Adjusting the Exovest socket block height to a lower position

What the thread found

  • The Exovest socket block can be repositioned to sit lower by adjusting it to the level of the waistband, as shown in the equipment manual.
  • The socket block can be mounted in a bridge plate configuration that positions it over the wearer's center of gravity, and this adjustment can be made without removing the vest.
  • Multiple mounting positions are available for the Exovest socket block to accommodate different preferences and body geometries.

Depends on

  • The discussion does not confirm whether the manual-recommended lowest position fully satisfied the original poster's preference for even lower placement.
  • No custom bracket solutions were identified in the thread despite the initial request.
