Colleagues (or just knowledgeable people), help me with advice on duty belt, who has experience with new lightweight wearing systems? I have almost 12 years of experience, and all this time I have been carrying a classic duty belt with a full load. Lately I began to notice how it affects my back and hips, especially during long shifts. I saw that some have already switched to lightweight systems with weight redistribution (through straps, or a softer belt), plus there are new materials, like high-density nylon. But it is unclear whether the reliability and availability of the equipment remain at the same level? I do not want to lose efficiency for the sake of comfort, but I feel sorry for my health. Who tried it, share your experience. Is it worth switching or is it better to wait until the technology "comes to mind"?
