Speed seat MOD I did. I now use it with a molle waist belt and ditched the vest.

I switched over to the Ol Tom chest pack last year and preferred it over a vest. Made a few changes for this year.

If you haven't seen it check Moonshine Leather Works facebook page. He redid a Dixon vest for a guy that is beyond cool.

Not to hijack this thread, but can you switch the boxcall and thermacell with each other on that Ol Tom Chest pack to get the box call away from my right side where I shoulder a gun? And did you find that those two attachments made it uncomfortable as far as bulk when sitting at the base of a tree working a bird? Looks like a great pack, but their web site says that weighs 5 pounds, which has to be a mistake. No way that weighs 5 pounds in my estimation.

Side pouches can be switched or removed all together. They do add bulk. I removed one last year and will be removing the other for this season. A couple times last year while working birds the pack got in the way. I've added two additional buckles so I can remove the pack from the harness with minimal movement if I get in a bind. The pack with the new harness is a little over 2 pounds.

Thank you for the feedback - I appreciate the reply.
