Vents Reinvented... Vintage goodness inside. - Page 2

I've been experimenting with dye sublimation on fabric backed foam. Unfortunately, the cost is unrealistic for the volume that I produce. Which means that for now, I can only supply the black foam.

The Vents bottoms attach to the Spectra frames in a very similar fashion to how they attached to the Vents frames originally. The tabs poke up through the holes in the bottom of the frame. I tried getting a picture, but it kept coming out too blurry to be a worthwhile post.

Those are hawt!

Old lenses suffer from age embrittlement, which means that the original Vents lenses are theoretically unsafe to use. The "reinvention" is fitting them elegantly to modern frames with still-in-production lenses.

Let me know if you're interested in modernizing! Otherwise, those are an excellent museum piece! I've got a mask in that condition in tigerstripe hanging on my wall. Beautiful!

just trying to understand what I'm reading, you are supplying soft sides, and old front pieces?
and if I have a jt frame, lens and stap it will be $90?

Can I please get a quote for a pair of soft ears shipped to Denver, CO? Also, how much for an extra green mouth piece?

Thanks.

alpha434 · 07-13-2011, 04:20 PM

Shipped TO Denver, CO?

30$

What's the address? I'll hop on my sportbike and drop them off.

The mouthpieces... Aren't for sale individually, unfortunately. I just don't have enough backstock to sell them that way.

I'll be at the Hyatt across the street from the Denver Convention Center next week, attending a conference. Is it doable?

Thanks,

Mendel.

Yep. That's not far from me. We'll make arrangements closer to the date.
