HappyTrooperDotCom Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hello Everyone, For those of you with packs, do you have a tried-and-true set of backpack shoulder straps that you prefer? I'm trying to finish up my pack, the only thing that I'm missing are the shoulder straps. If any of you have suggestions, I would appreciate it. I'm going to start looking on Amazon and eBay. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 My strap broke my first day so I ordered these: http://www.amazon.com/Mountainsmith-99-90004-01-Strappette-Shoulder-Straps/dp/B001A1Q8LI?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 You can also make them out of polypropylene and buckles. Joanns fabrics carries the supplied. You can also go to 5Below and chop up a backpack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyTrooperDotCom Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 wvtrooper, I ended up using these straps from Amazon for $15: http://amzn.to/246cZQR They didn't require any drilling/screwing for attaching. The straps wrapped around the frame securely. Here are some pics: Just pulled the top of the strap through the bottom loop to secure it against the side/bottom of the pack frame To secure the top of the straps, just wrap the top of the strap around the top of the frame Feed the end of the top strap into the first hole in the buckle Bring the strap back up through the 2nd hole and tighten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a screw to hold it on the bottom of the frame and at the top I used the strap's built in webbing loop to route it through. I did remove the male clip since it was not going to be used.

deckard1138 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 HappyTrooper.Com thanks for the recommendation for the backpack straps. I just finished my backpack and ordered a pair. They work perfectly! Real easy to attach without any hardware and they're sturdy too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
