Looking to replace the straps on my Assault II. Looking for for comfort and straps that aren’t overly heavy. Thanks
Molle 2 military surplus shoulder straps and waist belt (very common mod). Not light, but the added weight if it adds comfort makes the load feel lighter.
edit: I've ran the straps straight to the stand and also ran the straps to the molle 2 plastic frame and then attached frame to the stand. The frame adds more weight but is more comfortable as it allows a natural curvature and space between your back and the structure. Straps to stand wants to straighten your back in a weird way that can cause soreness.
edit 2: If you go the Molle 2 route, I would watch a good video on how to install them (I think I have one saved I can send you). I'm pretty confident in saying that 90% of all people will do it wrong the first time without help (especially the lifting straps).
