Just unwrapped the stuff last night. It is being washed today, and I'll wear some of it shortly and report back. The vest definitely is cool, and I am glad I ordered it.
Now I guess I'll need to get stuff to go in all the pockets, right? LOL

Very comfortable gear. I especially like the long and short sleeve shirts, which I had not worn before. Lots of cool features.
Vest is for carrying civilian second line gear. Cell phone, Surefire light, OC spray, ASP baton, PDA, multi-tool, firearms (if legal) and spare ammo, beverages in the left and right back pockets (holds 1 l. Nalgene bottles very nicely), survival or med kits, glasses, etc.
Glad that you approve.

I have found that the Collapsible 32oz. Nalgene Cantenes fit in the vest pockets quite well also.

What is the purpose of the "utility strap" above the back pocket? Or the uses you've made of it?

These pants were originally designed for climbers. The web is for hanging Carabiners on.

Works good for a holster too.

For those of you who don't know...
Royal Robbins (the man who started the company) is a famous rock climber from the 50's-60's who developed alot of the trad climbing methods used today. He made the first ascents of many famous routes here in the US and overseas, to include the first free ascent of Half Dome in Yosemite.

I wore the pants to work today. LOL
They are very comfortable, but the pockets take some getting used to. I am used to putting my wallet in my back pocket, but it rests against the back of my thigh in these pants!
With all these pockets, I definitely am going to need more gear.

As an attorney, I am surprised that you carry a wallet.
I though you guys just took whoever's was closest for walking around money, and had an armored car carry the real bucks.
Seriously, I carry a Credit card wallet in a front pocket, and my larger wallet in a cargo pocket.

Q: How can you tell when it's -really- cold outside?
A: You go out and see a lawyer walking around with his hands in his -own- pockets.
