TK-42775[TK] Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 So anyone have ideas on how to trim the butt plate so that walking is more normal and not so much as a waddle and still approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Could you post a photo of your side and back to get an idea of how much room you have. I'm a little taller so have a little more room in between armor sections so I don't waddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tydirium1[TK] Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I would like to see a photo as well. I'm interested in seeing what is causing the waddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-42775[TK] Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 this edge on the Butt plate was digging in to the insides of my inner thighs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-42775[TK] Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'm almost wondering if I cut the Cod shorter and trim some off ab to bring it closer up will resolve this, I have like an inch or so clearance between strap and body (Or strap to taint clearance ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 You don't need that much return edge there, you could trim some away Doesn't look like you can come up any further at the back, not without cutting the back or kidney plates.

TK-42775[TK] Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) I'd almost say I could get away with cutting the bottom edge off and moving the snaps up Oh wow, yeah looking at that pic I'm definitely going to be able to get away with trimming it down and moving the snaps Edited February 4, 2019 by James Whitley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Is it the actual bottom edge digging in or the sides before the edge though? Even if you did trim it you could still shape the sides so it appears standard in appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-42775[TK] Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 is where it was digging in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket[TK] Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 If you're still having waddle issues, you may need to trim some of the sides of the cod to narrow things up a bit. From your side view, it looks as if your cod is a little low (*giggle* as I write that...). That can impact walking comfortably. You may also consider bringing the cod up a bit. You'd be surprised at how much more mobility you have when that cod isn't hanging around so low! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-42775[TK] Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yeah I'm thinking of trimming my Cod plate up an inch, and then the Butt plate adjustment. Dammit now I have the giggles........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I would try to at least keep the same looking shape even if you trim off an inch, trimming the sides will allow it to look standard as well as give you a little more wiggle room.
