TK-6042 requesting Centurion status[5][TM*]

Ah!

 

Mine are also glued along the whole length, but I never really unhook them either, because of the "thick" plastic on my 2mm and my small hooks, they don't unhook easily, so I leave them alone and just slide my foot through. The flex enough to let my heel pass through without any real issues. I wish I could close them a little bit tighter though. Or I could use a wider cover strip in the back. mine is only 20 mm, but I'm out of plastic.

Maybe you could disconnect the elastic strips and glue them on again further away from the hole. Leave a little more loose elastic for some "give" but that would be one way to have them fit more snugly.

You would have to unhook them to put them on each time though. And I know how nice it is to have a pair of lazy slip-on shins.

On my 2mm suit, I have nothing connecting the backs. I cut the parts wider so there is a lot of overlap. And, because the material is stiffer and the joint at the front is very firm (reinforcing strip inside the seam in addition to the cover strip), they always go back into position pretty much.

 

Here they are ...

 

 

 

 

 

PS I'm going to leave this post on here but I'll open up a new thread because this a bit off-topic but the new discussion may be of more general interest in the advance building forum ...
