  1. Thanks guys - I spent a while the other day trying different methods and found that just holding the wrist of the glove inside the forearm before sliding my hand into it (with a lot of wriggling and swearing) works the best. I did the cover strip method with both sides, so can't open them. I'm winning now though....
  2. Ah that make a bit more sense. I'll give that go. Thank you mate
  3. This may be a daft question, so bear with me... I'm on my second armour kit now, and have gone for chemical gloves with the fixed latex hand guards. Previously I had velcro to open and close forearms, but for a more accurate version I'm going to fully close them on my new kit. Here's the thing: how do you get your gloves on, with the hand guards in place with non-opening forearms? I've had a practise run where I put them on after the forearms were on, but it's a right bugger to stuff the wrist of the gloves under the armour. It's also to tight to slide your gloved hand through the forearms. What's the consensus here? I feel I'm missing something stupid.... Cheers
  4. There's a good thread which describes the pros and cons of each armour - take a look through the forums and you will find everything you could possibly need. Your build is probably considered pretty 'average' so you should fit most of the armours out there. But it's all how the armour is built which will influence how well it fits you. Check out the armour threads, and the FAQs for more information. Stu.
  5. My advice is build it yourself. I'm about to start my third build, and there's nothing quite like stepping out in armour which you put together yourself. There's loads of info on the forums, plus a load of friendly troopers with a wealth of experience in this, meaning you won't be going it alone. I know at first it's a lot of money, so hacking into all your plastic bits is a bit daunting (I felt the same way!), but just have a go at it. You'll get to know your suit a lot better, too.
  6. These look really good lads. I'm in for a few quid!
