When we first found out about the Smith Optics Elite boogie regulator, we were shocked at the price point.   $40 for a ballistic optic sounds too low for an optics company that puts out $180 Turbo goggles.  The first experiences I had with them were not great because I immediately had fogging issues, but this really is one of those items that you need to know why it was designed the way it is.   This goggle is designed for people that are constantly on the move, jumpers, airsoft and even bikers love these.   I’ve got lots of biker friends that have told me of all of the stories of people getting hit in the face by debris and ballistic eyewear means as much to them as someone on a firing range.   People that like to “ride” know what I’m talking about and we’ve had several Harley’s parked in front of our store.

We hear references to ESS eyewear, and Wiley X, and Smith Optics are priced way up there but if you understand the venting system on the Smith Optics Elite eyewear this eyewear may be for you and it’s only $40.   I personally have used the Smith Optics Elite boogie regulators playing paintball but most are using them for airsoft.   Even in that business you gotta wear good eyewear but if you aren’t sure what to get, buying online or finding a store near you that stock this product line is a way to get a hold of them unless you know somebody that already has them.  Usually the best way to know if you want something is to ask around and get first hand feedback.
