MUSA pants and shorts replacement elastic band?

[Edwin W]

Has anyone replaced the elastic band on their MUSA pants or shorts? I replaced with climbing webbing, but it has no stretch. I would love to hear of a tried a true source, as it is hard to see how thick the bands are online, and I am not sure where to even go in person to find such a thing.

I think it is a 15mm elastic band.

Thanks for any advice,

Edwin, I replaced the elastic belts with non stretch webbing, and much prefer it. If I put anything in the pockets, the elastic belts stretched too much. Steve

The silver lining to gaining a little weight is that my MUSA shorts stay up better now. :)

Edwin,

I've tried two replacements, both 1". One was from Amazon and it was total crap. The other was from JoAnn Fabric and it is perfect! The latter was "non-roll" and after comparing the two, I now understand what that means, i.e. the Amazon one was so thin that it rolls lengthwise, whereas the JoAnn band has ribbing that stops it from rolling or doubling over.

 Here's a link with different colors:

I've also ditched the buckle and gone with a 1" plastic strap adjuster...

Cheers,

Patrick

Thanks man! Got some of that non-roll elastic and it was perfect.
