Big guy, help needed.

Post by Grim Reaper »

When putting on my armor it seems that the straps may be too short for my body build. Are there different sized should straps and if so where would I find them? Also when wearing the bucket after inserting the hoses into the chestbox. My bucket pushes back so much that it's hard to see straight ahead any suggestions?

With out see pics sounds to me like you need to drop you chest armor down in front & find some better more flexible rubber hoses, I had the same problem until I made those two adjustments. TI 50680 :TI

Looking into rubber hose. Any idea how I can get the chest armor lower and keep it there? :TI

Yes just move your back straps closer to the front edges of your armor an inch or so, which should drop your front armor by an inch or so, that way your helmet chin can clear the top of your box & rubber hoses will give you more flexibility without pushing you helmet up, also you should install elastic side straps to help hold your armor in place.
