Boogie Time

How to turn Wiley X CQC lenses into unventilated Smith Optics Elite Boogie goggles. No regulators on em, naturally. Working on that. You could always just drill a bunch of holes along the top edge like Smith did. Thatd help somewhat. These have no padding, very uncomfy of course. Neoprene from cheap 5.11 kneepads or pirated components from the cheap sunglasses at your local convenience store would work brilliantly. All you need is a lens, padding, a drill and some shock cord. These are mounted using Ops-Core goggle mounts to maintain QD ability, but tying the shock cord directly to the ARC rail would work fine. Smith's far more professional version should be around $40, (plus ARC mount, probably), so this isnt a solution to a problem of expense. Just temporarily one of the best ways to cut down on a lens frame obscuring FOV. Keeping your peripheries open is paramount to maintaining situational awareness. Nothing does it better than a Boogie google.


Ill get the RBAV review up.... Sometime....
