Arena Flakjak Goggles and War Gear
Look. You have to use protective eyewear. In semi- and non-permissive environments, you’ll find that there’s a need to cut the risk to your vision by wearing some sort of protective lens.
At the top of my list of approved protective eyewear is Arena Flakjak Goggles. When I am in the turret scanning for IEDs and bad guys these goggles keep the dust, grit, and flying crap out of my eyes when on the move.
As well, the Arena Flakjak Goggles lens system provides ballistic protection when the rounds start flying and the debris related to combat assails your visual senses.
If you’re kicking around and need a pair of bug eyes, these should be near the top of your list. They most certainly have a nesting place on my head when meeting my objectives.

One of the big pet peeves I have with goggles is the fact that they all fog up when you’re active or burning your face off sitting in the turret of your gun truck. Your job as a gunner is to engage bad guys and be a serious lookout for problems. There’s nothing worse than trying to make out a bad guy pointing an AK at you or a fishy looking box on the roadside through a pair of fogged up lenses.
The Arena Flakjak Goggles go a long way in preventing this problem with their top Razorback anti-fog Vents. While I’ve still encountered fogging from time to time, it’s nothing as bad as I’ve had with Oakley goggles I’ve employed in the past either.

I also want to mention their durability. I have sat on these goggles, tossed them around in the vehicle like all my other gears, and left them on the dash all day in the heat of the Iraqi sun and have had no problems beating them through hard use. This is a big score since plenty of other brands have failed in this respect. Arena Flakjak Goggles gets high marks from the field. Check them out!

Bubba – thanks! I hadn’t heard of these but will sure check them out. My use is just mundane motorcycle riding, but nothing sucks like having goggles fog up just when going around a corner and then thinking you see bambi standing in the road!

These goggles also look really damn cool – I know looks don’t mean shit as far as performance goes but it is a nice plus
My brother and I both use these here in Iraq, great goggles, great company

Loved the Flakjaks since I acquired a couple at the time for a “quarter price” deal. They did prove to be efficient and rugged.
Never had the chance to try the Mozambiks’ though, they seem to add extra peripheral vision compared to its Flakjak predecessor.

Only used these in a airsoft role, but cannot speak more highly of them not fogging. Only one’s iv found so far that consistently will not fog up, even when its over 100 out and I’ve been active for a few hours. And like you Bubba, I’ve beat the living shit out of mine.

Great goggles . Most of the guys around me (and i) use them without a problem . No fogging what so ever . (I saw them fog on one guy once but he was very fat and it was a very hot night) . I prefer using them over my ESS V12 because they are better in that respect . I would buy them again .

Great goggles for military type use. Fits well on the ACH and acts as a great eye shade when not in use like the old Kevlar helmets used to have standard. It’s a tough to beat price with the easily exchangeable tinted lens that comes with it for free.
