Army surplus straps

[Systmvayne8]

so i have noticed that many ppl suggest the straps from http://www.armynavymilitarysurplus.com/index.cfm?action=cat.prodInfo&productID=1554&categoryID=1019

but has anyone actually got them and see how they fit and feel?
havent seen any posts with people saying yay or nay.

While I bet they would look cool on a bag when I think Military I think utility, not comfort. But all the military stuff I have seen is from when my dad was a Green Beret in 70's, they might have gotten better.

yah im getting a camo bag so it would look pretty sick. the main point for me is balanced weight, so i think these will do fine for my purpose. i dont really have time to be out golfing all day so long days wont be very frequent.

Yeah I have the camo revolution bag.

bet those camo ones would look sweet on my bag.

Holy Crap, you can't beat that price!

I think I remember reading in another DG forum, that these are quite comfortable.

I have an army surplus store not far from me. I think after the next paycheck I'll stop by and see if they have these there.

$8.99 for the straps, $8.31 for shipping

Still cheaper, but I would spring for the Innova Backsavers for $24.99 with free shipping that pay $17.30 for these. just my opinion.

yah i would go to local surplus store to pick them up for sure. they may not have these exact ones, but my local store has ordered them and im gonna pay the same price as listed on the site.

If I could get them local that would be a different story. Less than $10 with tax sounds better

I hear of a lot of people using regular golf bag straps.

yah... but this is irrelevant to military straps... not being an ass

Please give us a report.

Yeah, I think I'm going to stop by my local surplus store next time I'm up north and see if they have them. Thanks for the heads up. 9 dollars sounds a whole hell-of-a-lot better than 45 or whatever is that Fenix charges.

Yea, I am fine with the extra price for my Phenix ones the comfort cannot be beat. Maybe not even the durability by those army ones. Who knows I have never tried them or know anyone who has.

Yea another for a report. It could be a nice cheaper option for many players looking into straps.

*Update*

Was by the Army Surplus just a little bit ago and decided to stop in and see if they had them. Sure enough they had them in both black and olive drab for 13.99.
I bought a pair in black and just put them on my bag. They work beautifully. I don't know how padded the phenix or other DG specific suspender straps are but these do have padding and feel good. I'll report back after playing a round with them, probably tomorrow.

I got one of the camo bags too! I saw that you can get Quad Shocks with the same pattern. I dont want to drop another $40 just so my straps match though. $9 sounds way more reasonable!

 

[Rbuzz9]

would these work on a Fade Tourney bag?

 

[mickas]

honestly, for dualshocks i went up in the attic, found an old golf bag, and ripped the straps off it lol, works great, those military straps look like they would have some insane durability, and for the price worth a try, if they work out i might have to look into some
