pm07[TX] Posted Wednesday at 08:10 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:10 PM I know there are a ton of threads on FISD about strapping but it's hard to get a good cosolidated search result. I'd like to hear some preferences/opinions. My idea was to go with snaps/webbing for the body, then elastic for the arms/biceps the way justjoseph63 did it. Several other Garrison members suggest elastic for everything, since the elastic stretches with the body. I've also seen armor with the elastic just E6000 directly to the armor, no snaps etc. Link to comment
DarthBobo[TX] Posted Wednesday at 08:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:18 PM I used a mix of elastic and regular nylon straps. Used elastic where I thought it would be needed like for the shoulder to bichep. I used snaps in all cases, no direct glued straps or velcro. Allows for replacing the strap more easily if needed. 1 Link to comment
Dropkick[CMD-DL] Posted Wednesday at 09:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:50 PM I'd agree with snaps for the body & elastic for the shoulder bells. Also elastic for biceps & forearms 1 Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DWM] Posted Friday at 03:23 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:23 AM On mine, it is all elastic and Velcro. The only place I have nylon and Velcro is the part that connects the chest and back plates and then there is an offshoot elastic piece with Velcro that connects to the shoulder armor, it looks like a T. 1 Link to comment
