Witness Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I just borrowed this image from norcalscout on the second page of the soft armor forum. See how there is a flap on the top of the pouch? if you do not have velcro on yours (you did not say where you got them) add a strip, then get some sticky of the other side and put it on the inside of your chest plate at the bottom. You can then attach your pouches to your chest armor with the velcro. I'm sure there are other posts here show it, I didn't look around long.

I've got my pouches attached to the cummerbund via velcro. Is that bad?
Witness Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I did not catch that one. I've got my pouches attached to the cummerbund via velcro. Is that bad? As long as the pouches sit against your chestplate bottom, there is no issue. If they float somewhere on your stomach, that is bad©.

Ducman82 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 i sewed mine to the vest , then used snaps on the bund to attach the whole thing to the chest plate.
