ESS Profile Thermal Lens - Where to buy?

[hondatech]

My thermal lens in my Profile Turbofans are getting pretty beat up, but I can`t seem to find any in Canada, and the few places in the `States the will ship usually want to send UPS. Anyone know a place in Canada that has the thermal ones in stock?

Thanks!

I got mine at MD Charlton, of course I could have walked to the ESS factory and back before they arrived.

ESS has discontinued their Thermal lenses. You can still find some Striker Thermals in their Clearance section ($49), otherwise the only Thermal lenses they have for Profiles are the laser ones.

ESS will ship via USPS if asked (they have excellent customer service).

I wish I could say the same about ESS customer service, I've emailled them at least 3 times and never gotten a response. Even from my @forces.gc.ca account, which you'd think they would pay attention to.

I bought mine from https://www.sealsactiongear.com/catalog/store/HOME.asp

They only have the striker one in stock at the moment, but you could always contact them to see if they could get any more in stock

SEALS Action Gear and CPGear both carry ESS products and offer excellent service, I know CPGear can custom order stuff if you ask... but like i said, according to ESS those thermal lenses are discontinued so unless some distributor has some in a warehouse somewhere you're SOL.

I was afraid of that. I wonder why. They`ve been outstanding lenses.

This is what I`m hoping for, some leftover stock I can swoop down on and snag. I`ve checked with Seals, no go. I`ll try CP Gear.

If anyone in this thread is interested I have a couple pairs that I havent used yet.
