I switched from a vest to an LL Bean chest pack and then converted it to waist wear with a surplus pistol belt. Also gave me a spot to hang landing net with one of those magnetic releases. Finally went to a shoulder strap on the same pack which proved to be the most comfortable. However, I lost the facility for the landing net. Can't put magnets near my chest, as I have a pacemaker. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Hammett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 5:16 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Backpack vs. vest
