Silverface Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I recently ( shamefully ) impulse bought an Anovos FO TK, standard line lid from a local comic shop. I'm relatively happy with it, although there are a handful of gaps around some seams that I need to fill and the build quality seems a bit too low for the price. But the lenses are a problem, viewing forward is blurry and gives me a headache after about half an hour. I can't quite figure out how to pop the lens out of the helmet without taking the entire lid apart though.Any advice? Both on replacement lenses and sorting out the whole removal process without demolishing a somewhat overpriced purchase? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hey Elliot, is this Anovos injection molded helmet or do you know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverface Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 It's their standard one. I believe it's injection molded. Very light plastic, but tough. Lots of little places where the joins have been glued, but the glue didn't set properly, leaving little gaps that I have to repair. I'll get some pictures up ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP2134 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I've also been looking into this, with no luck on an answer. Any updates? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Well not sure this will help you but I have both buckets and I found the Novus 2 polish really made a difference in the visibility of my lens. About 20 minutes of deep polishing cleaned up some pretty bad distortion. Wasn't perfect but at least now I can troop without getting dizzy Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO[TK] Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 If you're still in the market for a lens upgrade look- up VaderPainter Studios on Facebook. He's doing acrylic lenses that look awesome and, even better, you can see out of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacement lenses are incredibly clear but need to be cut to fit in the helmet. My lenses were very easy to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
