Witness Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Make sure there is room in there for you to be wearing an undersuit and a vest...
Ducman82 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 Make sure there is room in there for you to be wearing an undersuit and a vest... forgot about the vest. now im thinking about 3/8, maybe a 1/4 each side. should leave plenty of room. how thick is yours?
Ducman82 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 how low does the chest piece ride under the neck? from what i can tell in the screen shots, its not to far down there...
Dart Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Give yourself some room. It's not so much that the chest piece rides high; the bottom should be about where the bottom of the back armour sits. Ideally, the top of the tank should be flat, not angled towards you. If you haven't already, match the top straps up and put some tape over them. Try the armour on and see what it looks like in the mirror. Then decide how to make your cuts. One thing I can suggest (that I also did) is after you cut the front straps, check to see how the curve sits against the front of your shoulder. I had a sizable gap so I just took my heatgun and a small piece of wood and flattened the curve out a bit. Sits much nicer now.
