Mantis belt padding

[drew]

Added some padding from some old leftover parts. The belt was digging in on me on long sits. I love it. Super comfy and doesn’t add to much bulk. I like how I can tuck the ends in to keep out of the way too.

Drew what piece of equipment did the padding come from?

It came from an old chest mag carrier.

Cool, that's pretty sweet. I'm still waiting on my mantis but I could see myself having the same issue as you during the warmer months when I'm wearing less clothes.

That’s a hoot idea. Would loosening the belt some not have cured your problem?

I like it.. So you cut the pieces of your carrier.. And sewed the ends correct..

Pretty cool idea! I just loosen the belt a bit when I'm set up but this would work if you don't feel safe doing that.

I just don’t like at all how the 1” webbing feels. It’s like I’m wearing a weird belt made of string. That’s really why I did it. I wear it pretty loose unless I’m carrying 14 snickers bars in the sys.

Great idea! I got some left over shoulder pads from a tree lounge harness that I may try----If I can remember where in the world I put them!!

Excellent. Love the Yankee ingenuity.
