Heads up, cheap siflite masks

[grim_d]

No affiliation to the seller but damn good price on siflite masks. I have bought 2 to replace my aging and abused siflite.

How much do sell for else where ?

We sell them for £40. That price is actually about what us dealers pay as purchase cost lads so they must have got them from a company closure sale or something.
Jump on it, they're half decent helmets.

They have a very close pinch point between where your ear sits on the other side of the head band and the inside bit of the shell. I pinched my ear on one a couple of times and it bloody hurts. It was launched a long way. I wouldn't have one if they were giving them away after that.

I usually see them for about £40 - £50, they accepted an offer of £40 for 2 of them.

I'll watch out on the new ones but I've been using one for the past 5 or so years and never experienced this.

Does that model have replaceable batteries?

 

[grim_d]

Im not sure, ill see if I have time to pop up the workshop tonight and check.

I suspect it's a fixed cell but as I say ive had mine about 5 years and it still works fine.

I damaged the headgear on mine leaving it sitting on a hot light so its uncomfortable to use now thats the only reason im replacing it.

Sod. I just bought one for £40. My old SIP is on the way out however, I might need another one!

 

[grim_d]

They are fixed cells but could be replaced easily if required.

[BrokenBiker]

Thank god for that. As no body else posted to say they had experienced the same issue I was getting a complex that I was a bit of a dumbo!!!! Tbh a welders cap would resolve it easy enough. From what I can remember it was a decent thing to weld through but once bitten, twice....... Launched in a fit of rage. Bloody hurts too. The clearance is just a little too close for my liking.

On the strength of yesterday's post I went ahead and ordered one. It was with me 12 o'clock today. It's a nice fit, easy to adjust and sits just above my ears. Light so should be comfortable to wear. I just need to get my act together now and practice my welding

I can only liken the pain to catching the old boy in the zipper
