Safetymanual Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Anyone try to swap out their side straps? I'm currently running an off-white setup but I want to have an all white setup too, because....why not? I thought I could just add some buttons to the ends of the strapping but I then realized that there's a slit that the strap goes through. I thought I could cut the small piece of armor the strap covers but I really don't want to do that. I could also widen the slit too but I want to bounce ideas off you all first.

Chopper Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago How is your strapping currently set up? If you have velcro on both sides of your side straps, then you should just be able to pull the straps out. If yours isn't set up like that, then you can rig it that way and then you can remove your straps whenever you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safetymanual Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago Actually that's very do-able if I use velcro. I'll just need to widen the slits on the armor just a touch. Thanks for the idea! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I always have had just a single length of webbing for the chest/back strap. Makes it so much easier than trying to sew it onto the back plate and it's actually what they did on screen, too. I'll also add, if you're going to be swapping between a clean/dirty look, make sure you also swap out the webbing on the belt and have white/natural pouches as well as joint covers on the tops of the shoulder straps.

Yup, that those covered as well. I just broke down and bought a second belt for this. I'll have another set of pouches too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
