you wear paintball goggles because you will often find yourself playing airsoft with paintballers on the field at the same time. a lot of ballers won't know you're with a different group and shoot you or do it on purpose. there are also times when their shots aren't very accurate and stray from their field onto yours. ansi rated goggles are great but are not acceptable when it comes to paint.
you have the impact resistance in the ESS but anything that isn't deemed paintball approved has not been tested to see if paint can penetrate and get into your eyes.

most of the downtown paintball places that host airsoft typically don't allow the 2 groups playing at the same time.
