What to Look for in a Pair of Airsoft Goggles

Fit and rating come first. A full-seal goggle should sit flush against your face with no gaps at the brow or cheek, that's where BBs sneak through on lower-quality gear. Beyond that, look at lens options. The BSX Tango ships with multiple thermal lenses so you're not stuck squinting through a tinted lens on an overcast day or a clear one at dusk.

Stop Your Goggles From Fogging Up

Sealed goggles trap warm breath and body heat right against the lens, which is exactly what fogs them up mid-game. A fan system like EXFOG mounts to your goggles and moves air across the lens to keep it clear. See our full lineup of anti-fog accessories.

Keeping Your Airsfot Goggles On Your Helmet

Run goggles with a helmet and you need a strap that routes over or under the shell without slipping. Loosen the strap fully before you put the helmet on, seat the goggles, then tighten. If they still shift during a game, the strap is riding on the helmet's edge instead of the padding underneath, reroute it lower.

FAQ

What should I look for in a pair of airsoft goggles?

Look for goggles built and tested for high-velocity impact, not just basic dust and debris protection. If a pair doesn't say it's rated to stop a projectile at airsoft speeds, skip it no matter how tough the lens looks.

Can I use paintball goggles for airsoft?

Check the rating before you do. A lot of paintball goggles are vented or mesh-heavy and built for a bigger, slower paintball, not a BB at closer range. If they don't specifically list airsoft-rated impact protection, get a pair that does.

How do I clean or fix scratched goggles?

Wipe lenses with a microfiber cloth and a lens-safe cleaner, never a dry cloth or paper towel, both can grind grit into the coating. Light scratches you can buff out with a plastic polish made for goggle lenses. Deep scratches mean it's time to replace the lens, a scratched lens scatters light and hurts your visibility more than you'd think.

How do I stop my goggles from fogging up?

Mount a fan system like EXFOG to your goggles. It moves air across the lens continuously, which clears fog faster than any spray can and keeps it from coming back mid-game.
