Are you roughening up the glue side of the magnet with a file or coarse sandpaper? Giving it some kind of mechanical bond as well? Or what about using a strip of thin plastic over the magnets to hold them on? Something like a for sale sign plastic, to help keep them from ripping off the outside overlap Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have also had some difficulties with the ATA backplate kidney gap. I found I had to shorten the straps holding the back plate to the kidney a little( to keep the gap small), and lengthen the shoulder straps a little to allow the back plate to angle out at the top so the return edges can meet up better. It’s been a trial and error process, as too short a strap between back plate and kidney and the return edges want to overlap at the sides. And too long of shoulder straps will allow the shoulder bells to sag off the arm, and the whole armor to hang too low in the crotch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I recommend just getting different boots from Imperial boots or tk boots Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have an ATA kit, and have the exact thing on the shins I have had no issues with basic approval and just made EIB The only issue I have, is the left side is very tight and becomes uncomfortable on a long troop. I plan on widening the opening more with a hot water bath and/or heat gun. The entire left side of the ATA kit is considerably smaller than the right. Forearms, biceps, calves etc....

I found it helpful to apply tape to the front side and put the paste on through the back. Peel off the tape after its set up and it’s pretty smooth to clean up Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you! I am working on the back plate kidney gap today. Reshaping some of the outer curve and probably adding straps to the outer edge. Also, I trooped earlier this week, and in the 90 degree heat the Velcro adhesive did not perform 100%. I will be adding snaps to help secure the belt. See you at centurion very soon.

Updated pictures: Front Blaster Thank you for your patience. Do I need to edit the original post or can I just post here? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you for the comments so far guys. The belt is only held on with Velcro right now, and it did go on a little high. I can put it on lower so the ab buttons show correctly. I can also add snaps if that is required. The blaster usually pulls that side of the belt lower, but I did not put it in the holster for this photo shoot. Noted on the blaster scope as well.

Does anyone have experience with imperial boots? How is their sizing? It says to order a size larger, but I’m always dubious of such instructions ordering online. Help please. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Is there a boot source you would recommend? TKBoots has been out of size 10s for a while Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
