can motorcycle goggles work for eye protection in a paintball war?
it just came up in 3rd period at school one day and everyone i asked said i could use my motorcycle goggles for paintball. i don’t know if its true or not so some one please help me before i make a stupid decision by waring them.
its not sufficiant protection, especially when you can buy a 20 dollar set of paintball approved goggles at your local walmart or dicks sporting goods

Well, it would give good EYE protection, (depending on brand. some would suck) but no face protection, and trust me, getting hit in the face isnt fun. Also, this will only work for a backyard or park game. NO, let me repeat NO field will EVER let you play with them. Not even a disreputable one, because of insurance. So basically, even if you are cheap, still get a mask. (thermal is best)

no you have to wear aproved googles at any organized place. They would probably shatter if you got shot point blank. Also you would need some to protect your face. My buddy got shot under his bottom lip and his teeth went straight through his lip

Nope… got with a goggle system made specifically for paintball. Some of the cheaper models include the Tippmann 420 and Vforce Armor line…

NO you need face protection at any field. Make sure you don’t buy a POS that fogs like crazy and is uncomfortable. A thermal lens is preferred to help against fogging. Best masks for the money are JT Proflex, Proto Axis, and VForce Grill
