Get contacts!

No space for eyewear inside the helmet.

I dont wear eye glass during troop. I can see near object fine. Far away object bit blurry though. I did saw some one attaching his spectacles lenses directly to his inside visor. Cant remember how, probably with hot glue.

Hi,

I installed prescription lenses inside my bucket because there is no room for glasses.

It's working great!

Yes, this what I mention before. BTW, the lenses from old spectacle or you order new? awkward to order new lenses from optician without frame.

I don't want to distract from the OPs thread, but do you have a WIP thread showing how you mounted the specs?

The lenses are from spectacles I used in my gas mask during my time in the air force. They are still ok but I think about ordering new lenses though because they have not the exact lens strength I need today.

Install the new bigger mesh. Dap superglue sparingly to the edge.

 

Reinstall hovi mic to bucket.

Dismantle helmet:

I previously use hot glue to stick some foam. I use cold ice to freeze the hot glue residue. Wash the helmet with water and soap.

 

Found cracks at 2 places. These were previously hidden by S trim.

Trial Photoshoot for EIB submission. Not very happy with the result.

32801491452_8d048bdc39_b.jpg

Note:

1. Left thigh not level with right thigh. To adjust the elastic.

2. Inner shirt bunching at the chest area. To tighten at this area.

3. To bring in the shoulder bell closer to shoulder bridge.

 

32801490782_4d8fea8e4e_b.jpg

Note:

1. One of the snap accidently undo itself. Clearly visible.

2. Right shin rear not fasten properly.

Note:

1. I like this action pose. Will repeat this pose again.
