It certainly seems that with a few tweaks he could have a home run.You should share your opinions with Mark. I tried convincing him about the bungee belt until I was blue in the face. He just wouldn't budge on the concept.
Hey, it's his product and he can do as he pleases. All I know is this will be my 4th season since I invented the bungee belt and I'm 100% positive that it's what the Recon needs. It's nice that the mod is cheap and easily changed back to webbing if someone doesn't like it.
