Try it on how it comes and go from there.... cut one strip....try it on...cut one more, try it on etc.... Make sure to leave a little wiggle room though for comfort with the "quick changing system it has" (little tip)

Set the micro adjustment to the middle, and if cutting more than a single notch make sure you cut fromboth sides. Common sense you would think, buit when I did mine i only cut from one side

Cheers guys for the tips;) Roff that step-by-step link was very useful especially, with the detailed photos. Strap got delivered today and I finished sizing it. I have quite small wrists 7-inches and it was a bit troublesome doing it one by one, having to keep taking out the four pins, but I guess it was better safe than sorry. Also, cutting the rubber proved to be quite hard as well, even though I had a very sharp knife, I couldn't really get a clean cut, and the result is the strap ends are uneven. Though not a big deal since you can't see them when installed into the deployment. Really like the deployment, much better looking than the tang and buckle and more practical as it's much easier putting on/taking off the SA now. Before (used my U-Boat box as support since it's soft ): After:  As you can see I had to cut almost all the holes, only three left to accomodate my slim wrists. Well there goes the resale value of the strap lol |
