Sly11[Admin] Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 3 troops in a week, awesome!! Armour bite yep it’s a learning curve knowing just how far you can push your range of motion before you get the pinch lol. Make sure any sharp edges are sanded smooth and minor trim the areas that cause the most trouble.Good luck and here’s to many many more troops.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 In what areas are you getting the armor bites, Helen? Most of us have experienced this, and we can certainly help you get rid of them! Pics would help a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook1138[TK] Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Armour bites... the true badge of membership. Congrats! Seriously though, most armour bites can be fixed with some very minor adjustments. Removing return edge and sanding (right up to a 600 grit or more) will help. Minor strapping adjustments or even adding padding to the inside of your armour can all help. Keep on trooping! Three in one week is a great start! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrose927[TK] Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I've done 12 troops since getting approved and still getting biting and making fitment tweaks. Congratz! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I just finished a tutorial which addresses armor bite, and it can be found here: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/48166-return-edges-101-ottk/?tab=comments#comment-670906 It's kind of a long read, but I hope it helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaking[TK] Posted November 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'm the one on the right. Ab section is now too big since I lost weight. Figured out the leg bruises issue...thigh pieces are too long. Forearm pieces are just a little too long also. I've got some work to do!Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 You may need a little foam behind your sniper knee plate to help hold it away from your thigh. It's amazing how a little weight loss or gain can change the fit of the armor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-42134[TK] Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Congratulations and welcome. Armor bites are not fun. I get one right behind my right knee. After long days, there will be broken skin and blood, but its all worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
