Reddit mentions of Revision Military Desert Locust Goggle Basic

I like my Smith Optics OTW Fan goggles. They chew through batteries like crazy (pair of AAA rechargeable every couple hours on high) but they don't fog at all and are quiet. They don't fit quite right as I need asian fit and they don't have that, but they're good enough. They're my go-to right now. I find them comfortable enough to wear for a few hours at a time, they don't fog at all, and they're easy to clean and change the lenses. I've heard of people having issues with the straps breaking but I haven't had that issue. I also don't exactly stretch the straps as they're pretty huge and I don't use them over a helmet.

ESS NVGs worked well as well, but I did have some fogging. They also weren't too comfortable as they also weren't asian fit, but they have that option.

Revision Desert Locusts I've never used but I've heard good things. I've heard they're about as good as ESS, but they do have thermal lenses available to cut down on fogging.

You can find the ESS and Revison on Ebay as surplus for cheap.

For bang for your buck, the Pyramex I-force are awesome. Minimal fogging, very comfortable, comes with glasses and goggle straps. I keep a few pairs in my bag to lend to people. I've used them for probably a year now and loved them. I had one issue with cracking but I've heard that was because I washed them regularly with dish soap, and they got crushed in my suit case. Never had nor heard of issues with bbs cracking them.

Some I didn't like:

ESS Crossbow Suppressor with gasket. I had high hopes for these, and they did not live up to them. Very uncomfortable with the rubber seal (I prefer foam or cloth), fogged very easily, and they got condensation or sweat on the lens.

Save Phace Grunts. They might be the worst I've tried. They don't have an impact rating which made me nervous to start with. Pair that with the incredibly easy scratching, stupid fogging, and somehow ridiculous levels of dirt and I just can not recommend them at all.


Here's some pictures:

ESS NVG with AOR1 kit. Those are some real old pics

Don't have any with the ESS Crossbows. Only had them for a few weeks before selling them.

I’ve seen gaps in goggles all the time becuase the goggles don’t fit the head very well. I don’t thinks it’s good especially since a bbs almost hit your eye. I’ve never seen any gaps in a Dye mask or revision goggles. There is probably more but this is in my experience.

Also the dye mask is the best thing I’ve ever bought in airsoft lol

Yeah. I've seem them a bit cheaper from Revision on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Revision-Military-Desert-Locust-Goggle/dp/B007HKPCMW

Not sure why they are cheaper. Probably don't have all the acessories like bag and different lenses

I heard some people saying they don't work with glasses, for me they are fine.

If they don't fit you can get some of those inserts for lenses https://www.amazon.com/Revision-Military-Prescription-Carrier-Connector/dp/B007FHG2F8

When it comes to eyepro, I would definitely not take any chances. Get yourself something that's proven to be safe. I personally use these and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. I trust my eyes with them 100%.

I have fucking massive frames and they fit over mine. Decently comfortable as well. Here they are. They also make rx inserts for them which is what I am switching to next month instead of wearing my glasses underneath. If you don't want to do these just get a dye i4 as they work really well with glasses.
