I typically lay my soft goods out in the sun to let them "bake" a bit. I also run them in a dryer with a "bounce" sheet to freshen them. It's a little easier for me as I'm in Arizona but I try not to wash as much if I can avoid it. I also do wipe all my armor down with Clorox wipes once I complete a troop and get home.

Great work trooper!

That's looking much better when you compare to the CRL model. Always good to have that overall front and back image up when checking your fitment. Keep up the great work!

Hi Nes and please don't concern yourself with too many questions! That's what we're here for so please keep asking them! The shoulder bridges can be either elastic or cotton webbing and typically the connections between the front and back armor as well as the belt drop boxes are cotton webbing. For basic the elastic may be approvable but check with your GML before committing to that route. @Aradun, @Chopper what are your thoughts? Keep up the great work and great questions!

That's great to hear and move forward at your own speed. We're always here if you need.

You can always create a purse or a bookbag with the material, and sell it, or even something to protect your lid.😉

I'm in Arizona so like our Australian brothers and sisters we get pretty hot. That being said I've never needed fans in my lid as the air circulates really well. Everyone is spot on regarding the suggestion to keep your balaclava opening around your chin. Since you are in layers it's essential that you hydrate before, during and after and always take a break if you are feeling off or getting too hot. Heat exhaustion is no joke.

Congrats Pathfinder!

Just watch out for the TK's b/c they are going to want you to carry everything for them!😂

Congrats on your approval Pathfinder! Excellent work!

Congrats!

Keep up the great work and asking those questions. RS is a solid vendor and glad the pencil lines made a difference.

Always a good idea to shoot some photos to your GML to ensure you're on the right track. We can help you based on the CRL but it's the GML that will ultimately approve you within the garrison.

That's what I started with then made changes due to trooping malfunctions over 80+ troops. Started replacing pieces with Mon-Cal parts. SC is a great vendor and always supports the customer so you will not go wrong with them.

@Chopper @MrPoopie Do you have any advice for this trooper? Thank you!
