SHOULD HAVE

Armor
* Shoulder straps should not be attached with rivets, and should free float in the back rather than being permanently attached.
* Armor side gaps should be closed. This should be done by adding a shim or shims of material that must be of similar material and color as the ab and back plate. Shims should fit flush and may have seams. Ideally they will be seamless if possible to the ab and/or back plate, resulting in a single seam between the ab/back rather than extra seams for where the shims are joined.
* O2 canister should be attached via metal clips approximately 1 inch wide, and should be all gray without silver stickers or silver paint.
* Drop boxes should be closed in back
* Hand guards should be latext or latext-like, painted white, affixed to rubber gloves in lieu of plastic hand guards
* Holster should be attached to the belt from behind instead with no loops covering the outside of the belt
* the holster will be affixed with two fasteners at the bottom. These may be rivets, snaps, or Chicago screws
* Rivets on the left side of the ab/kidney plates: a total of six rivets with three on the ab and three on the kidney plate, equally spaced out along the depth of the armour and about 10mm from the edge. They may be painted white, or not.
* Belt should be canvas or canvas covered instead of leather or vinyl.
