I've been searching the forum using camelback & chest protector as search words & reading for what seems like hours. I have yet to find a good way to mount my drink system to the chest protector.

I've tried wearing it underneath but I don't feel it would be comfortable for long.(straps cutting into shoulders)

I mounted the straps over the back panel of my airframe & the weight pulled the front panel up to my chin.

I remember reading how to do this on DRN a long time ago but of course I didn't pay much attention back then.

Thanks in advance.

You could drill holes in the chest protector and then pop rivet through the nylon straps of the camelbak. Or if you wanted to make it removable you could use #10 nuts and screws or maybe even some good quality(T&B) tyraps. I've seen it done quite a few different ways.

I tried that ( mounting camelback to a CP ) uesd heavy zip ties, held up fine, the problem I had was the weight of the camelback with water kept forcing the front of the CP up around my neck and was uncomfortable; I gave up and went with a balistic shirt under my jersey and wore the CB like normal

Same here...tried attaching to CP but didn't like the weight pulling the front up into my chin. I wear mine under the CP.Also, when going under hanging limbs, theres a chance the drink system will get snagged.I would like to be able to wear it on the outside if someone has an idea to remedy it pulling the front up.
