DarSec[TK] Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Having a conversation with a member about the pros and cons of snaps vs brackets. Thought I'd move it here. What are your thoughts? It seems that thicker ABS needs reinforcement for brackets, and brackets are totally canon. Snaps, however, make for easy break down of the torso for transport and storage. Anyone have recommendations or stories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedwelle94[TK] Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Most people here are gonna recommend snaps and elastic because of how convenient they are. I can't speak from experience about the brackets, but I heard somewhere that the return edges you set them up on may eventually be prone to cracking over time. I'd go with snaps, unless you're shooting for total screen accuracy. If you ask me, as long as everything looks good on the outside, and you're comfortable, that's all that matters. I use a combination of velcro and snaps and things have been holding well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Snaps and Velcro here. The added bonus of snaps is that you can take it apart for storage/transportation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphod[TK] Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I had the bracket system and switched it for snaps and straps. I now have more room inside (I trimmed down the return edges) and it is more adjustable. My armor fits me better now. I cut the heads off the screws and glued them on the outside of my armor, it looks like I'm still using the bracket system -Pete 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex507 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 For me it's only elastics glued inside. No brackets/snaps (beside the shoulders)/velcro for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
