B_Daugherty 0 #1 September 26, 2012 I just ordered a replacement mask for my oxygn helmet and installed it but it seems to small for the helmet. Will no go up or down and they only offer 1 universal size. Need it this weekend and Para-Gear is never available when I am able to call them. Anyone ever have and problems with replacement maskes? Thanks, Brandon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Polite 0 #2 September 27, 2012 You probably just need to tweak it a little. Compare it to the one you took off. Is it the same size? Worst case just wear googles and leave the visor off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotts 0 #3 September 27, 2012 It seems most Oxygen replacement visors were/are too small. You need to be very careful when putting a new visor on, or you will lose it fast. I like my Oxygen A3 very much, but can't say I'd ever buy another one again due to this issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Brandon There were the older OXYGNs and the newer OXYGNs... You probably have the older one which is slightly different and makes the 'new' visor fit improperly. I feel your pain. In the end, I just cranked the visor plates on the sides down and use it as a non opening helmet (like a factory diver)."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBachelor 4 #5 September 27, 2012 The face shields on my Oxygn were always a pain to deal with. The last one took two of us in the gear store 30 minutes to replace. The next week I ordered a Phantom, which I'm very happy with. The shields last MUCH longer, and you can change them in 15 seconds with no tools.There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,116 #6 September 28, 2012 I use silicone plumber's grease to make them open and shut. It won't attack the plastic, won't attack parachutes, and makes them slide nicely. You have to re-apply with some regularity, and obviously don't leave a mess -- wipe up globs. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhh166 0 #7 October 1, 2012 I have an older oxygen a3 and I just bought a replacment lens via chutingstar and it is tight but still works fine. You can always try them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
