TORSO STRAPS
Fold each torso strap accordion fashion and secure it
in its hook-and-loop fastener as follows:
1. Lengthen the strap until only three or four finger-
widths of webbing have not passed backward
through the buckle slide.
2. Turn the buckle under, flush against the webbing
(Figure 47)
3. Make the first fold beneath the buckle (Figure
48) and continue folding the strap accordion
fashion (Figure 49).
4. When all the webbing is folded, secure it in the
hook-and-loop fastener (Figure 50).
Make sure to position the folded strap so the
fastening strips wrap around it at the location of
the buckle release tabs. This will enable you to
pull the strap free without tangles, and have the
buckle in your hand, in a single motion.
