I have a question about the elastic on the v54 snake eyes web gear. Mine seems to have stretched a lot. is there a way to undo the stretched elastic? can it be warped up and shrunk?
Also what purpose are they supposed to serve? |

I actually just removed those straps completely from my SE cause I didn't see any point of having them.

There are plastic tabs that hold the straps to the vest. I removed them shortened the straps and glued them back in.
Straps can be used as part of a rappeling function or to keep him from falling out of his vest during a SPIE extraction.

Thanks everybody. I understand now. I'm guessing the length as it was built is necessary in order to remove the web gear without overstretching the elastic. i'm gonna dwell on this and decide on my preference.
