SSPKali Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 After a pair of safety rated shooting glasses for airsoft use. I tried a pair of Bloc Lynx and found that they sat very high on my nose but more worryingly there was a BIG gap at the side / side of the cheek. Does anyone with a narrow face have any recommendations? Preferably available with interchangeable lenses.
acrxil Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 I had a pair of bloc glasses, have you tried stretching the nose bridge so it sits lower on your nose?
RostokMcSpoons Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Narrow face, you say....? You made me hide behind the sofa, so many times! And... You have no ears, glasses won't work, better get goggles Rogerborg, SSPKali and Shamal 3
Dan Robinson Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Not sure if I class as having a narrow head, but I have used these for a while and they are a snug fit with excellent antifog. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353954229136 Lenses are not interchangeable, but they do different types.

They're only rated to 0.86 J. Not sure I'd be recommending them for airsoft. Colin Allen, TobiasC95, Cannonfodder and 1 other 3 1

Dan Robinson Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Ooohhh. They must be a different set to my last pair... Thanks for the heads up. Lozart 1
SSPKali Posted May 29, 2023 Author Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) I ended up trying some Bolle Cobra glasses - almost 2 hours grading in the heat and no fogging and close fit all round my face. Ended up with a great, yellow and HD clear pair along with storage bags and anti-fog cloth for less than the Blocs. Rated to 0.86g at 120m/s = over 6J so should be fine for airsoft ? Not as tacticool but I'll survive Edited May 30, 2023 by SSPKali Autocorrected Bolle
Shamal Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 Do you mean Bolle cobra glasses? Hope I'm not being too forward but you say you had no fogging issues but how much do you sweat? ? Regards Dan Robinson 1
Cannonfodder Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 If you do start getting issues with fogging give this stuff a try. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ek-123625-Cat-Crap-Anti-Fog/dp/B002ZNA488/ref=dp_prsubs_sccl_1/258-1609256-6450823?pd_rd_w=MEBac&content-id=amzn1.sym.be8bfb0b-71c2-49e5-8313-71fb505e1622&pf_rd_p=be8bfb0b-71c2-49e5-8313-71fb505e1622&pf_rd_r=SNW0WXBH7004NQZGXJSB&pd_rd_wg=WBzdh&pd_rd_r=069d3fe7-f415-4d79-ab51-902c98f336db&pd_rd_i=B002ZNA488&psc=1

RostokMcSpoons Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Dan, if we're both at spec ops next week I'll lend you my old pair of Ess goggles. I didn't fog up at all yesterday in spite of getting hot and sweaty. See how you get on with them I know someone else has said they wouldn't use them because of the gaps at the ventilation holes, but looking at people wearing glasses yesterday I was struck by how poorly many of them fit to the face, so it seems an odd thing to worry about on my goggles. (The holes aren't big enough to let a BB through) Edited May 30, 2023 by RostokMcSpoons Dan Robinson 1
