Cladius Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) So I just received my AP helmet and the lens material they use is very, very, very easy to see through. I am just wondering if it's supposed to be more reflective, or harder to see through then this? As you can tell via the picture, my eyes are clearly visible. Is there a lens I can upgrade to so this doesn't happen or does everyone else's lens allow your eyes to be seen? Thanks for the help.

magni[TK] Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Looks like you need something a little darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKZombie[TK] Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Search dark green grinding shield on Amazon. That's what a lot of people use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaps[TK] Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Got mine from trooperbay.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 In the film they used green acetate like AP supplies. For 501 acceptance you should use the darker materiel as mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
