Well thats simmaler to what i made today, i used a 2" webbed belt that i made with a buckle and 1 single 1 1/4" strap to hold the thighs... ill attempt to make it a "V" style to see what that will do for me, as for being a bigger trooper yes, 6'2" 250 lbs.... im amazed ive been able to get everything else to fit... as for not being able to get enough material... i just dont care for the way it looks with all the extra shimming on the rear of the legs... currently i am using an elastic deal i made with velcro to close the gap... heres a pic
What you are seeing is 3 pieces of elastic sewn together with velcro on the opposing side works VERY well on the calfs but just isnt working on the thighs and that of course goes inside the armor
I appreciate your imput and will attempt to modify my strapping system to follow, any other suggestions are also welcome
