I need your help
Im trying to order a bag strap for my father for his birthday on monday, I'm gonna pay for it to be overnighted to me tomorrow, but I need help with which bag strap length I should get. I know this has been discussed a million times but I just haven't a definitive answer. My dad is 5'11, 270 pounds. Should I get the shorter 61-62 inch or the 71-72 inch one?

Re: I need your help
It's easier to shorten a long one than lengthen a short one
Re: I need your help
definitely 61"-62"

if you go with wade's offering, he can send you one unfinished and you can custom adjust to his height and size

Re: I need your help
The height sounds like a 61-62 would do, but his build will effect things. I'm 5'10" but I have a big stomach which eats up much of the length. 72 is probably more than I need, but 62 just isn't enough. If you have real doubts, longer is better because it can be made shorter... as previously mentioned.
