Scenario Paintball TV: Whiskey Two Four Radius troubleshoot/quick-fix

The Radius Stock Class Gauntlet made by WTF is a pretty badass piece of paintball equipment.

If you do any digging on the net you will find tons of satisfied customers who have shopped at WTF, including Radius owners. However, the only problem I have seen crop up with the Radius is one that has been mentioned by numerous users, indicating something that is not a fluke, but a design feature that needs a fix.
The complaint is that the cord that forms finger-loops can get pulled out and re-threading them is 'a bitch' /'pain in the ass'/'other expletives indicating difficulty" (descriptions taken from the net).

Obviously I did not want this to happen so I set out to find a mod to fix it.

I worked up a relatively quick troubleshoot. This is a beta-design and a much better solution could probably be constructed using tiny 'tubes' or sheaths made from elastic webbing. I did not have that material.

You will need:
- Radius
- small pieces of fabric (black or something that
- Sewing material (thread, scissors, needle)

I used tiny strips of camo fabric that I cut from an old jersey. I took the middle loop of cord and wrapped a strip of fabric around it and the corresponding inner side of the outer cord loop adjacent to it. Then I did this on the other side as well. I kept these fabric tubes fairly snug, but also made sure the cord can slide inside of them. I then stitched the fabric tubes up the center multiple times and reinforced both ends, effectively binding the outer finger loops to the center one.

Again, this is a temp-fix. A cool solution and one that WTF might also consider is using a tiny elastic tube/sheath of fabric that does the same thing. This could be done during the initial threading process (thread the cord through a tube, make the first finger loop, when you double back for the center loop, thread through the elastic, repeat on the way out for the third loop).

I don't really want to untie and re-thread my entire Radius, nor do I have elastic loops near to hand, so for now this option will work for me. I'll update here if there are any problems or further adjustments.

Below I have some pics of the mod. It is not beautiful but it works. I also do not notice the fabric or find it uncomfortable (the pics make it look much more substantial than it really is. You won't even feel it).

I also performed a 'stress test' where I pulled on the cord with a tension that would have normally pulled the finger loops out through the hand-cover. The system held and none of the loops pulled out.
