Boogie Regulator reviews from customers

The most popular selling Smith Optics Elite eyewear we have now is the new Boogie regulator.  Lots of military personnel have been putting in orders with us for this eyewear and for $40 it really is the best bang for the buck.  We were shocked when we saw the price tag on these because not only are they half the price of regular goggles that are probable more practical to wear for a SWAT Team or a tactical team.  We’ve seen numerous images of Chris Costa and Travis Haley wearing the Smith Optics Elite eyewear and the product line has really taken a strong hold in the tactical and military community.

It always amazes me how certain products we sell crossover to other markets and this piece of ballistic eyewear is one of those products.  We get a lot of Bikers showing up at our doors for boots and footwear but the Smith Optics Elite Boogie regulator googles cross over to anyone on a bike.   The gray lense and ignitor lenses seem to be more popular than the clear but many of the Police that are on motorcycles have been buying them also.  The venting seems to work very well if  you are moving and the ambidextrous adjustments for opening and closing the ventilation are easy to use.

Looing for eyewear but not sure what to buy?

We have been very happy with the Smith Optics Elite eyewear and in 2012 the product line has gotten even better with the low profile googles and our favorite the Boogie Regulator.   I have gone through piles of safety glasses over the years and mostly because they got so scratched up it affected my visibility and interfered with my targeting of things while on the range.  I have had some issues in the past where if I did not have protection I would have been blinded.   There’s nothing like having a 7.62 nato round go off in a magazine 10 inches from your face.   Googles tend to be pretty bulky and there are wide variations in fit and sizing.

If you want an easy fix for a product that has several ways it can be attached to your helmet or head, check out the Smith Optics Elite Boogie Regulator.   This piece of eyewear won’t break the bank and the Boogie Regulator from Smith Optics Elite comes in a gray, clear and ignitor.    There is a lever on each side of the eyewear that opens and closes so you can allow air to move through it and reduce any fogging.   I would consider these to be the best ballistic eyewear to use for new shooters because it’s very secure and not bulky for shooting through rifle scopes.

It’s not all about goggles and glasses

There are many options that are not as bulky as your typical tactical or ballistic goggles.   Some of the ballistic eyewear product lines aren’t that different from each other, other than what part of the Country the person making the purchases gives his or her approval for.   We have people walk in here all the time that are looking for cheap shooting glasses and we have some of those on the wall for $10.  When it comes to serious shooting, though, you want to keep your glasses in a case so they don’t get messed up sooner than they are suppose to.   All gear and accessories will wear out, but the Smith Optics Elite division has a warranty service that will repair your eyewear if you get it scratched or damaged except for the frame.

Right now the biggest rave amongst our eyewear are the boogie regulators.  Everytime we bring up these  Smith Optics Elite eyewear  we hear a wise crack about the boogie, but these fast on and off goggles are getting out amongst our local bike patrols and motorcycle cops.   I’ve tested them out myself and I’m still not sure if I like them more than my Aegis eye shields.  I very much like the newer Aegis eyeshields because the fit is a little tighter even without the head strap.
