    Might need some help shipping something from South Africa.

    So these days most weekends, and occasionally during the week, I help run a local paintball field. For the past four years my Referee mask has been an orange/yellow VForce Profiler, as I typically always wear a Profiler of some sort when playing/reffing. Mine has finally started failing, and it appears that VForce no longer makes this color, as there wasn't enough demand (duh, it's a color that only appeals to refs).

    Most places list it as out of stock, but I found a few in Canada and South Africa that don't list it as out of stock on their website. I've emailed those to check if they actually have it, with one in South Africa and one in Canada replying. The South African one claims to have one remaining in stock, the Canadian one was checking, but just got back with me confirming that they didn't have it. Of the one that has it, they want me to arrange my own shipping, which I'm looking into. Another option might have them ship it to someone in South Africa who can then ship it to me. That's where you would come in. I would cover the cost of shipping and your time for helping me out.
    I can haz feedback?

    Ref version of Profiler might be available in Sweden. According to the web shop of the store in the link below, they should have it in stock. I could call and check if you would like. If they don't ship to the U.S. I can ship it for you.

      If you can find out anything, that would be awesome. I know no Swedish beyond what I learned from the man in your avatar. If they've got more than one, I'll buy at least two. Trying to get at least a couple of these since I'm not sure they'll ever be made again.

      Thanks dude. The more I can find the better, as I'd like to have spares.

    I just called the Swedish store. They have the masks in stock. At this very moment, they will cost $96.2. Shipping within Sweden is free, as for shipping to the U.S. I cannot say.

        Thanks for the offer. I actually have a yellow/black set which is what I was probably going to use if I couldn't find any yellow/orange. Still would love to find an orange/black and purple/black.

      Thanks to Handy and iamthelazerviking I found one, but I'd like to find at least one more, preferably two or three more. Hoping to find more in the US before I have to go international. Show me what you got!

          Does one get popped every time I get shot? If so, some weekends I'd run out of balloons after the first game!

          Probably wouldn't stick too well, at least not to profilers.

        You can also try Rit Dyeing the plastic. The Rit Dye for Synthetics can "stain" plastic to whatever color you want. The Profiler is pretty hard so it should keep pretty good as a ref.
