Superkav Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 So, as an adult I'm used to using both zippers and Velcro but I wondered if there is a preference for clearance plus ease of use when trooping. I'm leaning towards a zip as I can imagine putting it on would be easy but I'm aiming for Centurion clearance and don't want to buy 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Toddo[TK] Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I achieved Centurion with Velcro. I have enough trouble donning a costume without additional challenges. I have three kids, and zippers often lead to use heading out the door late in the morning Quote
usaeatt2 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I have the same question. I read sometimes velcro comes undone when removing the helmet (like during a break). The zipper might be more difficult, but it's probably more secure. Anybody experience this? Seems like the older neckseals used zippers, but the newer ones use velcro. And it's good to know you can achieve higher levels with a velcro neckseal - Thanks Todd! Quote
Toddo[TK] Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 FWIW, mine has never come undone. It's a TK409. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 velcro is easier to put on.. for sure! Quote

Clamps[TK] Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 I have a zippered version - > no issues whatsoever putting it on. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Zip ftw. Mine is sewn into my shirt, actually. Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Tapatalk Quote
neoakaj[501st] Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 I have Velcro, and from time to time it will get loose when I put my helmet on or take it off. If I remember to screw my helmet to the right when taking it off or putting it on, there is no problem. Quote
kylebeagle[TK] Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 I have both and prefer the zipper over the velcro... Stays in place quite well and does not wear like velcro does over time. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21385-darmans-neck-seals/ Quote

Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 I have a zipper one. Its easy to put on and has never given me a problem. I got mine from oiftanker back in 2009 or 2010...still using it to this day, not 1 issue, love it! Quote
