Bicep Armor Difficulty--Your methods?

[dankelzaga]

Hi all--this is just something minor but it really bothers me when I'm trooping and I'm curious how some of you handle it. I notice that my bicep armor constantly lifts on the ends. Because the strap is higher on the piece it tends to pull a bit lifting the bottom upwards.

 

I'm thinking I should just sew a long strip of velcro onto my suit and match it up with a long strip on the entire length of the bicep piece. It is just constantly irritating me (although barely noticeable in pics).

 

Just interested to know how some of you attach your armor in addition to the elastic.

 

Thanks

I got Velcro sewed to my flight suite and Velcro on my pieces to

Never had that issue. Maybe your elastic is too tight? can you loosen it up while still keeping it in place? My issue was it sliding down when I walked. I solved this by adding about a 2" square piece of velcro to the vest sleeve & inside top of the armor. Havn't had a problem since.

try snaps or foam, or both...

I know my Kashyyyk Trooper is different but I have snaps on the inside of my biceps that attach to my undersuit.... I also have a little bit of foam to make the bicep snug with my arm.

you cant see either the snaps or the foam and this helps it stay in place.
