Advice:
--When following links to a product, always check the rest of the site. The linked product might be alright, but there could be something perfect elsewhere on the same site.
--Always check ebay, department stores, military surplus/paintball stores, costume stores (especially around Halloween), and local fabric/sewing stores regularly. You never know when something special pops up for a limited time.

More to come.

Yea, alot of this stuff has cheaper alternatives. The hood piece is a decent price, but thats about it. The 60$ gloves can be replaced with the 8$ blackjacks (paintballs gloves).

I picked up one of these as a temporary detail piece - it's not perfect but it's pretty good - especially for the price:

Paintball Chest/Back

The back detail is better than the front...

Note that this is an early WIP thread. There's a lot more links just on these forums that I still need to put on here. I just have the expensive stuff because I linked to what was readily available in this subforum. And the gloves are expensive because they're real armour (Kevlar and advanced composites and such).

Should I update the first post with the stuff you guys post or just let people scroll down?

I would update. I think this is a good idea. Just post all the possible choices. For instance, those Kevlar gloves, and the Blackjack gloves under it.

Very early on, I considered that same one for an undersuit but I ended up getting the SixSixOne SP-2 pressure suit:

SixSixOne SP-2 Pressure suit

It's great for adding extra bulk in your arms and shoulders. I'm in the process of blackening out the blue trim. Maybe I should have gone with the regular pressure suit since the SP-2 is the slimmer version of their standard suit.

Is it me, or is this a little pricey for a homemade costume?
also, this seems to be screaming, 'hey if you follow the lines, you'll be conveniently looking at my crotch. I highly recommend this course of action'.

I was going to use these, since I can just black out the knuckles with a little paint. figured it'd add to the look of the suit.

This was what i was going to use for neck, and possibly trim it down. I want to cover my chin as well as my neck, so if the helmet flops, no skin is visible.

Speaking of helmets, I had planned on picking up a couple of these and cutting them to fit where needed. More airflow means less sweat.

Please do. It'll make the whole thing faster.

Hey guys, new member here.

I thought this to be a worthy post.

Check out this! I know it's sleevless, but I have sleeves to attach to it. It just shows off some nice ribbed texture and looks like it will work with the armor. 40$ Dollars

Feel free to leave some comments after clicking on link below

Under Armor Link

I will post pics after purchase and modifications.

Here is also a pic of it.
