Switched last fall and kicked myself for waiting so long.

Those older bags with a padded belt and suspenders worked fine for me for eight years. I went through a full season with the new harness setup and ended up with a weird rash from the straps rubbing in the heat. Swapped back to the old style and my hips don't hurt any more than before.

Took me about three climbs at the refinery to realize the same thing, @young.michael. The harness just lets me move so much faster without that extra weight on my hips.
