Messed up E-Vent lenses?

[Shirow]

Double check for another film. I had one with the yellow film on the inside and TWO absolutely clear films on the outside. Took off the inside and one outside (didn't know there was a second one). Looked wet/wavy. After a closer look noticed the second outside film. Felt like a noob!

I'll check again tonight, this is what I'm hoping is the case.

I took a co-worker with me to play paintball a few weeks back and he had just bought a brand new gun / mask.....etc and we're out there playing. He starting complaining of the same thing you're talkin about and sure enough there was a film on the outside of the mask.

We all had an awesome time with that one. I laughed so hard i thought i was going to need a change of underwear

Thanks a lot, this was my exact problem.. WTF! The worst part is, I played a whole game with the last set of lenses like this and thought they were messed up so I bought a new pair. What an idiot!

Why the hell do they put two films on it..

We put two films on it to protect the lenses and the anti-fog coatings.

If you don't have the films the lenses can get damaged more easily in handling and installation.

Also the anti-fog has a shelf life. If it's open to the atmosphere it starts deteriorating slowly.

The films mean you get a good lens however long it has been sitting at the warehouse or on your stores shelf, or in your kit bag as a spare.

Well, good to know... maybe you should write on the film 'WARNING IDIOT, THIS IS A FILM' so people like me know in future...

I've been trying to get them to add "idiot" stickers to both films for a while. They did on the inside lens cover but not sure about the outside one yet.

There was one on the inside. The inside film is very obvious too since it's a milky color. The outside one is totally clear and doesn't extend across the entire lens. I did kinda feel it there with my thumbnail but it didn't come up easily at all so I didn't want to pick at it, was worried it was part of the lens coating and I'd damage it.

Well, at least I'll know for next time
