I used nail glue on my old Events. Don't put to much or it will clump up. Not the greatest suggestion though.

I haven't seen this personally, but mistakes do happen--foam is weird, I have seen sheets before die-cutting that are more "airy" then others. Valken Customer Service can likely get you a new foam set or have you return the goggle. Call Valken Customer Service and they'll get you sorted out : (866) 978-2553

So long as you have a proof of purchase within a year and the mask is legitimately a manufacturer defect (sounds definitely like it is) then you're covered. I doubt they'll be able to replace it with the same color (truly a limited edition, will never be re-made), but at least you'll get a brand-new mask out of the situation. Sorry for the trouble!

This is what we've found to work best. I would advise removing the lens and placing it another room, as the glue and fumes are extremely detrimental to polycarbonate. Don't put the lens back in until everything has dried for at least 24 hours.

I will try and check back here and help you guys out as much as I can. Not having to do sales and some of my other duties gives me a lot more time to interact with customers and try and improve our image and products.

Doesn't feel too bad actually. And you don't have to use a nail instead of the stock plastic pin, just takes a little effort and it'll fit in a KM strap.

Just wanted to share the HK/PB Fashion cut with you guys... obviously got rid of the ear padding, cut the top, slimmed up the bottom substantially. Makes it the same size as an i4 and much easier to hear while keeping alot of the comfort. More color and customization to come as we continue to experiment with it.

I just bought a pair of Profits and have played one day with them so far. I love the shape & fit of this mask and the protection it offers. I also can hear just fine when I'm wearing it, contrary to many people's testimonials.

They were great until I got shot on my headband and paint leaked in through the upper vents above the lens and onto the inside of the lens, which made me have to wash the inside of the lens and take the anti-fog coating off. From that point forward, they were fogging like crazy.

I've seen a few photos posted by people who've modded their Profits so they can vent better. I went this route myself and cut out every 3rd "spine" piece out of the top vent with an x-acto knife, as well as a small piece of rubber in the front of the mask in front of my mouth. I also went and got some anti-fog rub and treated both sides of the lens.

IMO one of the main reasons for the fogging problems is the huge SLY logo they decided to put RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the top vents... Definitely a boneheaded place to put a logo.

Is this something that is going to be sold as a product or just a one off custom job your doing?

Hmm... I'd like to see this put together and being worn. Looks like it could be a nice concept.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I'm about to get an olive profit mask and I'm not that fond of gradient lens. Are the clear lens included or you have to buy that separately? Thanks

Deimus85 · 04-27-2012, 11:18 AM

It only comes with one lens.

BRent85 · 04-30-2012, 11:49 AM

Any updates on that HK cut?

I use Kwik Grip from Selleys, which essentially made to repair shoes. Very good grip on any sponge like foam.

My custom old profit reborn!

Bunkerya4fun · 05-05-2012, 01:36 AM

not bad. next time paint behind the strap on the clips though (unless thats the look you wanted). also for anyone replacing foam or putting their foam back in i would suggest using e6000 glue iv found that it bonds the best and also you cant feel it underneath the foam while wearing the goggle's.

I have a Sly Profit. Ive had it a few months now. played about 7+ games with it but this last on was bad with it. Condensation was getting on the lens and thus fogging the mask. Ive heard that the padding on the bottom doesnt seal very well. Anyone else having problems with this? Can we mod the padding?
