Hi All,
I am just setting up my harness and have purchased some webbing from a local backpack manufacturer. It is pretty stiff but not like a weight belt. My keepers aren't holding - as I figured - anyway it was the most stiff I could get locally and I was anxious to get started. I am able to hold the d-ring keepers in place if I follow a different patter thru the keepers, however, I am unable to do this for the keepers that hold the shoulder straps in place in the lower slots of the backplate. I have read some conflicting posts about the prefered webbing material. Some say weight belt stuff others say they liked the softer better.
I am hoping to get a little more discussion as to what people prefer. If you prefer a softer material please let me know where you got it from. Thanks.
