Armor sizing help


Recommended Posts

I'm doing test fits with my new MC armor.  Awesome armor btw.  I realize I should be doing this with my flight suit on, but I don't have it yet.  If you take a look at the pic below with my forearm piece, should there be that much gap on the sides?  Should the sides be tighter/closer to my arm?  Do I need to give these puppies a hot bath?  All the pieces on my arms have about the same amount of gap. I'm coming from building TK armor where every piece had to fit like a glove.  Please let me know...thanks!

Yeah, the armour doesn't need to be as form-fitting as a TK, but you could bring those ends in a bit. I like to add some padding on the inside edges so they don't dig in. Nice kit!

ABS is really flexible, so it'll also bend a bit once you secure the strapping, but yeah, you can adjust it some more once you get your flight suit on. Hot bath or a hair dryer should do the trick.
