Undersuit Resource Thread

[Garland]

I'm starting this as a reference point for anyone working on an undersuit. I'm going to update this post periodically with links to products and tutorials that have been posted elsewhere in this forum or I have found myself.

If you have anything that would fit in this thread, feel free to post it.

Anything without a name was found by me; otherwise credit will be given to original poster.

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.

MY GOD, this stuff is a bit overly exspensive dont you think... haha.

[luketrocity]

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).

[Keegan]

For a neckseal, just go get a dickie, tada.

[DogWizard]

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&#39;s great for adding extra bulk in your arms and shoulders. I&#39;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.

[O Malley]
