I am hoping to make it out to a couple of game days on sundays but I am unsure if my goggles as acceptable. I hope they are as I have been using them for some time and really dont want to have to buy newer ones as these are working just dandy.

They look like they seal around the face and don't have any holes large enough to allow a BB, they should be acceptable.

Also welcome!

The goggle bears no safety certifications and the Airsoft Safety Foundation has allowed their website to die.

I would recommend against using this goggle for in-game use without certification or independent destructive testing. The lens and frame system has no evidence of successfully protecting a user. This also would fail an insurance investigation, leaving you insuring yourself.

I remember reading somewhere that they are made to handle super high fps bb's at a couple feet away for up to 1500+ BBS. I could not find article regarding their actual specs as their websites no longer work but I was sure they had been certified. Good to see I can continue using them. I like the size if them. The foam is a little itchy but I find most masks are. Great price though.

If they do not have the ansi rating you can not use them.

Thanks, TJF.

I'm still concerned and advise caution, though, because the manufacturer's online documentation doesn't include any mention of an ANSI rating. Also, ANSI ratings partly depend on the frame's performance.

Further, Hitguns sells the goggle and has financial benefit from anyone buying the goggle based on their claims.
