strapping for centurion


Recommended Posts

My question is does it have to be 1in strapping?  Only ask because i finished my shadow trooper and have high rank of "Specialist" and this is how i did the strap system on it.  Not including the shoulder straps. This was only pic i found of strap system.  On the one side i used 3in wide  were the 6 split rivets conect front and back. rest was 1in strips

would this be exceptable for centurion ??

Nothing on the inside matters except the shoulder connection webbing colour and size. But, since you didn't explain where you are concerned about strapping size...

I am pretty sure interior strapping does not have to meet any specific guidelines. As long as the outside of the armor lines up like it needs to.

FYI, many Troopers go with the 2-snap method instead of only 1 snap.  With this change, we also go up to 2" strapping to fit 2 snaps per end.  The 1-snap method only really needs a 1" strap.

 

Agreed with the others that the CRL does not have any requirements for the inside strapping, except for the shoulders!

Personally I think the 2 snap method is overkill and actively detrimental as that removes any ability for your straps to swivel on the snap, which can cause all kinds of snags and bunching up of the strap when you're moving around.

 

I guess the matter isn't so bad due to the very tiny forces involved, but it flawed thinking. People add the second snap for extra strength when they could be using higher quality snaps and and double up the ends of elastics where the snap sit instead.

It's common on all Legion CRLs to ignore what can't be seen. Yes, there are a few exceptions, but then we have the RP costume designation too, and that's like herpes - just won't go away.

 

That said, I agree with Mathias on snaps. I've tried Velcro, single snaps, double snaps, quick release buckles, you name it. For myself I find his suggestion of one good quality snap with doubled-over or otherwise reinforced fabric where the snap goes to be the best option. Then again, I know guys who have used 100% Velcro for 10 years and still prefer it.

 

So, YMMV.
