Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I saw on Ebay some guy selling a set of fiberglass armor. Is there any advantage to fiberglass over ABS or HIPS? It seems really unusual, so I was wondering if anyone had any views/experiences with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithpig[TK] Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I was curious about this too. I've seen some sets that were really bad, but some appear to look pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dishnu Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I think That one of the Problems with Fiberglass Armor is that it is more Fragile then normal I have heard of some made that chip at the Edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jango_Fett_Jr[501st] Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Wouldn't fibreglass be actually heavier than ABS? That, and you d be clack-clack-clacking all over the place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the past six months, they've had some discussion on their board about fiberglass helmets as an option. Somebody did a run of the TB helmets in fiberglass. You nailed the problem on the head. Fiberglass can be shipped with all sorts of precautions and padding and can still show up cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
