Having lived with an Airshield for several months now, I found that the flexible material that fits around the chin was rapidly disintegrating, so I did the following mod as shown in the sequence of pics:
The first pic shows the material with lots of cracks where it is fitted under the users chin
I decided to fix this by getting one of SWIMBO'S old leather shoulder bags and recycling it.....so here you can see I've cut out two crescent shaped pieces of soft leather to go either side of the cracked material
The first piece is glued into place with some contact adhesive and the second is glued in place afterwards. Both pieces can be trimmed to fit the user so that the eventual result, once the Airshield is reassembled :roll: is the final pic
In use the completed mod makes a much tighter fit around the face though it is a little more awkward to put on, but I think a worthwhile mod all the same. If Trend are reading this then I wouldn't have minded paying a few extra quid for a leather fitting as an original part of the Airshield - Rob
