therealting Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Has anyone managed to source heavy duty shoulder straps that clip onto gig bags (usually via rings)? I find these are often the first things to break on gig bags, and as a result I’m often reluctant to trust them. I’d happily pay a reasonable amount for a really heavy duty strap with clips that aren’t made of pot metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 When I've had such a breakage in the past I've just bypassed the clip and tied the strap to the d-ring using some sturdy cord, e.g. 3 or 4mm climbing cord. No more problem! I know Hiscox Cases sell a strap of good heavy-duty nylon with screwgate steel ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 See if there's any horsey activity in your region. Those that make bridles and the like usually know how to do tough stuff. Worth a try..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 It’s not something that they seem to sell. Quite odd really. I’ve looked several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamg67 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Straps aren't too hard to find, but most have those alloy clips. I just replace them with karabiners or maillons (but then I have a stash from when I used to climb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Try outdoor clothing shops like TISO you should be able to get replacement clips. Or try Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=heavy+duty+shoulder+straps+for+bags&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
