Where did you bought your ESS goggles?

[Slide]

Hey guys,

i'm going to buy the ESS goggles with turbo fan and i was wondering if you know some good retailers to buy them (at a good price).

For now the best prices i found are :

Optics Planet 162$ : http://www.opticsplanet.net/ess-prof...n-goggles.html
I have pretty good feedbacks on this website (shipping and services).

Tactical products Canada 144$ : http://tacticalproductscanada.com/pr...php?prodid=331
I don't have any feedbacks about this one...anyone already order something from them?

With the shipping cost (to Montreal) it's around 170/180$, so if you have found a retailer with better prices let me know!

E.mail CP gear. They are Canadian distributor.

As are Seals Action Gear in Calgary and Buyairsoft in Red Deer.

BTW, CP Gear doesn't sell the Turbo fan.

I have replicas available that I've shot with +450fps guns repeatedly (as in an entire 120 round midcap on F/A at point blank range) without issue and they even take ESS replacement lenses.

Thanks guys!

I already have the replicas (from ehobby), i bought them to see if i like that before ordering the real ones (confortable, fit with my helmet)... i don't have fielded them yet, i'll try them next tuesday but honestly, it's just for trying, i don't want to take any risk with my eyes, so if i'm fine with the replicas i'll buy the real ones for more safety.
Does the real ESS lens fit perfectly in your replicas? i read that it doesn't fit so well...

According to Burke, they fit.... Based on some pictures, it probably requires some modding though...

I swapped lenses with my genuine profiles, they fit. You have to work to get them to fit but they do (anybody who has changed profiles lenses knows what i mean) I would feel fine swapping the lenses for ESS standards and going to play. I dont have a high chronoing aeg on hand to test out the lenses.

I bought mine from ESS directly (ICE), and they rapped me by using UPS...

But customer service was prompt.

when you say rape....do you mean like...no-lube violent rape ?

[Boyso]

Well on a 150$ order, they overcharged me 60$ IIRC. And they woke me up at 7 am.

I just wanted to punch that guy.

Hehe, yes the shipping by UPS Saved is very expensive (around 30$), by Optics Planet you can choose to use USPS or UPS Standard ground (16$)... it's the less expensive i have found, but a little more longer.
Tactical products Canada uses Purolator (around 20$ of shipping).

As are Seals Action Gear in Calgary and Buyairsoft in Red Deer.

At Seals action its 215$ without taxes and shipping , buyairsoft is not bad (215$ with the shipping and taxes included) but still more expensive than Optics Planet... I think i'll go with otpic planet. Does anyone know if there are custom taxes on this kind of products ?

Well I learned my lesson.

Never order with UPS.

If you go with Optics Planet, you want to watch out for insane brokerage charges on any carrier other than Canada Post/USPS... I know lots of companies like Fedex and UPS like to charge retarded brokerage charges... (Only for Canada-US Border shipping)

E-mail them, they order everything in ESS catalog at decent prices.

I went out and met the dude at Tactical Products Canada last week looking for a Luminox watch. He's a good guy, and sells nice gear -- boots, watches, knives, BDUs, and ESS glasses. He seems to do a lot of business with the local film crews. If he doesn't have it, he'll order it, and usually marks down below retail. Worth calling him before you place an order.

+1 to these.. I've got a set... stood up to repeatived 500fps cylinder equiped PTW shots

only issue I've ever had with em is the "fragile" wiring (good portion was my own fault however the fixing part was a PITA! )

never ever had them fog on me.... my glasses however...
