Ive tried JT's, ESS NVG Profiles (with and without inserts), Mesh, swimming goggle style (forget what they are called) and CF Issues.

JT's permafogged on the first day (i know alot of people had good results, but this was mine)

ESS NVG Profiles work fine, but glasses + inserts inside the ESS's fog constantly making them effectively useless for me.

Swimming Goggle style doesnt let your eyes breathe, makes em uncomfortable for longer games.

Ive had good results with mesh, of course you have to ensure no bio bb's are being used on the field. I also highly recommend you remove the stock foam and replace it with something much higher quality.

CF Sawflys are my fav. When possible, i use em over any other eye protection. I have a fairly wide face, so chances of rounds hitting from behind or sides is pretty much nil. In addition to that, if im wearing my ghillies, the hood and scope pretty much cover about a 240 degree angle, covering any of the alleged "weak spots".

Ultimately, the goggle rules are up to the field owner, saying that some field owners are "paranoid" and require Paintball goggles or w/e is pretty dumb. Its the field owner's neck on the line, and not everyone will take the same risks as others. Not all fields have a good solid playerbase of people who know each other well enough to take those risks etc. After all, its HIS property, HIS liability and HIS insurance thats on the line, not yours. Complaining about it just makes you sound like an ass.
