This is true. While I myself would only wear goggles designed and approved for paintball use, the idea Merc has is just that, an idea. If some new product spins off from this thread and becomes the prototype of a brand new breed of paintball goggles (it might happen), then it's benefited the whole paintball community.

That being said, under no circumstances should anyone take to the field wearing anything less than safety tested and approved head protection. To do so is to take your life in your hands, and quite stupid to boot.

To speculate is one thing. To put looking cool or different, before your own personal safety qualifies you for an automatic nomination for the Darwin Awards.

Don't be a Darwin.
