Acidburn50 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hi everyone, I’m about to start the process of sewing my pouches and wanted to know what the opinion is on the best way for attachment to the cummerbund? Is it attached with Velcro? And if so where at on the back of the pouch, behind the attachment tab or on the main part of the pouch towards the middle?

Stroker Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Yes you use the Velcro like you mentioned and attach the tab to the inside of the bund. I sewed mine in the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Yep yep. Here's how mine is set up -- they're attached with velcro on the top tab of the pouch, and attach to the top of the bund. Optional, you can also sew a small square of velcro to the pack of the pouch and bund, which keeps them from flopping around all over the place. Up to you though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenyone Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I think this boils down to how you want it to fit. So engineer it for what works best for you. I made my bund in such a way that 2" of it tucks underneath my chest/back armor. So I put 2" velcro for the pouches on the front of the bund with corresponding velcro on the pouch attachment flaps. The opposite side of my bund has 2" velcro as well with corresponding velcro on the undersuit. This keeps it from slipping down from underneath the armor without the need for any other kind of suspension system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank75139 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I just velcroed mine to the inside of the chest plate. It places no stress on the bund and allows it to stay in position. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acidburn50 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 thank you for all the ideas guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRex75 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I’ve attached mine with both said methods above. (under the armor with Velcro and sewn/velcrowed directly to the bund). I like the sewn method much better. I had another scout help align them up before sewing them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
