Thanks, @ckossuth! My guesses were correct on all counts! Now that you've calmed my troubled mind, I might get a good night's sleep. LOL

Yeah it is. Like to see the legs attached the other way.

I'll take a couple photos on my lunch break, if noone else posts any before then.

Here's a photo for each leg strap attachment point.

@g2outdoors will the Kifaru hunting pockets fit on the tethrd mantis? they look like the same as the sys pouch.

Why no elastic band "keepers" on the Mantis for excess leg straps? Simple mod or add - just wondering what the thought was. I hate the excess just dangling. Am I missing something?
@g2outdoors
What brand ropes does Tethrd sell on the website and is the splicing done at manufacturer or outside 3rd party?

G2 go ahead and use my Large as a test subject for the elastic band installation

I'm with you, but I find those elastic keepers don't work all that great in reality. At least not on my kestrel and other packs that have had them they don't. Usually there's not enough webbing for the elastic to keep them secure, and they just end up dangling anyway. I don't mind that they're not present.
Looks like another great use for all of those extra castration bands that we all have now

I don't know the brand, but they are factory spliced.

I’ve had some keepers that worked extremely well. They were the Velcro style. If memory serves me right they were on the evo leg straps. Anyhow they were small, quiet and secure. I need to find some for my packs. I never like cutting the shorter because you never know.
