If so i might see if maltese sheets are still available for purchase. You have to contact Maltese directly by email now it seems like. Just FYI.

I found a xrd kit used for longboarding/ skateboarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 A few years back you could get sample packs direct from them. I got 2 small sheets of 3 different densities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheevers Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi all, I figured for my first post I should have my mask. Got my vinyl print done a few weeks ago and am pretty happy with it so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcmaster-Carr has regular poron in diffrent densities but not xrd. I found a xrd kit used for longboarding/ skateboarding. Long story. My dad acquired some xrd poron by calling xrd, informing them that he was interested in using their product to custom pad helmets. XRD sent him 4 different weights and 2 different thicknesses (four sheets overall) to sample. We have since custom padded a Hackva mask using poron and maltese padding. While I haven't done this or read of anyone doing this I assume you can order sheets of poron direct from XRD. Enjoy! http://www.xrd.tech/products/index.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my vinyl print done a few weeks ago and am pretty happy with it so far. I like a lot. 2 questions: Does the vinyl covers the whole mask? It looks like it does and meets up in the middle. Does the right side mirrors the left side with the viking head too? What model? looks an NME from what I can tell. Alright that might have been a little more than 2 questions! 1 hour ago, Babylon93 said: I got this mask last week. RXS Mercury 68 Pro made by airxess. it is super light (1072g) and very comfortable WOW, looks awesome. Must be hot as hell though without any ventilation. Have you had a chance to try it out yet?

No problems with the overheating, the face opening is big Indeed, didn't noticed how big the opening was. Do you have any other mask you could compare it to with a side by side picture?

Yeah seems to cover the entire mask with the black stripe overlayed on it. Viking is on both sides, so you are correct it is mirrored. And it is an NME3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have closed this thread because it's become a junk drawer. I would like to have multiple threads going discussing foams or comparing them. If you have questions like VN vs Rubatex... Please start a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
