    Re: Navigator Waste Belt Problem

    I wold give robcollins' suggestion about stitching "behind" the Power Pull a shot. Works wonders--I've done this several times to keep loops from "turning."

    Which would be about the worst thing you could do if that hunting/LEAF patterned gear is used for prey that has natural or artificial night vision. Just sayin'--lots of trouble went into making those...

    Re: Hydration bladder pockets

    I had one on my CIRAS before the quick-detach systems were refined.

    At full price, spendier than a Long Pocket--unless you're looking to migrate to Source bladders. It's not NEARLY as bombproof as...

  13. Re: TAD Gear Stealth Hoodie Knock off? Plz help

    Genuine Stealth Hoodies are easy to define by feel--feels like two layers of materials with different characteristics. I can't articulate it much better than that.

    That's a quick test. To me, they...

    Wow that's a new one. Sounds like BS to me, and not borne out by the durability of the UCP gear I've owned or used.

    Re: Zippy and Xing Live!! Pics!

    Hey Mel thanks for the pics. I like that Xing even more seeing it worn.
