Clothes modification for E.C

Post by Fotisa2006 » Sunday 30 January 2022, 16:33

My clothes dont last more than 10 sessions. Especially pants rubbed at hip/butt on backside turns. Has anyone made any mods like sewing cordura fabric on the rubbing points? I suppose there are not on the market any special durable clothes.
As for gloves the only i ve found are thor gloves and i m waiting to arrive from U.S

Hi,

I've seen many ECers add some sort of flexible resin to reinforce their clothes....when done carefully, it looks very neat, almost part of the original garment design.....the method for the gloves is the same viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13486 ....I tried it but using a locally-available product and my result was nowhere near as nice...

Thank you for your replies. It would be really interesting if the swoard team could develop in cooperation with some company clothes especially designed for the needs of Extreme Carving like the developement of the EC 12 boots with Upz. The sport is growing up but in my opinion some people are disencouraged from having to made mods all the time. Hopefully the boots problem was solved (i already ordered mine ec 12 and i m really curius to see if they will have any difference than my modified deeluxe free 69)
