Sorry if this has been dealt with before but there are a zillion threads about kit and I couldn't find the exact one.
When the Bergen is put on and waist strapped, there are two small chest straps to be fastened. It seems to be an inherent fault, but they are fitted to the outside of the shoulder straps which means that when they're pulled tight they cause a rucking of the shoulder straps. Would it not have been better if they'd been fastened to the inside ? Sorry for the dopey question but neither the soldier in question nor I can figure out why it was done the way it was.
BTW, "inside" and " outside " refer to the position in relation to the centre of the chest. Has anyone found an answer ( fix ) to this ?
