If you want them already cut contact Nathan (runnriottt) for the best ones out there, and the cheapest price.

I have my original bubble lenses that came with my bucket....
I also have a extra couple pair of flats that I cut from a tinted face shield that I picked up at the local weld supply.

Would you like them?
I can bring them to the Con.

Making your own bubble lenes is very easy to do. get a grinding face shield at your local automotive store, they either have them or can order them, about $8.00 bucks. cut a piece that covers your eye socket in the helmet, then heat with a heat gun until its like soft rubber. Then lay it in the eye socket and gently rubb the bubble shape threw and into the socket to the desired bubbleness. it cools fast but you will have enuff time to get it rite, then finish trim the lens and hot glue in place, very easy, fast and cheap. They remain very easy to see threw also. i used to vac form mine, but the mold left the lens distorted, the hand form method i learned from a friend works better for veiwing threw. :thumbs:
