zemzero Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Started my first build and I'm not quite sure how tight everything should be. The forearms fall to my wrists when I put my arms to the sides but they can't get any tighter, or else I wouldn't be able to get them on or off. They are fitted to be almost tight when I flex my muscles. Same for the biceps, they fall right to the top of the forearms. A strapping system and foam liners are the only things I've seen to fix this, I'd like a tight fitting build, wondering what my options are. How visible is a strapping system? Tight and close like this guy: Edited March 16, 2016 by zemzero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The armor should be form-fitting, but not skinny-jeans tight to the point where you can hardly move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikidymac[TK] Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Some people will add foam blocks to the inside of the armor in spots to keep it in place and sitting correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight and close like this guy: Strapping visibility? Black strapping on black under suit is not very visible. Bicep to forearm straps for the falling forearms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
