Back to [[Airsoft Information]]
== Goggle Basics ==
Paintball-approved eye protection only-- face (tooth) protection recommended-- at paintball facilities (Panther, North Vancouver, Richmond Indoor). Only goggles that provide a sealed space between the outside environment and your eyes protect your eyes from paintballs and BB's.
Most facilities prefer goggles that seal against your face to limit tangential shots intruding into the eye.
== Face Protection ==
Many players have removed or modified the stock face protection on their goggles to allow better aim and limit goggle fogging. Op-For recommends you use some form of face protection to protect your teeth.
(eventually we will put the quotes in wiki format)
