Art Andrews Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I'd encourage you to look at this pic as well in regard to the pauldron closure system. A lot of this is known info, but here is some "facts" that I have amassed concerning the pauldrons: If you have proof that any of these statements are incorrect, please let me know! They are based off of vintage motocross chest protectors They are symmetrical from side to side (front to back). The black section is broken into 5 ribbed pieces. These ribs are created by stitching. They are not individual panels. The ribs are fairly heavily padded. The strap that goes under the arm attaches to the pauldron where the colored area meets the black area. Right at the edge. The black pauldron is white underneath. The orange pauldron is black underneath White pauldron is white underneath Pauldron is padded all over It is thick, not necessarily stiff, but thick. The white pauldron MIGHT have inserts to make it more stiff. The white pauldron has two lines sewn down the colored area. The connecting pieces are separate pieces and are riveted in place with two rivets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoCKo Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 third that, plus: the under arm closure system really seems to be velcro placed close to the ridge of the pauldron... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SethB6025 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I moved this, I think it deserves it's own thread. Does anyone have any clear shots of the neck closure? For a while I thought maybe the rivets might be snaps in the front or back, but it looks like there might be a snap closure on the middle of the straps.
