NATO strap - under wrist fold

Stumbled across this alternative technique for wearing a NATO strap for an arguably cleaner look.

 

Slip off the under-strap...

...align the the retainer with the buckle...

...slip the strap though retainer and buckle...

...fold the strap under the retainers. That's it.

I like, and often use this as an alternative especially on anything that has a bubble back or more generally already sits high on a NATO

Of course there's also the more permanent removal of the underneath (short) piece and using the off cut to make a keeper for a RAF style strap. There is this good post over at WUS with a decent example and tutorial. It's as simple as it sounds though.
