Fit of chest and back armor

[Dmorja]

Hi, I need some advice. During my troops I have been having an issue with the chest armor sliding up.

 

I was thinking that I would Velcro it to my Cumberland but in pics I also noticed that when the chest armor is in the correct position there is a gap in the back armor. You can see it in the pic below. I did not see anything in the control for basic or Lancer that said the bridge covers had to be a certain size. Is this correct and does anyone have any suggestions on keeping the chest armor from riding up?

Thanks

You may want to reshape the angle of the chest & back armor so it's more in line with your shoulder shape, if that makes sense.

Reshaping may fix the chest moving up problem hopefully.

 

The bridge shoulder join ( material ) should be approximately 1 inch I believe for accuracy.

 

 

****Edit: although looking at your signature, it looks good. I think more pics would be helpful in getting to the route of the problem

Yeah, it's always a bit of a common issue.

 

The shoulder parts aren't exactly the right shape for your frame and you will get this happen.

This will always happen, no matter how wide you make the shoulder bridges. In fact, if you male the bridges bigger, it will look worse.

 

The best (although not easiest) way to combat this is to gently re-shape the 'over the shoulder' bits on the armour so they better suit you.

Obviously there is always a risk when re-shaping armour, so this is only to be done entirely at your own risk and if you're 100% comfortable with it.

 

 

As for stopping everything moving around...

I have a strip of velcro on the inside of my chest armour which is then attached to the bund/pouches and the same along the back edge of the armour and the upper bit of my bund at the back.

 

Velcro everywhere that can't be seen to hold stuff where it needs to be!

 

 

As Alan has said, it looks OK in your sig bar, so there must be a way to do it without too much hassle.

Thanks guys, I think I will try the Velcro every where unseen approach and see how that works.
