Hello everyone,

Making my first post and introduction. My name is brandon I am 22 and will be moving back to the lower mainland from calgary (yay) and was hoping to get some airsoft games in! Iv been a long time Paintballer that tried something new (and enjoying it) and I actually have played at maple ridge paintball (as well as worked there for 3 years) since I was 13 and I am happy to see that field being the regualar meet up! (Also makes it great that I will be living 5 mins away by foot ha)

I have read the rules and I do have one question. I do wear a pair of Oakley M frames with the helo insert (creating a full seal around the eyes) and with a head retention band. Are these allowed? I have other eye-pro to wear but prefer these

Thanks and can't wait to start making it out for some games!

Brandon

Welcome back to the best place on earth. The MRP field is great for us, we have a ton of space outside the paintball fields that we use primarily.

The Oakley M frame's with the Helo Kit do satisfy the requirements (Ballistic and sealed), but I wouldn't recommend using them here, with the humidity we get and how low profile they are they will likely fog up like crazy. Of course try them, but I'd recommend bringing a backup set of goggles preferably with a fan system.

Hey Brandon

Look forward to your return the forgotten son.

Now that you're playing the right game with the right weapon. The Oakley ballistic glasses with the insert frame work really well in Calgary and the Okanagan but you will soon find out terrible here on the Wet Coast. :lol:
There are a few people with some sweet ballistic goggles but unfortunately just don't work here :roll:
As Drunken Teddy mentioned bring you old goggles :roll:
