Alianin Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I'm seeing conflicting information and I'm confused. What exactly is called for for size and type of strap under the arm? Quote
BikerScout007 Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 "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 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 So the same as the front/back shoulder gap pieces and drop box straps? 1 Quote
Dart Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Technically, the drop box straps are 1.5". I thought the requirement was made smaller than 45mm for the chest/back junction? Quote
Alianin Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 And the confusion continues. The CRL on the 501st site says 2", though I guess that could be outdated. Quote
Dart Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I know there was a discussion earlier this year about amending that width. I thought it had been changed. Quote
BikerScout007 Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 "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. Quote
