jokerfish Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 What do you guys use as strapping for your packs? I have been using 1" webbing, but it kinda digs into the shoulders. Not a huge deal, but it does get uncomfortable. I was at wal-mart today looking for some padding to slide over it, but they had no idea what I was talking about. A buddy suggested buying a school bag and cutting the pads off that, but it seems like kind of a waste. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliusthegreat Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I aksed friends if they had any old "school bag" and I got lucky and got black ones. No need to buy a bag. I think most use the school bag method for their packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even adjust the size...that's wonderful practically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 A slide two pieces of foam on my shoulders under my under armor. No more digging in. Or you can use the ba kpack straps but it tends to interfere with the armor a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I use old backpack padded straps. They are comfy, complete with sternum strap. Just cut them off the pack (undo the upper stitch seam to utilize the full length of the strap material), then wrap the straps around the upper pack frame and pop rivet the strap shut. The lower end of the strap can wrap around the lower side of the frame. Make sure the strap sits under the lateral flat bars for the seed trays so that it supports the weight of the pack.
