The Armour Archive

All right, which way do you prefer to hang your leg harness?
Currently I hang my gothic legs from a belt by a single strap centered down the side of my legs. they seem to slide/twist to the outside of my legs. What about hanging them from center front?
How do you hang yours:-)

You gotta hang em from where the balance.

Hanging them from th front will only make it worse

I hang my legs from a belt with a strap that is riveted to the center (or balance point) of my leg harness. Basically if I look down, I see a strap that hangs down and is lined up with the middle of my foot.

If you hang them at the side, right below your hip-bone, you won't be fighting the straps with every step you take.

A position worth taking, is worth defending.

Like Gundo, hang your legs from the hip.
This will keep your legs from sliding up and down.
Like if you bend over with the forward mounted legs your knees will be below your knees.
For all type of mounts I still reccommend a knee strap.
Follow the rivet line on the outer side straight up, That will be your mount point.
If you use loops you will want a strap or cord
around the back of your belt line to help keep from shifting.

Happy fighting

I hang mine at the hip too. But I also have a smaller strap just inside of center on the front to keep the legs from rotating around. They have a tendency to rotate to the outside. I also have a strap around my leg just above the knee and one just above my calf. My armour doesn't rotate and they stay against my legs.
