Well I have been busy again . . .
After what we have experienced with airsoft this year I guess the ideal face protection has been my ongoing desire. It has led to this:
Pics removed during Patent process.
Right now it is designed to clip into FlakJak goggles. It will be produced in other goggle formats, colors and styles if demand dictates. The prototypes will be shown at the Airsoft Convention in NC this weekend and we will see where the interest leads.
The website is under construction and military/leo models are under development for higher levels of protection without added weight. The ultimate goal is to provide a lightweight facial protection piece which can be added to any goggle system for LEO/Operator usage. The intended function is to provide heightened protection AND anonymity where needed in a way that a balaclava is just unable to achieve in the field OR in the training environment!
Stay tuned . . . the initial testing has been VERY promising!

Hopefully they will fill a niche for airsoft and LEO/Operator use.
Should be able to make a few more this weekend by hand as we get ready for production.
Pricing waterjet cutting and platen molding now as well as plastic types.
Lots to do including finalize the patent application, check costs of platen production for injection molding, produce accessory forms, etc.!
Black should be $15, OD or Coyote $17 and digicam $20 for now . . .
As quantity orders increase and ABS injection becomes a possibility, I should be able to lower the price a bit.
