What keeps the shoulders on your shoulders?

What do you use?

 

[Spartan 110]

im gonna use web strap w/ buckle attached to the top of the chest armor

at REI we sell some straps designed for backpack repair but they would work great for armor too. They come in several sizes and you can get them for about a 150 pennies for the size for arm coverings.

Web strapping and buckles work, but you can also try hook and loop Velcro fasteners.

working on it, give me a minute

ok, here ya go. This is the 24 inch strap, but you can cut it to what ever size you need it to be.

:shock: Those are pretty fancy looking for Webstraps, I like.

I usually buy mine around 10 at a time (from teh evil Walmart). It took me 12 for the entire upper body of my H1 suit. If you're doing the Mk VI, you should only need around 6-8.

I bought 12 meters of webstrap for $10 or less. and bought 28 buckles for $12

the main killer for price is the fact that it is all together. If you buy webbing, some buckles, and fasion them your self, it would be a little cheaper, but REI is pretty close to whole sale costs on this stuff, so for the money, its a good deal. The straps are strong plus you get the lifetime satisfaction garuntee, if it breaks, they replace it.
