**UPDATE**
As we all have some great ideas I thought I would share what I'm doing next. In an effort to make things easier for me and people assisting me getting suited up here is my idea....

Your probably thinking to yourself, what is this now?! Hahaha! So, the last few times suiting up, this part annoyed me greatly. But on my Arkady Flight Suit she has sewn into place an elastic piece that when I initially received it, had no idea how people got that system to work for attaching the hoses. Here is how I originally got it....

Now I Dremel'd off the plastic piece and just left the elastic strap on there, but came up with my own idea. Sadly, it was not a very good long term solution. For one, I had to dangle my right gauntlet off of the Elastic Strap while suiting up. And yes a few times it tapped the ground.

Thankfully no damage to the Gauntlet on those occasions. But I've been toying with this idea for some time and finally got it into motion. You notice the half inch nylon webbing and what looks like a couple notches dug out of it. This was done so the locking D-Ring can easily move about. Without this....it is very stiff and doesn't move that great. The soldering iron was to singe the nylon webbing after my cuts so as to avoid fraying. Just looking to get the Elastic Strap removed and the nylon webbing put in its place....like so.....

I'm looking to have the sewn up soon and will report back with how I feel about it!
