Lancer Chest/Back Side Straps

[Alianin]

I'm seeing conflicting information and I'm confused. What exactly is called for for size and type of strap under the arm?

[BikerScout007]

"2. Shoulder bridge Straps attaching front and back armor should white cotton webbing. Nylon webbing is not acceptable-

Side under arm chest/back straps should around 45mm (1 3/4") white webbing ( off white if using off white pouches/drop boxe straps), but for trooping practicality, place elastic on the ends hidden by the armour."

[Alianin]

So the same as the front/back shoulder gap pieces and drop box straps?

Technically, the drop box straps are 1.5".

 

I thought the requirement was made smaller than 45mm for the chest/back junction?

And the confusion continues. The CRL on the 501st site says 2", though I guess that could be outdated.

I know there was a discussion earlier this year about amending that width. I thought it had been changed.

[BikerScout007]

"Around 1 3/4" was what it was changed to. It used to be 2 inches but that is way too wide, just looking at screenshots. It also helps not to have to buy several different types of strapping.

Correct. It's outdated.
