AIRSOFT D.I.Y. Mesh Goggles
Filed Under Hobby
WARNING: Use of DIY Mesh Goggles are no longer recommended. This mesh google will not stand a 450fps bb fired at point-blank. Take note that the post is created in September of 2005. That’s the time of first generation of All-China-Made airsoft guns like DEM83 and BE Steyr Aug.
This one is for my fellow airsofters.
I’m sure some of you may have experienced playing on a very humid environment.
I’ve been in several games myself and it’s an awful experience playing with your vision blocked by moist. I even bought an ‘anti-moist’ goggles but on extreme conditions moist still appears on the lens so I thought a wire-mesh goggles mustbe great. However, vader mask is a bit pricey
After seeing the 120kph’s modified Peels, I immediately thought of doing the same thing on my own PEELS goggles.
Hmnnn… enough for an introduction crap. Let’s make our hands dirty. Here’s how I changed my lowly PEELS googles
into something like this..
Here’s the materials to use.
1. PEELS Goggles (or any other goggles with lens)
2. Wire Cutter
3. Mesh Wires (I used a garbage can)
4. Flat Black Spray Paint (I used RJ Adhesive Paint –Dull Black)
5. Marker
Here’s the steps:
1. Remove the lens from the frame to use as a pattern.
2. Using the cutter, cut through the garbase can tracing the pattern created.
Make sure that the lens and the cut-out is of the same size.
3. Spray the cut-out mesh with the paint and insert into the frame
4. Spray the whole goggles with the paint to make the color uniform.
5. Be proud of yourself, you have just done it!
6. Pack your goggles and sell it. haha!
Here’s the cost:
1. PEELS Goggles = PHP180.00
2. Wire Cutter = Free
3. Trash Can = PHP230.00 (since you can make six screens per can, that would be PHP38.30)
4. RJ Adhesive Spray Paint = PHP129.40 (you can reuse this.. good for 6 so, 25.60)
5. Marker=FREE
Total : PHP243.9
Finished product sells at PHP400.00

bro your a life saver! when my contact ripped recently (non airsoft related) i was forced to return to my eyeglasses. This causes fogging inside my goggles even with a fan running! Mesh solves all that! thanks!

guys before you do this……check out http://acmgames.proboards66.com look for the incident in baghdad eastwood libis philippines…..”d.i.y - goggles made a person blind…1st of all trash mesh are not tested in gas guns….-” read the articles…
if ever…remove this D.I.Y…its not safe…..to protect fellow airsofter.. thnks

shiznit, i tried this too before and didn\’t have any problem. You must also take note that this article is circa DEM83/BE Steyr Aug days… the good old ACM days when 280fps is already considered powerful.
but even then, the trash can that can be bought in ACE hardware is of good quality. it doesn\’t break easily. The 380fps JG G36C can hardly make a dent.
But then again, it is still not recommended to use this in an open fps environment. I\’m using a sensei mask now but still have WorkSafe glasses inside.
