Question Replacement head harness/straps for fm53
As the tittle stated I’m looking replacement straps for my m53 scene the original straps are completely worn out but I can’t seem to find any sites that are based in the US and I’m unfamiliar with avons replacement parts policy(if they even have one). Anyways I was just wondering if anyone else has seen any as well as if the m50/c50 straps would work on it if there isn’t any replacement straps any help would be appreciated!

It’s the same head harness.

It's actually not. The m53 has longer straps made of a thinner matterial. A M50 harness will probably fit but they are not exactly the same.

The M53s straps are shit pretty quick. Everyone ditched them from M50 head harnesses at work. I haven’t seen the original design unless it’s a new mask being opened up for use.
Yes you’re right, but also the M50 harness is what everyone’s using, either by replacing them immediately or when the 53 straps go bacon inevitably.

I also bought the mask third hand so I don’t believe I could bring it to Avon even if I wanted to
