The picture above shows what I am referring to. I am thinking of wearing something underneath the robes that increases my chest size so it closes the gap between the helmet and the robes.

I remember reading a tutorial on these forums about someone making a "foam collar" of sorts to push up the robes underneath and eliminate the helmet-robe gap.

I'll try searching for it later and post it if you haven't found it yet.

Thanks. That gives me an idea about using a padded chest proctector like the ones they use in baseball.

Hi. I had same problem and seamstress made me a foam collar that sits nicely under my robes. It goes over the inner robe and looks a bit like grid iron footy shoulder padding. Feels great and lifts my shoulders considerably so there’s no gap and I look more formidable.
