Root Admin proffrink Posted June 10, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted June 10, 2018 Welcome. eBay for the V12s as they're almost all unissued surplus from a while back. The supply might be running out by this point. Failing that actual surplus shops that have an online presence (Google is probably your friend here). V12s will fog up, but use some good antifog and remove the foam to alleviate this. There's a fair bit about this on the forums already - searching for 'v12' should show some relevant results. Don't forget face protection too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 There’s loads of v12’s on eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to play at least three games, over at least 56 days. You can't cram them all into a week then wait another 7 weeks and get your UKARA. The idea is to show that you're both keen (3 games) and committed (2 months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayz Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thanks all for your kind feedback, if the ess v12 are old what's a new good pair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Nothing wrong with v12’s just because they are old, offer better protection than most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterG Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Lots of people still use them, used they go for about £30. ESS and Bolle are good brands. I usually use a paintball mask, better peripheral vision and no lost teeth 😁 My mask is made by Valken. Dye is one of the top brands, but much more expensive. It's as much about what you prefer, your age, and what your budget is. Full face pro is usually mandatory for under 18. One pair of eyes, so whatever you choose make sure it is up to the job.

Kayz Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 I just want a pair that don't steam up, an protect the eyes, I'm 26 so I'm old enough, I will be getting face protection to as I like my teeth lol, any suggestions on face masks thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Give v12’s a good wipe with the supplied cloth and remove all the foam over the vents and you’re good. For lower mask, can’t go wrong with a onetigris half mask, about £15 on amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterG Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I tried various masks, but found the paint ball mask worked best for me. It does not fog since I drilled extra hols under the eyes and I use Revision wipes. Also I'm at the point where glasses are an improvement, but not yet absolutely necessary, So I can wear the glasses under the mask. I found the mesh lower masks unconfortable, some don't cover the ears. Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside, a chumrade just accidentally ordered the "teen / wamen" sized version, and do you know, if you don't have Ron Perlman Face, I reckon it's actually better. It doesn't extend down as far beyond the chin, so you can actually tip your head down without bumping your mask on your chest. I've been thinking of lopping a bit off the bottom off of my OneTigris knock-off for a while, and it's inspired me to actually get on and do it.

Moderators djben9 Posted June 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2018 Just remember with how you treat the V12s, I removed foam and use fogtech wipes, others are fine with just the supplied cloth yet some don’t need anything. Everyone is different but make sure the foam goes as it’s not needed for Airsoft! and have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prison is an historic building in Portsmouth mate, it's called "HM Prison Kingston" but unfortunately it does not host airsoft. UCAP based in Waterlooville have a prison style building on site. https://m.facebook.com/UCAP-Airsoft-300904156666476/?locale2=en_GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
