Since the Trout Fanny pack is made to accommodate
all waist sizes, the belt webbing is extra long and the end of it can
stick out and get caught on fly lines. This instruction helps you finish
the vest for your waist size and to eliminate the unfinished belt end.
First, rethread the webbing through the buckle and tri-glide so the
webbing end loops around the inside of the center post of the tri-glide
as shown in the illustration above. Make sure the webbing goes through
the buckle so the buckle blade faces outward. Next, put on the vest and
adjust the buckle for the correct length to fit you while wearing a
medium weight of clothing and waders. Once you have adjusted the buckle
for an average fit, move the tri-glide about half-way between the buckle
and the pack and adjust the length of the webbing end through the
tri-glide so it lies even against the outside webbing. Now you need to
sew across the two layers of webbing about an inch away from the
tri-glide with a needle and thread or sewing machine to lock the webbing
end. You then can cut off the excess webbing length and melt the cut end
of the webbing with a lighter to keep it from fraying. With the
tri-glide centered, you should now have enough adjustment to make the
vest larger or smaller for you!
