td4541 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 hello I just tried my armor on yesterday and the strapping system is velcro, when i put it on a few of the peices I noticed neede more strapping, where i need more strapping is holding the ab plate to the chest peice and the ab peice to the kidney plate. Would it be better to use snaps for these instead of velcro? Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Snaps are much better. Avoid velcro at all costs. Quote
HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Gotta agree with Locitus here. The only really reasonable place for velcro is the back of the shins. There are a couple other places you might be able to make ti work, but snaps will serve you much better and help you to avoid wardrobe malfunctions mid-troop. Quote
LadyInWhite[TK] Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I have to say the guys steered me away from velcro at the start, and I am extremely grateful they did. I am all snaps. I spend a lot of time fixing velcro-troopers at troops So if you're making repairs/upgrades, go snaps. Quote

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Just curious...what is the advantage of snaps over velcro? Long term durability and reliability... Even if you only troop once a year. -Eric Quote
