Our eyesight is a most valuable sense, something that should not be taken for granted when playing airsoft, which means that buying adequate eye protection is of utmost importance when kitting yourself out to play on the field. 

With so much choice out there it may seem quite daunting for the beginner who is not sure which brands to trust. Video tests are great ways of finding out how a goggle fairs when shot at. The ideal result is that the BB would not penetrate the goggles at all with little damage to the surface of the lens. SOCOM Gear have taken the test to the extreme by using a 0.22 subsonic and 12 gauge shotgun to shoot at the Arena 2 Goggles. Obviously, we wouldn't advise that you carry out a test like this, but luckily they have done the test already, so you don't need to. Here's the photo of the Arena 2 Goggles after a 0.22 subsonic round.
