theenglishdjentleman Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hi there, I've converted my flight suit to adopt the open collar, but I am finding my current balaclava keeps showing my neck skin. I'm looking recommendations on Balaclavas and Neck Gaiters to help fix this issue. Any ideas let me know UK based Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should also have mentioned that if you felt ambitious you could also get a neck seal. So long as it met the CRL requirements! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always handy to have and I might as well treat myself 😅 Are there any vendors I can pick one up from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking to see if anyone makes a fabric one with a velcro closure in the back. Haven't found one yet, but I'll keep looking!

DarmanProps on etsy makes one like that, with a velcro closure option: https://www.etsy.com/listing/642686929/stormtrooper-neck-seal?click_key=0c63b9f6dc15e97688b6b76a595ecb2f2fcd1b0b%3A642686929&click_sum=dbec4136&ga_search_query=neck%2Bseal&ref=shop_items_search_1&frs=1&crt=1&sts=1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aradun Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 For the record, anyone considering going with DP on Etsy, spend the extra 16 bucks and get the premium version. That’s the version pictured in their photos on the site. I was disappointed in their Stunt version. I found the bib portion to be way undersized by comparison, and it didn’t really lay nicely over the shoulders as the premium version pictured because of the way the bib was cut and designed. I ended up redoing the bib wishing I had forked up the extra $ for the premium version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up on the premium version dennis. Did your stunt come with 1/2" Hook and loop, or did you have to make that adjustment as well to meet the crl req?

Aradun Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 @BikerScout98 Can't say Scot, as I picked up the zipped version of the stunt because I was using it with the JFO Scout. That was pre-CRL change for the ROTJ Scout, otherwise I would have snagged the hook and loop version so I could use it for both. I would message DP on their Etsy page to confirm the width of the hook and loop they use. It's a good product, and to be fair to DP, if you look at their item description, they do recommend the Premium Version over their Stunt Version for similar reasons to what I noted above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout98 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 @Aradun Worse case scenario I will replace it with 1/2". Two other vendors sell them as well, Those 2 I DID message and not only asked them about that H&L measurement, but I sent a screenshot of the original crl requirements that @BikerScout007first showed us (nothing on it was seen but the req's). I asked them if the seals met all or some of the requirements on the photo.... ....They both just sent me my money back with no reply. 🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout98 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 @Aradun I talked to Bobby about the h&l .5" After some EXTENDED DISCUSSIONS, CRL LINK, PHOTOS OF CRL REQ, and some good ol' fashioned politeness, he agreed to make me a neck seal following the crl. Luckily bobby is a 501st since 2008, or I might have gotten my money sent back again...he asked me to please send him some video and or photos of it fitting well and how his looks on a Biker. I told him that I would do him one better, and post all that here in our boards to show everyone, so that they could also possibly purchase from him as well if he was OK with it. this was 10 mins ago. So basically a vendor for that now yeah? if all is on the level (crl req's are correct, mickey/staff ok it). Just tryna do my part and give back whatever i can like I learned right here in these boards. 👍👊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout98 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 @Aradun Dennis, looks so far like its good to go for current and future rotj/etc pathfinders to go to bobby for the neck seal. He has told me the following and approved me posting this here: So now PF has a quality (Buy the premium!) goto vendor for the neck seal being made following the CRL req's. @BikerScout007 I tag you because your our leader and know what to do from here if something more is needed than this. Hope this was all helpful in some way. I will recieve the seal in a day or two and will post photos of how it looks, detailed closeups, and it worn with the armor for the PF staff to go over if desired in its own thread. P.S. Sorry to @theenglishdjentleman for partially hijackin' your thread... Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
