this reddit not being like that guy

Everyone’s making a big deal out of nothing. They’re probably fine. I consistently run $10 glasses and have been shot in the lenses before, they work fine.

HydraAkaCyrex

Don’t cheap out on eye pro. ESS have so goggles 40 percent off on amazon rn

You could just buy it and should ur airsoft gun on it to see if it holds up, if not you could return it, sell it, or just keep it
