More than 70% of all sensory input we receive is through our eyes. In serious situations, even a slight hindrance in this regard can cause a fatal result. That is why we need tactical goggles that will protect both our eyes and eyesight from anything that might damage or diminish it. For controlled situations, we might opt to use lighter and arguably more comfortable tactical sunglasses, but if there is a lot of glare, debris, and dust, we need to have complete eye covering. Tactical ballistic goggles are necessary when operating any machinery, for terrestrial mobile units, as well as machine-gunner squads. A good pair of tactical goggles should:
  1. Have a ballistic eyewear designation MIL-PRF-31013
  2. Protect from UVA, UVB, and UVC rays
  3. Prevent glare and flair reflection
  4. Do not fog or take in dust
Additionally, good goggles should also be as comfortable as possible. Having an adjustable strap that will keep the eyewear tight without squishing your face is usually the best option. Keeping the lenses dustproof and fog -proof means that they need to be airtight to some degree, which will cause discomfort after a few hours of wear. But, hopefully, your mission will finish by then. If you want to buy good tactical goggles, you will need to weigh your needs with what is for sale. The best price will not always bring the best value, and this is your eyes we’re talking about.

How to Choose Tactical Goggles?

Your best tactical goggles need to be adjusted to your mission. While in some cases you will search for as much debris protection as possible, in others glare will be a much more important issue. Your primary concern at all times should be your visibility angle and how much of your FOV will be obstructed by the goggles themselves. In ideal conditions, you will want to have at least 150 degrees angle without turning your head. While more is always better, at some point the safety of the goggles is diminished by the curvature of the lens. Trading visibility for security may be beneficial for some missions, but detrimental for others. Additionally, if you are a police officer on regular duty, or simply on patrol, you may prefer to go with much lighter ballistic glasses and not ballistic goggles. While good goggles can be comfortable, they are not as easy to get on and off as you would with spectacles. Once you know you can see a lot, make certain that you will be able to see your target well. Use lenses that will adapt to your circumstances and let through as much or little light as you need. Ideally, you will want to be able to add or remove shades from the front in case this situation changes.

Do Military Members Wear Specific Goggles?

Yes, while the civilian standard for ballistic eyewear in the US is subject to ANSI Z87.1-2010 standard, military goggles use the MIL-PRF-31013 standard. Additionally, there is the European standard, as well as one used by NATO that has a 32432 designation. Even though tactical goggles are not made with anticipation that someone will hit you in the eye with a handgun round, they are made to be bulletproof to a point. The US army requires goggles to withstand a .22cal round to get certified. This test is mostly to ensure that flying debris and small shrapnel won’t be able to break the eyewear and disable the wearer. Finally, unlike civilian models, there is a requirement for military tactical goggles not to be colorful or distracting, as that may lower the combat capability of the wearer. So, no reflective lenses are allowed.

Tactical Goggles vs. Tactical Sunglasses

While they have similar lenses, there are huge operational differences between spectacles and goggles for tactical purposes.  Goggles are made primarily to protect the wearer from anything the enemy might throw at their eyes. Tactical sunglasses, on the other hand, are made for safety against flying debris during training and patrol. In most situations, this is to prevent expended rounds from flying back into the shooter's eyes and disabling them. Finally, goggles are also meant to protect against dust and multi-directional wind, which is something simple sunglasses are unable to accomplish.
