Pyrates[TK] Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have a lot of drive time in my work days to come up with these plans that's why there's always a backup plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Ah very clever So does the upper section always remain connected? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrates[TK] Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 The backup on this one if the zipper system doesn't work is to use the elastics and hooks but keep the inner strip channel I've created again due to the shins closing on their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Tony you've helped to create a monster lol Which upper section are you referring to - the seam above the cover strip? The upper shin. Most zippers have one end of the zipper fixed. If that's your case what's you plan on how to get your foot in and out? If it's not fixed what's your plan on connecting the two to zip in a blind area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zipper is two piece and reinforced at the connection point at the ankle I stitched the zipper in that location so that I don't need to actually touch the zipper to connect it - I just manipulate the the shin opening in the same fashion as doing up a jacket zipper then pull the draw tab. I hope that's not as clear as mud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
