Problem with paulder

[Collector2[501st]]

Hi Guys:

 

Since I built my Nova I've had one problem with it. I'm constantly having to push the helmet down or I cant see. This past weekend I tried wearing it without the paulder and the problem all but disappeared. It appears that my neck is too short and having the paulder on top of the armour pushes the helmet up. (and also gives me a sore neck from the strain of trying to keep it perfectly straight in order to have some vision. Any suggestions (besides loosing the paulder) on how I might get rid of the problem?

try velcroing the pauldron down to the armor so it doesn't stick up so much.

It would be nice if you had a pick of you in the armor with the pauldron on, but no bucket.

This isnt recent but I hope it will serve the purpose

Just looking at the pictures a couple things stand out to me. It looks like that wrinkle that is being created in the front on your left where the pauldron front snaps to the back is like your cause. Out of curiously, if you leave it unsnapped and make sure its laying down flat, does it still do it? It seems to be pulling weird and creating a lift. As I don't have a Pauldron hard from me to speak from experience, but that's what I notice just looking at the photo.

I agree with both, loose the strap and use some velcro to attach the pauldron (maybe the plastic strap that connects the back and chest, shoulder strap will be a good place to do that)

Depending on how the helmet is sitting, you might be able to raise the helmet up slightly as well... ost likely however, it whole issue comes from the pauldron and the backpack. have you tried wearing the pauldron without the backpack to see if it lies down correctly with the helmet?

Hi Izzi:

 

I never thought of the backpack itself. I'll try that next time I use the Nova.

 

Thanks
