Lense replacement

[JamesFitzy]

Right... first time i tried putting this thread up it didnt work, so really sorry if I've gone and put two up...

Got a tempory mask (a JT elite somthing) and i think the lende might be needing replacement as it has a ring of what look like mini cracks (yet still a smooth lense) as I managed to get goggled last game

And has quite a few little scratches on it, just wondering how much of a safty risk is it? now im only going to be getting my new goggles the week after the next day of paintball I have planned (being 14 and on a paper round goggles wind up pricy)

I could however get a new lense from justpaintball for a few quid but I wanted to check before throwing a few quid that I'd rather spend on paint on a new lense that i dont really need for just one day.

Thanks --James--

if i were you i would.
usualy the warning messages on goggles state that if you get shot less than 10 feet directly on your lense you should replace it.

If in doubt, change them. Don't play around with THE only important bit of kit that you have.

Thanks guys, quick replys to

Im a little miffed about having to spend a few quid out of the funds for new goggles but then again I think my eyesight is more important wanting to join the RAF and all...

i was about too post one similar too this.

i have a pair of JT Proflex. and since last training i got gogged once from about 40 meters away and the lense has a few little cracks around the nose area.
i thought the lenses were meant too be neigh unbreakable?

Nah, i work at a paintball site and the Goggles get checked in the morning, and before every game and you would be surprised how often lenses need changing.

o and to answer your question.... yer spend the few quid and get some lenses or alternatively, if its a site that supply goggles use them.
