profiler lense replacement

[joeyarmstrong]

got some profilers,came without instructions.
tried almost every link in i could find and none of them seem to work.

anyone explain to me how to change the lense of the profilers please?

are the profilers safe? the nose bit when pushed gives way and i can poke my finger through to behind the lense to where my eyes would be.

thanks all.

If you push hard enough on the Profilers you probably will be able to get a finger through some of the larger holes but there isn't any way a paintball will make it through those holes without breaking and thus causing very little damage to your precious face.

As for lense replacement, I assume you are having difficulty removing the lenses (I had the same difficulty as they are damn hard work).

All you have to do is bend the ear section in towards where your head would be and using a thumb push the clip at the edge of the lense (next to where your ears are) away from the lense. This is a little tough on new goggles but after practice you'll soon get the hang of it. Repeat this for the other side of the lense and then its just a matter of popping the lense out and replacing it.

Hope this helps, if you need a more detailed explanation let me know.

no, thanks for the offer joey smallys instructions where sufficient.

smally85,cheers for the instructions,easily done after alittle effort.

i mean i can get my whole hand behind the lenses where my eyes would be!
have a go at it, just push the nose bit in until it gives!

prob wont get a ball hit u that hard but what are the chances??

Did you buy a pair of second hand Profilers or brand new ones?

 

[joeyarmstrong]

2nd hand, theres nothing missing off them. when its on ur face u cant push the lense back because it pushed against ur nose.so to push the lense back, the paintball will have to squash your head!

it just doesnt look pretty when i push it when its off my face,thats all.

dude,
your mask is one of the old style masks. The original mask has a softer face plate, to increase bounce potential ('bounceoligy').

The mask is still safe. It exceeds the ASTM requirements (some american saftety standard thing) and will fully protect you.

The newer models come with a bar in the gills and a harder face plate because VForce felt it would be a good upgrade. They still have bounceoligy, but you don't get slapped in the face so hard when you get shot in the grill.

If you have the mask fully on your face, the chances are 0% of getting a ball inside the mask.
