White Shoulder (Chest to Back) Elastic ?

[DarSec[TK]]

I see in the RS measurements and in the proper elastic tutorial that the white shoulder elastic going from front to back is 45-47mm, which is about 1 3/4 in. I have found 2in, which seems a little big, pretty much the width of the shoulder strap armor, and 1 1/2 in, which seems maybe not quite wide enough.  What is everyone using?

  A more experienced veteran may confirm or correct me, but I have read in a few build threads that 2 inch is acceptable. 2 inch white, is what I am using for my build.

I went with the 2 inch, Darrell.  I would give you a word of advice, though... Before setting the snaps in the elastic, double over the ends (about half an inch) and either sew or CA glue them together.  This gives you a stronger area to attach them, and will prevent them tearing out from lots of fastening/unfastening.
