motocross goggles???

Has anyone tried motocross type goggles? Did you have any fogging problems? I'm tired of mesh.

shoot it point blank with your gun(preferably something close to 550fps), if it doesn't crack or shatter it should be ok to use. given the right conditions and enough time the goggles will still fog up which is the drawback with all full seal goggles.

Riding goggles still fog up.
Even when I use them riding, I have to start moving before I can put them on otherwise they fog up right away.

There are ESS goggles with built in fans that run around like $150? But I've seen knock offs for like $30.

I have never had goggles fog up riding, but I'm sure they would playing airsoft.

Goggles don't fog when riding because you have air flowing through, keeping the temperature/humidity inside down. So far the only way I don't have goggles fog on me is when there's something creating that needed air flow (like fan goggles do).

I wore dirt bike goggles for a year or more. And honestly never had a problem with using them for airsoft or riding. Ill find them and tell you the brand and model.*

Go get some safety glasses (or shooting glasses). I wore mine all day this weekend hiking around the hills at Wendyland with 0 fogging issues. If you still have issues, go to Napa and pick up some RainX treatment. Works great.
