My Dog Ate My Brother's Rift...

Okay, so the title is a bit sensationalized, but it's essentially true. I went outside for about 10 minutes today with our newly adopted dog inside but out of his kennel. When I came back in to check on him my brother's rift was knocked off the table it was setting on to the floor where lots of the foam surround had been chewed off.

So here I am with my brother's rift essentially unusable because in several places the foam is completely gone. Nothing else is damaged. I e-mailed support to see if I could purchase replacement parts and they are unable to assist. My question to the community is, do any other options exist out there other than me spending $350 for another DK2?

Is anyone selling the surround from a broken kit or does someone out there sell an upgraded or at least equivalent foam surround that comes with the kit? I'm hopeful someone can help me out, thanks for any advice that can be offered.

The foam is pretty standard, you can probably find replacements and glue at any hardware store.

The About Face kit looks like a great setup, but the website doesn't seem to have any recent updates and the kickstarter was done a little over a month ago. Does anyone have any updates or know anything about them? I would definitely be willing to get that, but I don't see any information about when they might ship on the site.

The VR cover I'm not sure about. Some of the foam he ripped off he also chewed apart, so it isn't as though I can just hot glue the foam back on, some of it is destroyed.

Thanks for the info so far!

Any pair of ski, or motorcycle goggles should be the same.

About Face is due to ship in December, but I havent had a kickstarter update in a while. They hit their target really, REALLY fast and it kept going up, so they should be doing fine. Looks like a good system and will completely replace the foam on a DK2. Not sure about DK1 though. The face mask may be the same component

Thanks for the response! I think this is my current best potential solution right now. I'll keep an eye on their site and the kickstarter page to see when they ship out or I can order myself. Everyone else was very helpful, thank you.
