matt8199 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 This may have been addressed in here somewhere, but I couldn't find it, SO: I was wondering if anyone went as far as to attach VELCRO to the shoulder areas of your flightsuit so that the Shoulder Armor pieces stay put? I assume this wouldn't be too hard and it looks like the shoulder pieces move around a bit too much... Just wondering if anyone has had that problem and used Velcro to fix it? (Since she's doing my vest and flightsuit, it'd rel easy for her to add Velcro in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt8199 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Actually now that I think about it: wouldn't you attach the Velco to the VEST since that would be going over the top of the flightsuit anyways? I think that would be correct... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylverbard Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 i think if you attach them by velcro when you move your arms they may bunch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yes, and Yes... I put Velcro at the top of the shoulder bell (not any near the strap) and I have a section on the flak vest which this attaches to, and then I have another bit on the inside of the flak vest AND on the flight suit, so that ALL THREE bits join together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yes indeed. My vest has velcro on it to hold the shoulder bell up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I've got a nice, big swath of velcro on my shoulders (closer to the top). My only beef is that occasionally, if I move my arms higher, I hear the "ripping" sound of velcro. Next vest I make will not have velcro as I'm going to the strap method. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have "hook" velcro sewn onto the shoulders of my vest & the loop stuck on the underside of my shoulder bell. Never once had a problem with any kind of bunching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khazara Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 There's the common "T-Strap" method so that it attaches to the join of the front/back armor. One piece joining the front/back armor, and the "T" that runs out to your shoulder and connects to the inside of the shoulder bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonites Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Here is a video I helped out with using my TB and someone else's in my Garrison. On a couple shots you can see the T-strip Todd is talking about. I used the Velcro on the inside of the bell myself. https://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=c-Fsx2_Z7cU No, it's not me on the bikes. A couple things to watch out for. We only used one real TB helmet, the other was a motorcycle helmet with white Duck Tape. I was the Sandtrooper with the pauldron and the Tusken Raider (both borrowed and I couldn't see anything). Note on the shoulder bell, we did end up losing one of his on the sand dunes and had to replace it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
