For Ed or others who have used the Royal Robbins 511... how does their sizing run? Do you have summer and winter sizes to allow wearing over bulkier outerwear, or is there enough allowance in the one size to accomodate various layers? Thanks, Wally

<<<<If your going to put all that stuff on your back, might as well put on a backpack. >>>> Need i say that a backpack is much heaveir and does not distribute weight as evenly around your body? After all this is the whole point of the belt. Charles -KC8VWM

the only thing you are MISSING is your Beretta 92 and mag pouch. My "go belt" has one... Baretta 92? what is it exactly are you trying to imply here? After all we are trying to be of some assistance to people in need. Are you trying to be funny or something? Charles- KC8VWM

>>>a properly assembled web harness and buttpack has much less impact on your center of gravity than a simple backpack. As a result, it is less fatiguing<<<< Tell you what.. if the military thinks a web belt is better for mobile combat situations are you an individual to argue with that logic? Charles- KC8VWM

>>>oh, instead of the 7AH cell, did you know that a 4AH 12v cell fits PERFECTLY into a 20 round magazine M16 ammo pouch? With a rig that was made to conserve receive current, the 4AH will last long than a 7AH. <<<< Good at least you are now thinking... Charles -KC8VWM

If the intention is to be a "useful" respondant in the field then I would suggest you be ready to respond. Dont bother bringing your candy floss to a disaster situation. Charles- KC8VWM
