Re: Belt Free VestQuote:
Green products are for fairies. Grow a set of stones. I am about to start a tire fire here to try to get this global warming to kick in. It still gets below freezing in the evening.. Seriously. I like a leather bags with a belt and suspenders. Seems like a vest would "ride up" when leaning over or whatever. |

Re: Belt Free Vest
Seems like it would hurt the shoulders after a while, but then you would probably get use to it...kinda like wearing overalls the first few days.

Re: Belt Free Vest
i got my dad one for his birthday. He loves it. I have the stronghold belt, but the vest is pretty sweet. I would definitely recommend

Re: Belt Free Vest
A couple of hours with a belt
on my hips and the sciatica will literally bring me to my knees. A vest has been a godsend for me. Might not have the problem now if I had switched to one sooner.

Re: Belt Free Vest
i think a vest would be okay unless you have to do any overhead work but i stick to a canvas set of bags with a padded belt

Re: Belt Free Vest
I've just started using one of these. So much more comfortable than the tool belt. I'm amazed at how much stuff I end up with in the vest & haven't noticed the weight like I would have with the tool belt. I'm absolutely converted. http://www.skillers.com/Skillers/

in canvas, and it's great for me. Looking for something cooler for summer though.
