Wel­come, this is a review of the new Tokyo Marui Full Face Pro Goggles with built in fan.

After com­ing home from my travels I accessed my secure ship­ping con­tainer and got out all my air­soft gear.  GZ is com­ing and I wanted to do a ops check and full clean so I would be ready.  My old, fant­astic, HFC mesh mask had seen bet­ter days.  After con­sid­er­ing the risk of using rusty mesh, I benched the mask and star­ted hunt­ing around for another solu­tion. There was some­thing else too.  My team now play 24h milsim games. As I was going to join them, I needed a face rig that would enable me to eat and sleep in the field, but not be a com­prom­ise on safety.

Enter the TM Pro Goggles.

Tokyo Marui is one of the “old school” of air­soft com­pan­ies, launch­ing the AEG in 1992.  They haven’t really been known for com­bat gear, instead focus­sing on all sorts of guns pis­tols and rifles.

In recent years their qual­ity level and innov­a­tions have put them back in the fore­front of air­soft.  These goggles are a new move, and prob­ably the start of a range.

I first found them on this YouTube:

I bought my pair from Zero One air­soft and went for the black col­our because it goes with every loadout.  They are also avail­able in green and tan.

Lets have a look at them then!

In the box you get the goggles and face mask, instruc­tions in Japan­ese, wipe clothe and two sticky-back cheek pads.  It attaches using a wide strap with dual adjusters.  In the middle is a large and secure clip. This clip is very secure and sits flush, how­ever I sus­pect those with pony tails may have issue with it.

Inside the mask is a plastic grill to allow air in and out of the lower part.  The mater­ial is a soft flex­ible rub­ber sim­ilar to a San­sei mask.  The rub­ber hold­ing the goggles to the face is hard and thick, not the soft crap we mostly see.  I can feel that it would form a seal on the skin when its get hot or wet.  The goggle sid­ings have enough space to allow the use of glasses under­neath and the lens is far enough off the face to fit them in the space.  This, of course, reduces the vis­ion a little, but noth­ing too bad and far bet­ter than many masks.

The side of the mask has slits cut into it to allow air passing in and out.  This is part of the fan system.

The Fan System.

Here is the descrip­tion of the sys­tem on the box.

The bat­ter­ies the sys­tem uses is 2 X AAA and they clip in under the frame, which is released by passing through some clips inside by the eyebrow.

The fan is the simple mini style often seen inside com­puters and hard­drive cad­dies.  They are notori­ously loud as we shall see.  The con­trol for the fan is in two parts.  Firstly, there is a slid­ing switch that starts the fan on a low set­ting.  Then if you press the but­ton, pre­sum­ably if the goggles have mis­ted up, the fan really kicks in and a notice­able breeze flows over your face all the way down to the mouth areas.

Here it is in action, you can tell it is quite loud:

How do they works with hel­met and coms?

I use a Bow­man copy, here is the goggle fit­ting over the system.

As you can see there is no issues with this one and my micro­phone will either fit intern­ally or extern­ally.  With a good fit, the micro­phone is held off the mouth fine.  I did not notice an seal being lif­ted by the combination.

Let’s have a look with a helmet.

Fits a treat.

In the field.

I haven’t been able to skir­mish this yet, so I could only test the qual­ity of the lens by shoot­ing it.  My WA Hard­baller shoots at 320fps and didn’t make a single mark.  At GZ, I will have our sniper shoot it at 500fps and let you know!

The inter­net claims they will pass 1.2J ( Approx. 394 FPS ) with 6mm 0.25g BB.  I play up to 500fps.  If they break I will turn them into mesh and retest

Res­ult.

So, far they are very nice indeed and I give them 9/10.

Regards,

Basho
