Alice Ruck Mods

Post by getoutatheway »

I am considering modifying my ALICE ruck to use quick release clips on all of the pockets in stead of the snaps and keepers. Also on the main flap.

I would appreciate anyones opinion regarding (Good Idea, Bad Idea) scenarios.

I had a couple of snaps fail......Putting fastex on the two main straps is almost a neccesity....

Fastex on the smaller straps would be nice, but not totally necessary....

Good idea on the main straps. But there is no reason to have them on the pockets. Always carry an extra set also...just in case.
