Title: Fatter sharks
Post by: g.collins on August 03, 2011, 03:55:30 PM
Hi Guys.
I remember someone asking what thay can use for better cushioning on ther sharks, well after buying some for my self, I found that the screens are to close for me to focus properly, so I cut some strips of theory soft plastazote foam, this is about 3 times thicker than the originals, i works brilliantly, ther reel comfy and much clearer view.

Yeah, my eye could actually touch the lens! That was quite disconcerting!

I left pasty with plently, he had a few strips of it lying around.

I really need to open mine up. The right eye wont adjust enough to get the vision strait.
