Upper Arms Slipping

[LisaVH]

I tried to search, but wasn't sure how to word it. Does anyone have tips or tricks for keeping the upper arm piece from slipping?  Between the gloves and helmet visibility, I am constantly trying (and failing) to adjust the upper arm pieces while in kit.  I can't feel them slip, so I look down and find that the arm band is down around my forearm.  It's driving me crazy!

Piece of velcro sewn to the suit and some matching velcro on the back of the armor piece.  that should do it!

Some of us have velcro on our bicep, forearm and knee pieces.

I do. Makes life easier knowing nothing will slip. Also means your strapping doesn't have to be as tight.

Yep yep. What the rest of the crew already said.

I made a pretty comprehensive post about ways to attach the armor parts linked below. Feel free to use whichever parts work best for you.

Thank you!  That sounds like exactly what I am looking for. I appreciate the link.

I just glued some foam to the inside of my upper arm piece.  That creates enough friction to keep it in place.

Hmm...I would not have considered foam.  I'll look into that, too.

I really live by magnets. joanns has Purse Clasp magnets that are easy to install with just prongs and 2 small cuts. Then glue the other to the bicep armor. I hate when mine move. the nice thing with the clasps is the magnets "click in" with a little tab - they will never move. I did the same with my knees too.

I've glued foam into my arm piece as well, worked well in the 8 years, it also helps look in line with the bell, if you have skinny arms
