BikerScoutDawn Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 So I had my first troop last night, it was a blast ! I learned I need to pack a med kit of tools in case of breaks as my detonator end removed and I had nothing. Luckily others had e6000 on them, what a relief! ! I also learned I need to have tighter straps on my elbow pieces cause they kept wanting to fall down in the tight crowded areas of people and needed adjusting. Anyhow, my question, before I wreck my suit and softparts. How do I clean it now , cause it definately got warm even my bells had sweat under them. My flight suit had the real suede. Sink wash? Everything else? Sorry if sounds dumb I just don't want to mess this up now that its finally done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Just turn it inside out and pop it in the wash on cold. As for the armour, I usually just have a towel to wipe out my armour. Every so often I take some 99% alcohol to them to clean the a bit better. You might consider just sticking some velcro to the inside of your arm bits and sewing the other side to your suit. I do that and my arm bits never come loose. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, I'd recommend sewing velcro to your undersuit and sticking some industrial stick-on velcro to the armor bits so that they don't shake too loose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugdozer Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I have so much velcro on my armour I went for an alternative solution - magnets! I have magnets glued to the inside of the undersuit and the inside of the armour pieces. It works very well, but of course the downside is I can't put it in the washing machine as they'll stick to the drum or get pulled off and do damage to something critical.

Bubonos Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Honestly I fabrees the hell out of it and hang it up to air out. Cummerbund and armor, I like natural weathering so the dirtier the better. I wanna look like I've been on endor. Armor slippage is simple, sew on Velcro to your suit and add stick on Velcro to the pads. No more slipping!!! I had this issue at first and a friend my garrison said, "just sew on Velcro." Why didn't I think of that?!? Was my thought and problem solved! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plushie Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I let my soft goods air out post-troop. The suit and balaclava are easily washed. The inside of the armor can be wiped down. Like Bubonos, I'm a big fan of weathering, so the cummerbund gets aired out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
