Installing cross back straps on vests with hip pad mounting

20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The cross back straps attach by slipping under the existing shoulder velcro at the rear of the vest
  • The bottom ends of the straps require drilling holes into the hip pad section
  • Photo documentation of the installation process is available in related forum discussions
  • The attachment kit includes velcro and mounts under the velcro breakaway patch at the back

Depends on

  • The exact mounting position may vary slightly between different vest models such as lightweight versus master series versions
  • Installation appears straightforward but no official factory instructions were readily available from the manufacturer
  • The discussion references photo documentation but those images are not fully preserved in this text
