MAXXTRAX77 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Are the trooperbay hand guards good or what should I buy? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 They are good! I have them on one of my gloves. I also have a pair from Joseph on the FISD forums. Can’t go wrong with either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXXTRAX77 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 I have discussed guards with him and he claims his cannot be painted? That something I wanna dive into? I’d rather support a small guy on the forums than a larger business. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Don't think Mike from Trooperbay is rolling in the dough by any means. He mostly runs a sign company and does Trooperbay on the side. His stuff is for the most part really good but as far as pouches and pauldrons there's known vendors here that have superior product. Half my armor is MTK aka Trooperbay and it is great but as far as handguards, I have an older set plus some from Joseph on my flight gloves that I normally wear instead of chemical gloves.

henselmonster Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yea what Jason said. Mike is just one guy running trooperbay. He's set up to look like a company, but really it is just him. Joseph is in my squad here in Orlando, he's a super cool guy, it does looks like he switched to a bright white silicone instead of latex (from what I understand), which doesn't hold paint as well. My hand guards from him are the original latex ones, maybe reach out to see if he has latex still or only the silicone ones. I know trooperbay's holds paint just fine.

MAXXTRAX77 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sounds like I’m going with trooperbay as I’m not sure I wanna mess with paint adhesion with silicone. Thanks everyone! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
