TheAverageAsian Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 yeah they don't... Link to post Share on other sites
Hvy gear Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 It used to be Extreme procurement that sold them but they've changed there company name and no longer make or stock the BLOK helmets. Your best bet is looking for one second hand although there going to be so hard to come by as i don't think many people purchased them when they were avalible. Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I'm intrigued, what is this BLOK helmet? Link to post Share on other sites
Hvy gear Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 This should explain it all , BLOK helmet review on arnies Basically, it's true full face and head protection. Though it's no longer made, i wanted one back last year but they had already changed there product range and discontinued it. Link to post Share on other sites

They fog like crazy. Cos your whole head is inside, all the heat from your entire head goes toward hotting up the air inside the mask which causes MAJOR condensation.

The lense is also very easy to scratch. Had one, sold it after a month. Wasn't worth the price either to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
SlvrDragon50 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 How much did they cost? Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 How much did they cost? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They weren't a vast amount, something like £40 if I recall correctly. Even so, you weren't exactly getting good value for money. It was just a few bits of foam covered in cammo material and a visor cabbled onto the front. It didn't do anything clever. Thing is, you really need your wits about you in airsoft. When the loudest thing you can hear is the sound of your breath inside the helmet and all you can see is a blur then you're not really in the best position to play effectively. Don't forget, this is your eye-protection. You get to wear it all day, outside the SZ. If you're moving, waiting, crawling, sneaking or sniping. The helmet is on you permenantly. You might be thinking it'd be handy in a situation where you're assaulting an enemy position but you need to consider that you'll be wearing it all those other times too.

psikodude Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 wow... what a curious looking piece of kit. Link to post Share on other sites
SlvrDragon50 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 It was made of foam??? I thought it was a plastic like paintball masks... Couldnt you solve the fogging with a spray or using the good ol spit trick. Link to post Share on other sites
Hvy gear Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Yup, it was made of foam. Using Fairy washing up liquid (not sure if you have that over in America ) helped a bit from what i read but in the long term, no, there was no real solution. You might want to try an under armour hood and goggles of your choice now that these are no longer made. There were also 2 models of BLOK helmet made, the first one as shown in the review and the second which looked a lot worse, it was basically just a visor with foam around it with no protection for the back of the head. At the time they were retailing for 50 quid. Link to post Share on other sites
