Recently bought a Camelback so I can have a drink during games, but it uses a smaller version of the clips to my assault vest, anyone know where I can get some adapters?

 
Post a picture please, so we can understand what you mean with "clips" xD

 
Is that the hose clips to route the hose around your vest and you may want MOLLE clips around the vest or the mounting system for the actual CamelBak?

If it’s just the routing then the easy option is zip ties or strips of double sided Velcro

Or swap those 1" buckles for 1.5" ones.. So that you can attach your camel to other rigs ;)

 
You should have done the other way round..

Now you have a vest that can only fit THAT camelbak instead of a camelbak that will fit onto multiple vests..

I'm going to make some adapters when I get chance, quite happy with that rig, comfortable, breathable, plenty of pockets, it's the DPM operations vest so good enough for what I need.

 
I really doesn't matter much what way around you do these things, you can buy all sorts of ITW side release buckles in every size for literally pennies each at various stockists of raw materials for tac gear.

 
Unless the straps are ‘stretched’ to keep it flat to you then a clip on camelbak could be bouncing on your back and could be annoying (it would be to me)

I can highly recommend a visit to your local haberdashery shop where whilst attempting to be too sexist the ladies will be helpful in converting it for you or advising on what to use to de stitch and resew suitable clips

I recommend the latter

They clips on my vest are on adjustable straps so can get it nice and tight, took the vest to my local alterations shop, quoted a fiver for the buckles fitting so can't complain at saving me trying to thread the sodding needle lol.

You lose on a man skill (it’s not girly to sew when you consider how pathetic it is to not be capable, you just do it with man stuff)

But if it gets the job done and works without falling apart then you’re on a winner

With it baring a fair bit of weight full of water, I'd rather have some faith in the job lol, never have been good at sewing
