I use the ESS X-tracator googles on mine.. Just make sure you also get tje tear off lens for them, and possibly a bag to house them in on your helmet to keep them from getting torn up

I have clear Bourke's on my N5A, but the only reason they're there is because they came mounted on the helmet. The gap they leave is so large that they really don't provide much eye protection. I wear safety glasses routinely, and have ESS extricator goggles (the one that snap on to the helmet brim) as well, so I have plenty of good eye protection available without using the Bourkes.

I have the bourkes and ESS goggles on my helmet now, I hardly ever use the bourkes. I use the goggles on extrication and overhaul all the time and really like them. If the bourkes wasn't already on the helmet when I got it I wouldn't have them, although they look good that's about all they do.

I have the clear Bourkes and goggles. They look cool but their of no use i have put about 3 sets on my helmet but they keep getting to hot in a fire and curl up. So i don't bother to put any new ones on. As for my goggles they are so blacked up cant see out of them either.

Chief supply sells a nomex wrap for goggles that works great, it keeps them from getting damaged and is cheap.

I have the Bourke shield on my helmet. I like it over the standard face shield. I also have the ESS goggles . Wouldnt be any other way.

I took my faceshield off and replaced it with a set of ESS extricators. The shield adds alot of weight to the helmet, is awkward, and just looks out of place. The goggles dont seal as tight as I would like them to but they are great for keeping dust out of your eyes on brush fires.
