netjunkie9 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 My FX back armor overlaps my lower back by a couple of inches and I've noticed this in other peoples' armor as well. But in ANH it looks like they're stacked with a visible gap between the two. What is the "proper" way to do this? Does having that gap give you a bit more flexibility? I suppose I could trim down my lower back if need be. Thanks, Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt JB Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 FX armor is known for being a little larger. It is acceptable to have an overlap, so I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure it fits you as best you can, and make sure it's comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK 6918[501st] Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 FX armor is larger than accurate sized armor. You could trim the lower back if you really want, but it's really not necessary. It will not offer you any more flexibility as your back will not bend backwards. Ttrimming it to have a gap may mean that your back armor might get caught in the lower back plate armor when you move around. I would just leave it.

netjunkie9 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ok, thanks. I think I will leave it because I have elastic joining the chest/back at the bottom and I can see that pulling the back down into the lower back. Looks clean the way it is if not completely accurate.

Sgt JB Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yea, the FX kit is not 100% 'screen accurate' however it is a popular option to troop in. Good Luck with your build, and keep us updated with some pics so you can get outside opinions on your build. Good Luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I've thought about this mod, but it really doesn't seem worth the effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
