Finally got me some air flow for this bucket. Noticed after wearing for photo shoot its no joke in there and the lens fog would suck during a troop.

Walking around or being near a breeze can certainly help stop fogging, but yes standing still you can really heat up and fog, I use one fan at a time, it's great for long troops in case your batteries run down, then you can hit the other fan button.

Quick question can I trim the forearms back some? I feel like they are a little too long for my arms.

Yes.

From the rear it's recommended you trim the inner elbow side giving you more flexibility.

If you still require more room - From the front it's ok to trim up to the first indent but leaving a little of the original edge. 

 

[tat2trooper[TK]]

Great. I was thinking of going slightly over half way from edge to the indent.

That should work

Touched up shoulder bells and brought up my forearms a bit higher I felt they were to low to hand guards. Will drop pic next time I suit up.

Did some touch ups on the trimming making sure my kit is A1 for an upcoming troop.

Cleaned up all the pieces

Also shortened my visor it was too long

Wiped lens down with this anti fog 

Fans added in just trying to figure out where to put this power bank.

Interested to see how the anti fog does for you.

The anti fog worked. Didn't fog one time. And I was inside and outside in I believe it was 84 degrees for 5 hours straight. I give it a thumbs up.

So after trooping is when you really find the small tweaks you need to do to adjust your armor. Since my 1st in person troop looking at pictures I noticed my forearms were way too long so I shortened them. I also noticed my shoulder bells were a little spaced so I brought them in a lot closer. Now after this second troop I feel I need to adjust strapping on my abdomen to chest so it comes down a little more and also raise thighs higher. Also thinking of doing a little more shortening of the forearms and maybe even bottom of the shins. I noticed small crack in the sniper plate after the first troop must be from thighs pushing it. So I made some ABS paste to fix that problem. I also removed some helmet padding because when adding it I didn't factor in the balaclava and mic set up. So it was super tight to get off. Circled are problem areas I am going to address.

I also want to address the butt plate. That one irks me the most. Any ideas? am thinking of trimming the butt plate in more. Because it looks as though the thigh pushes it up.

Replace the elastic connecting straps with nylon webbing. Also tighten/shorten the Cod to Posterior connection.
