We get this question sometimes – How best to use the Z Clips – There are many way to deploy the Clip!
Z Clips: They can be threaded to one side or to the middle of the clip to shorten the distance needed to make gear fit tight.
• Left shows it in the middle – just insert and rotate to the middle.
• Right is on one side for more reach.Webbing can also be doubled in one side of the clip to make it very tight for no slip applications.
Also- you can use a razor knife to make the Z clip a one sided clip- just cut off one side.
