You get an A for Awesome Dad in Dadology. Good job, sir!

If there was an airsoft company who started making goggles/mesh mask combo like that, they sell like hot cakes.

Anyone else extremely distracted by the huge purple welt on his finger? 😂

You're an awesome dad

People who keep saying "you should have just gotten him a full face mask". Not sure if you're talking about full face mesh mask or paintball mask but If you've ever worn a paintball mask theres not much ventilation so during the spring/summer its miserable having something keeping your hot breath in. Not to mention how easy it is to fog the lenses up on a full face mask. -Moose

Dad of the year award goes tooooooo......

Great video man, I have been trying to figure out the best method of going about this. Thank you! Also, I must say as an airsofter and a new Dad (5mo) I think it's really cool the way you get involved with your sons hobbies. 10 points for being a good dad.

Haha best dad ever!

next project is to attach goggles/mesh to the helmet/coms as one unit

I know it costs more but ESS goggles actually comes with a insert to put RX glasses in them...just need to go to your local eye doctor and give them the insert and they will get a set made for the goggles.

Worlds greatest Dad! thumbs up!

Nice to see a problem solver ! Good job with the protection to the whole face . I work as a lens manufacturer and would like to suggest that you can use contact lenses to solve the problem off the boys glasses getting in the way as an alternative. Good luck and keep at the good jobb !

He was quick to defend those flags. Good for him. You're raising a good man.

The safety factor of that mod is such a necessity. But spending that time with Micro Ninja is priceless. Great job sir.

Micro is one of the main reasons that I play. It is something that we can share and both love.

The boy's giggle at the end is what us dad's get as a reward. Priceless

i did a similar mod to my Mesh mask if you are having trouble getting the stretchy edge part off i used a Hair dryer to melt the hot glue

my issue isnt glasses fitting into my goggles. its my glasses fogging up while my goggles remain (mostly) clear

I don't think they should be ashamed to say "best dad ever". They are not being unappreciative of their parents hard work. I think they just recognize and appreciate a father that spends time with his child.

Tactical bike helmet lol

wow im impressed and im happy thats there are fathers like you out there that will take time from their day to ensure their sons saftey out on the field

mesh mask :good mesh goggles:bad

Let's just take a moment to realize how great of a dad you are for doing that. Loved the vid btw, im gonna do this if i get a mesh.

Using a dremel tool might be better and easier to cut it with. and faster

The problems that micro ninja has in the video are the EXACT same problems that I have and this video really helped me thank you

I have to give you props on the idea. Have a few younger players at the field that are struggling a bit with this same thing. Will be offering same service idea to them.

10/10 dad Airsoft dads everywhere should look up to you.

Lol im 26 and play airsoft this vid was super informative and tell ur son hes lucky to have a cool supportive dad..seriously

Dad of the Decade award goes to this guy right here

Why don't you use the Revision RX inserts for him so that he doesn't have to wear glasses underneath the goggles?

You don't need fancy equipment to be a good team. You need three things, Movement, Communication, and Team Work. I am working on a video series on How to Play Airsoft. I played a game of 1v7 the large team have full auto guns and I had a training knife, a spring pistol and two mags. I had to play very smartly. I didn't expect to win but I never gave up. I was the last man standing and still had a mag left when it was all over.

Dad of the year award goes to this guy

Some parents dont let there kids play airsoft or paintball. This parent makes sure he does it safe. Good job dude. My mask fits great now btw thnx.

I only paintball, but from a paintball player to an airsoft player. That mask is dope.

I have the inserts, then instead of getting glass lenses fitted to the removable plastic frames, I just took the arms of an old pair and put them in instead, little dab of hot glue and all done. The mesh mask looks great, well done.

This is the best airsoft safety product modification video I have seen. I have added your channel to the list of favorite KZfaq channels on my airsoft medicine channel. Thank you for sharing this on my Facebook page. Please be sure to post any additional airsoft safety-related videos on my Facebook.

Seems like a good dad. Wants to protect his kiddo. I can respect that :)

Revision sells prescription inserts that fit into the notches on the inside of the Desert Locust. You can take those to any optometrist and they can make a pair of lenses to his prescription.

I have to say, your a pretty dedicated dad, props to you.

I tried and tried to get my goggles and mask comfortable on my face. My mesh was always too low or my goggles rode up and both were uncomfortable. I fitted the mesh and goggles together and found that the two attached together fit perfectly and more importantly comfortably. No cutting into or crushing the nose and the goggles weren't pushed up with the mesh strap squeezing the face. I didn't even have to cut the mesh. A perfect fit.

ESS goggles work really well with glasses. They make them with that idea in mind and are also ballistic rated to something where it can stop buckshot from point blank.

Thumbs up for a cool dad!

Thats a badass dad for helping him with all that.

Good job with the modification. The finished product looks clean

5:58 Whalter White? Is that you?

I can't even tell you modded them. After hot glueing the material back on, it looks just as clean on the video as the original did. I might have to try that for mine.

Not only is it good protection but, it looks awseome!

i had the exact same problem came up with the same solution about a year ago and i still take it to every game. great video

Revision also sells the Rx mounts and im sure there's a way to fit them in there, even if they aren't for the same model. Im switching to contacts just so I have my full fov in view, but they would probably work well for those goggles. They only recommend you take them to a glasses shop to get the glass fitted in

You should also trim the bottoms so it doesn't restrict neck movement

Hey, I use glasses with revision goggles,First I put the strap on the back of my head and stretch the goggles over, then I bend the goggles around my glasses. This works the best for me, maybe you should try it. The goggles are tight closer to the eyes and then they spread out, which is why I bend the goggles. Also, the frames on my glasses are big so I can see much more on the field. Good luck!

All I gotta say, is thank you! I use the lower face mesh mask because it forms well to my face allowing proper cheek welds (sighting with my cheek against the cheekrest on my rifle). I do custom fit mine to my goggles, however like you I always had the issue of far too many straps. I prefer boonie hats, better for camo (I run DMR a lot and do a lot of crawling, sneaking etc). However two straps on the mask plus the goggles plus the hat was too much. So I got a helmet and attached the goggles to it, and the lower face mask straps to it. So it's all one piece. While a helmet does save me from head welts, it raises my profile one inch (I've been hit several times where I was behind cover but they arched their bb just enough to hit the top 1/4" of my helmet), even though I threw a lot of ghille material on it, the dome shape is much more of a give away then the boonie hat. I've been dying to go back to a boonie set up for a while now, and I think if investing in a 30$ glue can make a set up like this, then it's worth a shot. Happy airsofting!

I am glad to hear that it helped. Good luck getting it together. Take your time while fitting them together. I had to use some small wire to hold them together after the glue failed The hot glue helps keep everything aligned and the wire holds it together.

May not be economically feasible, but I know that the military makes glasses inserts for their goggles and gas masks, you could look into getting a pair made, the people I know who wear them when they shoot have no troubles and they fit perfectly in all the goggles designed for them! I would be shocked if ESS didn't make a pair of goggles that didn't accept the inserts

Could I suggest the single pane Valken tango goggles, they have a piece inside to hold prescription lenses

Looks good, I was having problems with my goggles messing with the lowers, going to have to give this a try. I was having to over lap the goggles over the lower, and that caused them to fit weird and akward.

In the future, a heat gun is _amazing_ for undoing hot glue. Just apply heat to the area until it comes undone. What you're dealing with there is probably high temperature hot glue which is not too terrible at holding things together (I have a friend who does theater costumes and she swears by the stuff), but will easily melt at the temperature a heat gun puts out. I discovered this through an accident involving a helmet I was making out of floor mat foam for cosplay and a second degree burn on my finger.

That's a great setup! I actually run something remarkably similar, the only difference being that I used epoxy. I tried hot glue but it wasn't as durable as I would've hoped for.

Dude, our local airsoft fields require anyone under 18 to wear "full facial protection". I don't like the look of the mesh mask, but it has saved me from a LOT of pain and dentistry.

SELL THESE

Thanks, It took a lot longer than I expected.

It’s like a paintball mask with better comfort and breathability. Very awesome!

This video brought a smile to my face

Being an awesome dad. You're doing it right.

If every kid had a father like you we wouldnt be in the mess we are in today in the world. awesome Job

Thosr actually look really good and professional after the cut, good video

Great job..My son and I are new to airsoft, I bought a mesh mask and did the same modifications as you did. It turn out great. Thanks for the inspiration.

good job dad :D hope your son appreciates the work you put in

Oh Christ I'm so glad to know I'm not the only airsofter who struggles with glasses. Lmao it was interesting watching him have the same problems as me, and being able to relate. He eve puts the goggles on the same way as me, by straightening them out inside the goggles and then placing them upon my face.

Just a friendly tip, the best goggles I have found to wear with glasses are the Arena Flakjak Goggles. They give plenty of room for my glasses and don't smash them up against my head.

Thanks so much airsoftgeek! i got a helmet and goggles just the other week and done this to the mesh mask, works brilliantly! Took your idea step by step just without taking off the mask straps. Great video great help

This video is very helpful cause I’m a girl and I do Airsoft *which means I have a small face compared to the mask* and I’ve been looking for a way to cut my mask and not ruin it and your methods worked perfectly keep up the good work!

revision actually makes a lens insert for their desert locust goggles that mounts on the nose piece inside of the glasses. thats what i usually use when i play.

I haven't really run into this problem before, i have huge and i mean HUGE framed glasses and i wear a mesh face with goggles, maybe its because my goggles have more room, but all i did to fit it was bend it inwards to be more narrow and it works like a charm

Holy molly thank you I have night ops tonight in Bakersfield and I lost my contacts so I have glasses thank you so much I can make this now

Have you tried , the revision RX prescription inserts, they fit into the goggles,you would need to get lenses obviously with your sons prescription, would make them even more comfortable as the glasses then sit away from your face and you don't have glasses legs getting in the road...

dad started beat boxing, kid's like "real tired of your shit"

After watching this I decided to take it upon myself to do something similar. Had 2 masks experimented with one and perfected the other. Thanks for the help.

I can't thank you enough for such a helpful video! I was planning on doing a similar set up for facial protection and worried I would have to go through tons of masks and goggles because I really want those Revision goggle.

what a good dad

What I don't like about those is the heat. I found out tonight though, the padding on Dye goggles works wonders with the wrap-around mesh halfmasks with ear bulges.

Nice work. You can get a revision RX holder with prescription lenses that snap into the goggles for around $70 at opticsplanet.

I can't wait until I get to do stuff like this for my boys.

Thanks for the video bud, I have a helmet the goggles and the mask straps it's an absolute nightmare! I'm going give this a go!!

Great idea, I'm gonna share this on this side of the ocean, so many young guys will benefit from this, think ill do me own mask as well. Thanks.

Nice, I could never get it right. I would always mess up the cut. Keep up the good work!!!

This is a little late, since Micro Ninja has the Revisions already, but Hakkotsu makes a pair of goggles called X-Eye that are huge and will fit over pretty much any glasses.

you did a terrific job, that kid has one awsome dad XD

Good job and well thought out. BTW, Revision does have an RX system that will allow prescription lenses to be mounted inside their goggles. Contact lenses may be a better answer. Good job! I have 2 sets of revisions and they work well, but the face pro mesh mask straps are a pain in the butt.

All you people saying "best dad ever" should be ashamed. Unless your dad is jobless, abusive, drunk 24/7, ignores you, and commits crimes, then he is the best dad ever, to you. You all should appreciate what your dad (or any parent) does for you, whether they take you on trips or spend a lot of money and time on you or not. They go to work every day and keep you alive, that should be enough to praise them, but you're over here saying your parents aren't worth anything just because they don't

My team does this but with the mesh goggles, it looks very sick. Damn you Geek, I really want to do this now. lol

Hope your dad gets better! I am going to do this to mine. They were too big and it will help a lot.

I did at the very end of the video. The glue failed after a while. It did form a good interface to the goggles. I now have 4 wires keeping it on.

when you were beatboxing, he looked at you like my cat looks at me when I make silly noises.

Those particular goggles actually have an available prescription insert which snaps to the inside of them, just on top of the bridge of the goggles' nose. It allows you to see clearly, and without having the irritation that normal glasses cause. All you do is take the insert to Lens Crafters or where ever you get your glasses and have them fit the frame with YOUR prescription. They clip to the INSIDE of the goggles so they are protected from bb's. Plus, the kit is ONLY $20! You sould try'em out.

absolutly a great gun. The hop on the gun is fine, although I would agree with a new inner barrel.

they make inserts for goggles for people who wear glasses and it is there prescription so they can see out of with having glasses under the goggles

This could have helped out quite a bit when my field mandated lower face protection...I still might try it out with my old mesh lower in case I ever decide to get back into CQB

Good job, looks good! And good for you for actually involving yourself in your sons life/hobbies.

I recomend getting him contacts if he has more problems or them fogging. I had that problem where my glassses fogged over and I thought it was the mask.
