Hi All,

What are your views on mirrored lenses, are they practical for woods ball?, apart from looking all Halo.
I'm currently doing another project and thought, I could mirror my clear lens (using mirror film tint) its cheaper than buying a mirrored lens but, what do you guys think?

Practical for woodsball? No.  Reflections are a no go if you want to try and be sneaky. (found this the hard was last month)

I have a V-force profiler mask, with a semi-mirrored lens. doing one-on-one with my bro and he found me by my lens everytime.
 
but if youre more into barreling through bushes it wont hurt you a bit.
i do, and enjoy both emmensly.
In the broad spectrum of bad ideas I think this would have to rate somewhere between running with scissors and sticking your pecker in the toaster.

Mirror lens also suck in low light conditions. I use two lenses a Amber lens for day light conditions and a clear (both dual pane thermals) for night games. Amber lens really help your eyes distinguish between shapes and shades. It's why shooters use them in competition.
