darthaldernu Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi guys, I have a set of the Anovos Beta Gaskets and I can deal with the reduced mobility, my biggest gripe however is actually getting them on - specifically the arm gaskets. I have all of the armour attached on with velcro and I try and put them on like a sleeve - it can be done but the rubber on the gaskets grips to my undershirt and makes them very hard to pull up over my arms. Anyone have a remedy for this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Seems that whatever undershirt you use will need to be both very tight and very slick in terms of the fabric. Alternatively, if you are using a long-sleeve undershirt then you may want to switch to a short-sleeve shirt and use baby powder on your bare arms to help the gaskets slide up and into place.

camprandall Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 What worked very well for me, for these and Wyatt's latex versions, is to attach light-weight and breathable speaker cloth to the inside. I used minimal glue to keep full stretch. It slides on very easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthaldernu Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have tried using a vest top underneath and that makes it very easy to slide the gaskets on, the problem then though is at the end of the troop when you want to de-kit, the gaskets are stuck to your arms from the heat/sweat! I'll give the speaker cloth a try for sure, will any type of speaker cloth be lightweight enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 That's part of what I liked about the baby powder when I was using latex gaskets (which I still have but mostly use cloth nowadays). After a long, sweaty troop - the gaskets just slide right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camprandall Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I just grabbed some cheap speaker cloth from Joanne's. It slides right off after a troop too so no problems there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthaldernu Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I gave up in the end Clint and went for a set of David Rodriguez's gaskets, should be much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
