[Needing a new Bucket. Suggestions?]

I have the same problem Mark. I am getting ready to put together a chin strap to force the bucket to stay in place.

[Can I trim further?]

I trimmed my ATA pretty far up towards the mic tips. I just glued the S trim or I could show you some better detail of where I cut. I still have to turn sideways to get it on but it is a lot easier to get on & off without scraping screws. I covered the cut screws with a little foam padding too. Next up, a chin strap as I keep knocking the bottom of the helmet against my shoulders & upper body of my armor and helmet shifts a lot so I have real problems seeing even with all the padding. Gonna force it to stay in place. The problem of having a short neck.

[straps?]

I have snap & strap in my NE armor and love it. Didn't use elastic straps but used 1" black nylon strapping. Works great.

I ended up going with the lite kit & bought the helmet from ATA. Became 501st approved on 4/28! WOOT!!

[TKBoots sizing solution]

Woo hoo! I love you! That's exactly the information I needed. Thank you. I bought a pair of RS boots with my RS kit but they are a Size 9, which of course translates to 10 1/2 women.

 

I have the exact same size foot as you. 8 1/2. The size 7 TK Boots will be perfect then. Thank you again for taking the time to post the picture. It was extremely helpful.

I am a size 8.5 - 9 US Womens and the size 7 TK Boots fit great.

Is this a reputable seller and will it pass to gain entry to the 501st? The little I have found on here go either way. Thanks for any help.
