At any rate, I ponied up for the house-brand goggles they were offering, and I can tell you that they aren't even "paintball approved". How do I know? There is a sticker you need to peel off the lens to use them. It says the following:
"For Airsoft ONLY"

yet again it comes down to their insurance provider.
an insurance company will not give them coverage if the parties involved will not appeal by their standards, now that means paintball brand goggles. if you have such an issue with this go to airsoft only fields. otherwise bite the bullet and pony up the 20$+ I have 3 pairs of goggles ballistic, repro, and paintball
