Alay[501st] Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 Hey all, Just received basic approval on my ESB variant TK. I'd love some feedback in how I could improve it before I submit my EIB. One thing I noticed when wearing it was the gloves (rubber with clamshell) "tilted" forward if I made a fist or the glove slid forward. I might try and solve it with some velcro on the backside on the gloves, but does anyone have a better suggestion on correcting that? I may just stitch some for trooping. 1 Quote
BuckeyeTrooper[TK] Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 Looks awesome! In addition to the over-the-palm elastic on the clamshell hand plates, I also used industrial strength velcro to keep them in place. Works really well. It also allows you to remove the hand plates and put them on a glove more comfortable for trooping, like the nomex ones most people use.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Darth Havoc[TK] Posted October 26, 2017 Report Posted October 26, 2017 Your thighs look like they may be a bit high and are smashing into your belt in the front and the butt plate in the back. That will get uncomfortable really quick. I would trim the metal TD clips so they are not showing from under the belt. I don't believe that you need the straps around the biceps as they are not in the crl. Just my opinion and what I see. I'll defer to the experts here though. Other than that, great job on the build. 1 Quote
