Hello
has anyone thought about the possibility of using VELCRO with a liner? it must be sooo much easier than having to glue and unglue the liner for cleaning.Not sure how easy the liner itself would glue to one half of the velcro.Just an idea.

LINERS/VELCRO
Re: LINERS/VELCRO
No! but I have one concern if the liner slips the velcro will possibly do more damage to your skin than stainless steel/ Of interest I have a Tolly and the Waist belt liner is not glued but U shaped so it clips on and off. However the shield liner WAS glued and like you I have had to revert to elastic bands to stop it slipping off and exposing the hard steel.
I have had the belt 3 years and I had to replace the waist liner as I used cream to stop sores where the liner stuck to my skin, but the cream softened the silicon liner and it started to split.

Re: LINERS/VELCRO
the best liner is to not have one.
Heavy stainless steel with a rolled edge is #1.
Everything else is just a compromise.

Chastity...fun to wear...horrible to have as a name!
Re: LINERS/VELCRO
What do you consider "heavy"? Are you able to do a rolled edge without a commercial machine shop? How flexible is a waist band with two rolled edges? I have been using 1/8" material for my waistbands and am considering perhaps increasing that but I am unsure how well I will be able to do the bending necessary to get a good fit. I suspect it will be a lot of bend and try and bend and try.

OOoooooooooooooooooooo
1/8 thick sounds dangerous.
what happens in a real emergency?yes it could happen.how the hell would you cut that off?

Re: LINERS/VELCRO
Removal in case of emergency: Put a 5-10mm steel plate between the girdle of the Belt and the wearer's skin, then go to work with a Dremel moto-tool with a diamond wheel.
If the Belt is secured with a conventional brass-bodied padlock, hacksaw off the bottom centimeter of the lock case and manipulate the remnant of the cylinder with a screwdriver.
Different use for velcro: Place the velcro on the outside of the girdle of the Belt, and the opposite kind on the inside of a short skirt, whereby the short skirt attaches to the Belt around the Lady's lower torso, leaving her midriff bare.

Re: VELCRO
Velcro tends to get kind of manky (and that is just in my fencing armour)
YKK have another similar system using hundreds of little micro-sized nylon mushrooms on either side It lasts long and holds tighter and sheds sweat and water better(I guess pee too) and being nylon rather than Polyester is bio compatable.
