Deathbyemu Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Here’s a question, will this notch give me issues? Just says ‘gauntlet style’ in the CRL.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathbyemu Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Well we’ve hit the fitting and re-fitting grind. This belt will be the death of me, but we’re getting there. My slide-on elastic trick for the belt boxes seems to be working. Once I have everything where I want it, I’m going to put snaps on the belt to hold them in place.(Ignore the ‘cummerbunching’ and boots)Having a bit of a struggle keeping belt and cummerbund in place, seems like they ride up or down (and out from under the chest piece) a lot. There is some Covid-19 muffintop adding to this issue, admittedly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep it aligned with the bottom of the cummerbund I use a snap behind the front center belt box and two pieces of velcro sewn in the cummerbund and belt at the back. I had issues with the chest being pulled back by the weight of the back plate and tank, causing the cummerbund to come out. To counter this I added extra weight to the chest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zv288bot Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Looks great Pat! I just inquired with the guys over at Walt's about getting a kit. How's the kit fitting you months in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathbyemu Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Its still great, though admittedly the last year was not exactly busy. Maybe did 3-4 troops on the year and a half since approval with Covid going on. The granddaughter’s is still fitting, it was originally huge on her. She’s worn hers more than me since I use a TK also, and its holding up to the rigors of a 7 year old pretty good. The only thing I will say is that I get kind of claustrophobic in that helmet, it is a close fit compared to my TK… but that is a me thing obviously. I’m trying to configure a better fan system, but it is tight in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zv288bot Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Sounds awesome! I have a TK and a Tusken. The Tusken is pretty snug so I wonder how that compares. Honestly, I’m just a smidge overall concerned on the general size of the whole kit. A Garrison mate picked one up a few years back but sold it cause it was to small for him. Admittedly I weighed more at the time than him so I didn’t jump on it. I’m currently sitting at 165lb at 5’ 10. Do you think I will be ok with it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathbyemu Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 I’m 5’11” and about 200lbs in my approval pic there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zv288bot Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Man, that’s a sigh of relief! You look great in your approval pics! Thanks so much. I should be ordering my kit from Walt in July. Wish me luck and thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
