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:

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:

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?

Other than remnants from your trimming I have seen ppl use yard sale signs from Home Depot or similar stores.

That'll be a great add for troopers in hot climates. You could add a cooling system in there. [emoji1303]

I had a similar issue with my calf and used a large clamp to squeeze the calf into a flat shape that then allowed the clamps to get a tight lock on the seam
So I am wondering how you put these on. Do you attach the clip and slide the shin on or attach after. If after, how do you hook it with ( my fat) calf in the way ?

I added some foam cushion and an old pillow to help stuff.
I also added additional foam at the shoulders since alot of weight will be there.
