Well, after weeks of debating with myself, I finally just broke down and ordered a Recon.

I guess you won the debate! You will feel that way after you get it.
If you guys are just getting a Recon, you owe it to yourself to try the shock cord belt. It’s easy enough to put the original belt back on if you don’t like the bungee.

Don’t forget to try flipping the plates also. I run mine with them flipped from the factory orientation.
Just spin the plates on the webbing 180*. Like when your seatbelt buckles used to get a twist in them. Then adjust the two panels so the one with lineman’s loops is on the inside. It makes it more comfortable in my and many others opinions.

I discovered a mod for the recon today- I threaded an adjustable strap(a replacement for a Petzl foot ascender) through the plates in the slots that bridge rides in and was able snug everything up nicely. Pic please? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

@TCaltagirone actually made this one.
Can you share the ETA on shipping? Are these in stock? I've been dealing with a Mantis for a couple seasons now and am contemplating pulling the trigger. I thought I wanted an H2 but this appears to be another good option. Thanks!
Not sure yet. Got an email today about what size I wanted. I also requested to buy an additional half belt so I can potentially replace the buckle with a different no sew buckle like Nutterbuster did. As such, I dont know if my order is representative or not.

Did you ask about sizing? Or did he proactively reach out after getting the order to go through options?
Thanks for sharing. I've got an email to Mark. Pretty sure I'm ordering regardless but was curious.

I got an email from him about sizing. However, I had already emailed right after placing my order to ask about an additional half belt.

Does that affect the functionality of the lineman’s loops and molle webbing.

I just tried it this afternoon. Having the lineman loops and Molly on the inside was weird for me. I didn't notice a difference in comfort, but it's so easy to twist the panels and see for yourself that I'd encourage everybody to do it
The lineman’s are still accessible. The Molle might be covered idk I don’t use it.
I twisted the webbing today and it’s way better for me. I was having trouble getting the upper half snug especially for walking and climbing but now it fits my 31” waist like a glove. The molle is unchanged but it does effect the linesman loops but with the way they linesman angles up it’s not a problem. Check out the video posted above. I haven’t tried the shock cord belt though because I think with my sticks and platform hanging from the sling during the climb will be too much weight and pull the sling down? Plus I haven’t felt an issue with the stock belt.
