2006Vests forum
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
