Hello fellow TX brothers! I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed before, but i'm in the market for upgrading my armor.

Upgrade 1: GLOVES
Right now, I'm using some old school gloves that I've had since I can remember. Although they work extremely well, I've noticed in a couple of my pictures that my skin is visible because the gloves tend to ride up after a couple of minutes trooping. So, I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for some gloves that preferably include a strap rather than just slipping on.

Upgrade 2: SPEAKER
So a lot of fellow troopers recommended that I get a speaker system so that I would be able to interact more with people (considering I'm one of many "class clowns" in the group). A fellow brother in the So. Cal. garrison recommended a company here in San Diego that provided something like this:

He rigged it to the back plate and just kept everything well hidden. I'm thinking of going this route considering that it's local but if you have any other recommendations, that would be great. By the way, I did consider something in the helmet but I've noticed that it's not that loud....

Upgrade 3: UNDER SUIT
I'm using Under Armor now but would like to know any favorite suits you guys use (I'm 5'7 at 160 lbs.).

Thanks for all input

P.S. if you are getting rid of any of these items or have any special runs / deals going, let me know! I just want to get all this done before Comic Con :D
