Good choice!

Yeah, I've never had that problem either. But do as Rich says, it has been discussed at length elsewhere.

I was lazy, that's why there's only two straps per shin. I could add two more, but only the top one would make a difference, as it's looser in the top than in the bottom. The shins close tighter in the bottom than in the top. Probably because of sloppy trimming.

Good ideas both of you. Think I might try to do something about it. If it just wasn't such a pain to sew the hooks on!

I wasn't clever enough to keep some overlap. Here's what mine looks like. I think the right one, in this picture is pretty good, but the left one stays a little bit open, even with nothing like a leg trying to push it open. The gap is really small though. just a few mm.

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.

Looking good! Didn't think of taking a pic of your reworked closure?

Yeah, sandpaper is important!

Ah, I see. Since I don't wear AP I didn't foresee that issue. Maybe "score and snap" could work?

You can cut it with scissors or a dremel. I recommend lexan scissors.

Try a store that sells remote controlled cars also, those lexan scissors are often used by guys making new RC car bodies.

Cool! Looks like it's going well. Of course you should go for centurion!

I saw these pics earlier today. Love the pics of the disassembled hovi-tip. Finally we get sort of good pics of the real deal!

WOW!

Sweet!

You don't make a return with the cover strips. Also, I'd use the measurements above. What ATA said could be a conversion from imperial measures.

Would be cool to see a set of "accurate" armour for the bigger boys. AM is cool and all, but not really accurate.

I would replace all velcro with snaps. Chest is looking better now btw. But I'd try to raise it even a bit more if possible.

I don't think TM is that hard to get. Just shoot TM a pm and ask. I'm sure he can put you on the list.

Mine are nickel. Don't remember the head size ATM though.

Water.

Around 2" sounds fine to me.

Most definitively.

You mean this?

Impossible to tell if the bottom has one, and it was probably different on all of them.
