Best Airsoft Masks & Eye Protection (UK, 2026)

Eye protection is the one bit of kit you must never take off on the field. These are the glasses, goggles and masks we recommend. All in stock now and ready to collect.

What to look for

• Eye protection must be impact-rated. Look for ANSI Z87.1 or EN166 ratings. Most UK sites don’t allow mesh eye protection.
• Glasses vs goggles: glasses are cooler and lighter. Goggles seal better and are often required for under-18s.
• Lower face masks protect your teeth and are required at many CQB sites.
• Anti-fog: vented goggles and anti-fog lenses make a huge difference in winter.

Questions we get asked

Can I use mesh goggles? Most UK sites don’t allow mesh eye protection because BB fragments can get through. Use rated glasses or goggles.

Do I need a face mask? Under-18s usually must wear full face protection. At CQB sites a lower face mask is often required for everyone.
