KaiserintheHood Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm working on putting velcro on my flightsuit sleeves but i'm not entirely sure what the right positions for the biceps and forearms are. From what it looks like to me, the biceps are facing the sides outwards and not facing back and the forearms are slightly more towards the back but not quite? From references and screen grabs it looks like they were kind of all over the place. Could someone explain the right positions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the forearms are actually turned forward a bit? That's what i've really been confused about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 You can line the forearm up with the center of your glove. that's what I do when I put them on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
“ Sure Shot “ Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Instead of Velcro I use magnets riveted into my flight suit, magnets are also bonded into the back side of my arm and knee armor. It’s nice when it just “clicks” into place with no fiddling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeymark34 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I like the thought of using magnets to hold things in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice when it just “clicks” into place with no fiddling.Did the magnets have holes in them so that could rivet them? If so, do you recall where you got them?I was thinking of perhaps stitching them into the suit with a patch of fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
“ Sure Shot “ Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Yes the magnets have holes in the center. Sewn patches would be better but my sewing skills are non existent. I got the magnets on amazon they are 1 1/4” in dia and 1/8 thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

“ Sure Shot “ Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThis is how my leg and arm armor lands on me every time... Just “ click “ and it stays in place. BTW I use magnets for the flaps on my pouches as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserintheHood Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 This is a really interesting idea. I would this it would need a lot more precise measurements though but once it’s in, it’s in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinabelle2006 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Thank you for this suggestion! I've fought with velcro since I've had my Biker and this is the solution I've been seeking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
