RLH2515[TK] Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I use the snap on the 2" white elastic method to hold my shoulder bells up. My 7 year old goes with me to my troops and has a hard time doing those snaps. Any other methods to hold them up that may be easier for a yougling to attach.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 You could use Velcro or even magnets, as long as it can't be seen from outside there wouldn't be any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk try attaching bells without bicep and forearm before slipping into the clamshell... then slide the bicep forearm combo up. Much easier and can prob do yourself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kman[TK] Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 ^^ That's the method I use. Before I started doing that, the shoulder caps were the one thing I really couldn't do myself. Now, I don't need any assistance suiting up at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLH2515[TK] Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 so I'll attach the top bell to the armor. Put the armor on then put the bicep snap to the bell. I'll try it tonight.

RLH2515[TK] Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Yeah I can't seem to be able to get the other side buttoned once I have a side on. I can't bend my arm enough to button the last. Uggg thank the empire for squires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited December 1, 2016 by RLH2515 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uggg thank the empire for squires Try attaching the shoulder bells BEFORE you put the main armor on. Then you should be able to get your arms through without assistance. Then, as a last step, just slide the arms on like sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLH2515[TK] Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I did put the bells on first. But can't seem to get to the snaps that I use to attach the bicep to the bell. I'm gonna try leaving the bell and bicep together then just try the forearm last. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually use Velcro for that particular connection (bell to bicep), so it doesn't require particularly precise aim like a snap does.

I usually have my daughter with me on troops to help but I'm going solo Friday to two different places and just trying to dress myself. I think I'll be asking for assistance lol.
