Millar007[TK] Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi all - I tried searching but couldn't find any threads on input on internal strapping/belt/suspenders to hold up thighs. Any good threads someone can point me to, or other recommendations. What works best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 The originals had a large loop of elastic glued to the inside front which you pulled a belt through and wear outside of your undersuit under the torso armour.

Scarlet Trooper[501st] Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I based mine off a nylon dog collar with the little plastic buckle in the front. I used nylon webbing for the belt, 1" inch elastic with snaps to attach the thighs, a plastic buckle, and the plastic adjuster. Here is a front image of it, the back has two elastic pieces for the back of the thighs. Don't mind them looking off, I couldn't pull them up any higher with my thick sweatpants on. Oh and the cheesy silver "A", I put that on since my husband has a similar belt as well. ----------- Edited January 31, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I also have Ty's (Pencap510) thigh garter system. LOVE it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millar007[TK] Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks guys, looks perfect! I'll check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiettLives[TK] Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I HATED my setup with the belt/suspender combo until I too got Ty's product. Highly recommended!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pencap510 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks all for the kudos! Shipping out two more in the morning and a few more in to build. Very humbled that I'm helping make trooping a little easier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pencap510 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 3-4 days from order to ship. If it's going to be different than that I'll keep you updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millar007[TK] Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Cool - ill be placing an order in the exit month or so. I'm still at the "big brown box of misshaped plastic" stage... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elleerre Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I use a tactical velcroed rigger belt and works perfectly Da Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliens8us Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I think I use a combination of both systems. I'm using a heavy duty cargo belt and suspenders from Lowe's. I have 2' nylon straps that hang down with butterfly clips, which then attaches to the thigh pieces. But I'm always open to other suggestions for a different system. I've been playing around with the idea of using a safety vest of sort to be worn with the chest armor/kidney plate. But we'll see Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Sounds a lot like overkill. You don't need 100 lbs rated heavy duty gear to hold up plastic thighs that weigh a couple of ounces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedback[TK] Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 For me, a leather belt, webbing attached with chicago screws to the belt and a snap at the other end connecting the thigh. Works great for me so far ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
