Silent zipper pulls – cord wrapping

I’ve seen many examples of wrapping the cord around zipper pulls to make them silent – but it will be really silent, if wrapped from both sides of puller.

The only restraint – cord must be thin enough to come through the hole three times. So 550 cord is inappropriate.

 

 

Loop with tri-glide adapter for every pouch to be Matroskya pouch

Make every pouch 4 (four) PALs wide a Matroskya pouch! Just make a simple adapter and install it on soft clip:

Scalable body armor concepts – mine 2¢

Personal armor today become a subject of an intense hype. Speaking about coverage, let’s keep in mind mobility. Especially, pelvic area is a challenge to designer. 

One-piece soft clip – modelling

Concept picture in previous post seemed unclear, so I made a paper model of one-piece soft PALs clip.

As you can see, PALs configuration on the pouch (two-space-one-space-two) is rare to meet, but the idea easily suits the widely known config – two-space-two.

One-piece soft clip for PALs attachment

It (five inches long) is compatible with specific PALs setup on the pouch – two-space-two, commonly found on Maxped pouches and some other manufacturers. See illustration:

Though, the longer version (7 inches) will be compatible with another PALs stup on the pouch, never found on any pouch: two-space-one-space-two. I’ll make some for testing purposes in future.

Update – above the waistline warbelt setup

One is less reliable, two are more reliable. So – just run two straps on adapter to two D-rings on each side:

To clarify it, I’m worrying more about reliability of clips on pouch, than the durability of D-rings.

Above the waistline warbelt setup

Currently doing nothing but playing around some weird deviant concepts of loadouts.

To make and old-school ammunition belt with modern modular pieces of gear.

Single vulnerable D-ring can be replaced with adapter as Maxped D-pouch, but it increases overall cost of solution. Would be better to replace it with paracord loop or two.
