Verdant Chest Armor and 2H Weapon Clipping

I've posted this before, just want to throw it out again, the bags on the belt seem to always overlap a 2h weapon regardless of character or weapon type, and it looks bad. Is there really a need to have the bags be separate from the rest of the armor? If they were a static object on the armor versus being rendered separately?

On a side note there is a lot of clipping on smaller characters with the verdant wings and verdant helm, my horns are stuck in the trees!

I absolutely adore the whole Verdant series, thank you for them. Maybe a verdant melee mtx someday?
