Join the ranks of the gear whores- throw caution to the wind and just get it!
I bought one of these last year based on comparison reviews alone vs the standard USGI woobie. Will see what it actually is worth once it gets colder around here, but as far as weight and packability- it's small[ish] and very light so... I like it already.

But the same folks seem to have a pistol and ccw holster (either IWB or OWB) designed to ride on the regular ccw in the pants belt. Am I the only one who sees this as an issue? Am I missing something, or are these folks not thinking that far ahead?
Any suggestions to work around the issue, as I agree if the bag is that heavy a waist belt should help?
Youtube is a great resource. For learning what NOT to do....
As I'm sure you're aware, most folks out there "reviewing" things, especially in the "prepper/bugout" have likely never worn the thing out of their living room, or perhaps around the neighborhood once or twice, and likely never in the weight or configuration they *say* they plan on using it in....
The fact that you've thought it through enough to catch the fact that a waist belt is no beuno ICW a CCW setup is a good sign...
I've literally heard people ask how to deconflict a pack waist belt with a battle belt....
Per sling bags and shoulder bags.... It's already been said but let me reiterate anyway.
Load the thing up and then walk a ways in it. Do a bit of running as well (especially all those planning on using it as a combat BOB...).
Then go get a normal pack and live happily ever after.

There's some truth to that....
