I like the idea, not sure on the practice. I really disliked getting lines caught on the things hanging off my vest and either being stuck or having the item become air born never to be seen again. but having easy access to a gps, radio, map and stuff is also important. After some time in the USMC I learned to tie things on, but this also ends up being tied to a sheet or two when you least expect it. Some nice zippered pockets sewn into the all in one vest covered with slippery stuff is what I am thinking with a peice that hangs down to under your butt to reduce any line attachment. Now someone is going to build this and make lots of money, and no one will believe I had the idea. Oh well, at least I will be able to buy it without all that sewing.
