One-handed stuffsack cord locks?

Hi Johannes

All sorts of bits and pieces of hardware and fabrics etc can be easily bought from OWFINC, Seattlefabrics, and others. They will ship overseas too. Google those names.

Cheers

Hi Roger,

thank you for the suggestion. I had checked out OWFINC's website (and the others) before posting and was hoping for some advice from the experience of people who have already played around with that sort of thing in real life. Maybe my question it too trivial.

peace,

Here is exactly what you are looking for.

FECWS – with slot on each side for tie down with flat draw string Black, Desert Tan, Foliage .34 .22

Some thin webbing or drawcord to hold it to the seam and some 1mm drawcord or 1/16"shockcord. The zpacks stuff should work but will stretch a lot so almost all of the cord will be hanging off the cordlock. Should mean that it seals very well, but could have limitations i hadn't considered.

You can easily use any cordlocks this way, attaching them with a loop that goes through the same hole as the drawcord. This is the way it has been done before all the special cordlocks appeared.

thank you! I´ve rigged something up that looks like it might work.

Yep, to echo Jan, securing the cord lock by the same cinch hole is the way to go. A lot of mil/tactical gear use the ITW Cordloc you pictured in this fashion, and in my experience it works better than using the auxiliary slots.
