JMC Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 A thing of beauty right there, if I had 1 nit pick though, polish up those boots scout. weathered boots and shiny armor don't really match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthShlomo Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's Florida. You can't walk outside in white boots without getting them dirty. And it has been raining a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikko Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I personally think the dirt being on the boots and not the armor looks pretty normal. The boots will get dirty faster anyway. It doesn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chex Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Boot tubes are a little too tall. I know you're short lol, but there should be some bit of a gap between knee armor and top of boot. Armor looks good though. Good job on the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthShlomo Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks Chex! But if I go any shorter on the boot, the holster rides on my foot. lol Joys of a short trooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armor looks good though. Good job on the belt. Not to mention, you did the hard part on the belt. All I did was finish strapping it. lol I will see if I can hike the knee pads up with velcro tabs to keep them off the boots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chex Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 You might also, if you eve rget the time, order a new set of knees from SC. They're a bit smaller and might work better for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthShlomo Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I didn't know SC knees were smaller. I will most likely do that. Thanks. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthShlomo Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Responding to some advice, I made a few tweaks to my kit. My vest was riding up, so I added snaps to it so it secures to my under suit. I redid the suspenders to keep my cummerbund up and added a plate in the groin flap to prevent the dreaded camel-toe. And I straightened the drop boxes. Please ignore the slightly off center belt. :s I even added some velcro to keep my knees above my boots. But I don't have much room to work with!

Griffin-X Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Looking good! My only advice is to raise your drop boxes. They should ideally be about 1.5" to 2" from your belt, depending on size, etc. And this is purely from experience, round the edges of your belt back a tad. You may end up poking or jabbing something! Great work all in all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
