DarthDyer76[501st] Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm about to get my kit and start working on my black ATA TX trooper armor, and I was wondering about the strapping system... I've got friends who have assembled without using snaps on their armor, using velcro instead... does anyone else have experience with this? Just trying to weigh my options... I'm not totally opposed to snaps, but if all velcro is possible, that sounds pretty good to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Keith[TK] Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I used snaps on mine. I like snaps because it seems more secure than velcro. Snaps also ensure that the armor gets placed in the same spot each time. With velcro, some pieces may end up getting strapped on higher or lower than the last time you wore the armor. When it comes down to it, I think it's really just a matter of personal preference. You can usually make changes if you aren't happy with something the first time. Best of luck!

gazmosis[501st] Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 It is more secure. The good majority of costumes nowadays use little to no Velcro at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
