Unfortunately, this is not actually the case. It is rather simple. And
there is no need to lead folks to believe that it is complicated.
These are not the common names that are used for splash goggles. Vented is
not a splash goggle. It is an impact goggle.
To set the record straight ...
There are three common types of goggles: unvented, directly vented, and
indirectly vented.
That is surely not complicated.
Unvented and indirectly vented can be used for chemical splash. All can be
used for impact. Unvented can be used for irritating mists. That is also not
complicated.
Short, sweet, simple, and correct. ... Jim
