Re: Help with Vanson Armor

[Ira Gluck <parisphoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tony,
I use the same pants, w/hard armor over the knee/shins, & had the same confusion
over the soft hip armor placement.
Looking in the vanson catalog, they picture the armor w/the longer horizontal
"leg" @ the bottom. I use them "upside down", because I feel that they offer more
protection that way. They are somewhat intrusive in any position.
You could always give Vanson a call @ 508 678-2000.
Uncomfortable or not, use the armor. In the event of a mishap, you'll be a lot
more uncomfortable, for a longer period of time, if they weren't installed.
Take care,
Ira
