EnigmaEngine Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 According to the CRL, yes, it needs to be secured in back with 2" wide white velcro for Snow Scout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NegativeEleven Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Mine slides on like a t-shirt and opens with 2" velcro at the neck down to a couple of inches below what's visible under the armor. That way I can put it on myself and not have to rely on someone else to make sure the back is lined up right, like with the cummerbund. I met a much older scout (joined 501st in 1998) and noticed his vest had snaps embedded in the velcro (on both vest and bund) so he could be sure he lined it up. The snaps don't show on the outside. That's definitely how I'll do my next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
