Hey everyone. I managed to solve the vest issue. I went down to Walmart, and bought a standard grey sweatshirt. I bought one size smaller to make it a more "solid" fit. Also, I bought 5 feet of industrial strength velcro. I know many members are opposed to using velcro, as was I for awhile, but it seems right now to be a more practical way, and Im using it now as a trial-test run, and can adjust or change if need be. It turns out to be surprisingly stronger then I thought. My plan is to sew on, one side of the velcro (the cloth side) to the sweatshirt to make it stay on. The other side of the velcro, has a sticky side. Kinda funny, I tested it with my hand, and had trouble getting off of me. So as of right now, it seems sticky enough to stay on to the plastic pieces, however, I am not totally convinced how it is in heat and other elments. Well, here's a update pic
