Adjusting shoulder straps on a thin Pilot

Post by Knuckles »

Hi Pilots,

I have a quick question for you: my daughter just received a new pilot kit from Intergalactic Supply.
unfortunately, she’s quite thin so the whole armor sits pretty low, covering the belt.

After removing the straps, it seems the best fit would be to cut the straps as much as possible and basically have the caps (that part with the screws) nearly touching each other.

Would this be acceptable or the straps have to be visible?

The straps need to be visible.
I suggest securing the armour first with strapping, then add the shoulder straps afterwards. This way you can position the octagons a little lower on the armour.
You can also shorten the straps a little.
Does that make sense?
