I think I'm happy with that and not going to go for 100% accuracy to GB1 or GB2.
But does anybody know if there's a way to make the hard plastic "quick release" belt buckle actually quick-releasable? At least on my pack it's very hard to open. Obviously I could replace it with a different buckle, but it would be nice to keep it screen accurate but still easier to open.
Don't know, but I would say to be extra careful about releasing it, since mine snapped
I'm not sure if it's a common thing, but mine was SUPER brittle and snapped in the first few days. I replaced the buckle with a parachute clip.
Obsessed since 2011, serious since 2020.
