I have a fan at the top of my helmet to push the hot air out. The Balaclava stops my hair from getting sucked into the fan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey there Does anyone else worry having the snaps inside your armor eventually create bumps from repeated use? I thought of the following process after seeing some snap posts Take a piece of ABS and mark up a grid with a ruler: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170117/aa1c68202f7f2dc271c20ac7f771804d.jpg Then mark a hex so you can find the middle of each square: Then scratch up both sides for glue adhesion: Next create a base to hold the marked up ABS: Then using a spade big cut out the holes. I used another piece of wood to hold the ABS still. Eventually you have all the circles cut out: Take it back to your table and cut out the squares. I used score-n-snap but scissors are just as good: Glue to the underside of your snap: Most times I used 1 piece but sometimes I needed more. All in all they turned out well and now the snap has a cushion: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have heard of troopers splitting the ab and adding a shim behind the belt. Gives another 2-3 inches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a shim on the inside? I normally see the magnets over the exterior shim. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Some ppl use a strip of foam to keep the arm centered ( and for comfort). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk "Long and Prosperous, you shall live"

Well I messed up and drilled 3 holes on BOTH sides of ab plate Trying ABS Paste.. When there are air pockets it means it's too thick? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk "Long and Prosperous, you shall live"

Other than remnants from your trimming I have seen ppl use yard sale signs from Home Depot or similar stores. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk "Long and Prosperous, you shall live"

That'll be a great add for troopers in hot climates. You could add a cooling system in there. [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk "Long and Prosperous, you shall live"
