Much thanks for the design for a back and front mounted vest in the book Cody.
A question though - after reading the book and seeing the new design on this website, have you found that the back mounted bar that swings around help alliviate the strain on your hips/back? In the old design, it attaching bar ran parallel to the back, but in the new design on this site, you have it run parallel and then turn 90 degrees so it is now perpendicular to your back. Has this made a major difference in stability and comfort?

I haven't fully tested it yet because I am waiting on some parts to finish my sled. The main reason for doing the wrap-around bar was so that it would be easier for me to mount up the arm to the vest. Before it was a bit awkward reaching back and hooking it up. The one weight test I did do with the new vest felt no different from my old vest. The weight is still transferred to the same spot in the back, except now there's a bit more leverage acting on it. So perhaps I might feel a bit more pressure in the belt area. We'll see.
