Hellraiser, I picked up my suit from Trik and as mentioned previously works out well minus the whole zipping the back.
I would shop around a bit and get pricing though, something I didn't do last time.
welcome, I cut the ab about mid belt whiched helped alot with mobility. I left the back whole as this seemed to help plenty. I can bend over, kneel, sit, etc.. Of course getting back up is fun!!! G'luck
I have the same Sot. Works pretty well just need help getting it zipped up the back... just like the good ole days... er ya nvmd. Picked up my gloves off gotarmor. Very nice.
No Prob Zac
I tried to drill them out but that didn't work out too well. I used a blade to remove the leather from around the rivets and then sawed thru the rivets using a dremel + cutting blade.
I left the 2 partial pieces as they have yet to cause me trouble and hey, what ye can't see can't hurt. Shall more than likely remove em and touch up the black this weekend though.
One thing I did find and I don't know if anyone has encountered it -
The bottom of the pack would catch on my thigh and push it down. I wound up adjusting the straps on the back to lower the pack. Seems to have helped so far. 6'2" may be the problem.
Here is a photo of the back of my belt pack -
The light blue lines are where the straps use to be. I popped the rivets, placed the straps vertically, and riveted them.
I wound up cutting off the loops on the back and using them as suggested on TK409s site for my belt pack. They really stuck out without the removal of them.
I had read various places that it was white and just dirty. Had also read that it was grey?!?! Thanks for the heads up. Shall get a white and dirty it up.
What's really funny is this is being sold on ebay. Thought about asking the seller about why he chose that route with the bucket. The person would definately stand out (laughed out) of a group of troopers.
yep, I may check into em for the non events so thanks for the website. Just wanted to mention that fact(they are non-canon) in case someone dumped a wad of dough and couldn't troop at an event . It would definately be groovy to have though.
