Armor bite/return edges

[Herzing66]

Hello,

Just wondering where most of you have experienced armor bites and how much return edges cause this problem.

Thank you very much.

It's pretty common man....hazards of the job

Inside the elbows & knees get the biggest bites. Don't be afraid to shape and trim until you have decent range of motion. Pad with foam and weather stripping to keep the plastic off the skin.

Pete, will trimming for better movement effect SWAT if the armor doesn't match the chosen trooper?

Although the return can slightly effect pinch and movement, it shouldn't be to the extent of causing you pain or injury. Yeah, I get pinch marks on my biceps but its hardly noticeable whilst wearing the armour - in fact, I only tend to notice it when I dekit and see the red marks.

Basically what I'm saying is, if its causing you pain file down some of the return

[Smally]

You should be able to trim enough off the return edge to make it comfortable whilst still leaving enough on for swat clearance.

agree with smally,just have the

minimal amount you need on any pinching areas,
