Six months ago I made a post on how to attach the goggles without putting weight on your neck to hold them up.
Here is the post:
a new elastic band method to get Googles weight off your neck
Now I have found a new simplistic method to keep the position of the goggles tipped up so that I can easily see the entire screen.
My head-shape makes the goggles sit on my face so that the screen tips in an upward stance so that I cannot see the top of the screen.
So while I am flying I have to constantly grab the tip of the goggle assembly and pull it down so that I can see the top of the screen: I have to see the battery amount remaining.
I have correction lenses in my unit and that causes my glasses (needed to have neutral viewing diopters). So I have put in several layers of
neoprene: around the facemask to keep my wire-frame glasses back from touching the corrective inserts. The neoprene really helps, but
my alignment keeps me from seeing the top of the screen by about 5-10 degrees.
My strapped band method (mentioned above) will do the same thing but it takes time to assemble and requires three bands to do the work.
What I have described here is a simple bungee cord with a clip to get everything done (but it does not take the weight off my neck).
Here is the parts of the system:
-goggles with neoprene around face mask.
-sticky tape plastic clip
-very small bungee cord from Harbor Freight.
