I just got my new belt from Tower Tech, and its wonderfull.  I had been 
using the ONV belt.  At first look I thought jeez how in world am I 
going to get into it.  And its so FLIMSY.  But once I got in it and used 
it all weekend at least 10 hours on the tower logged.  I am a very happy 
camper.  Its comfortable and I feel just a bit more secure knowing that 
if I had a problem it would catch me and not break my back or let me 
fall out of it.

It doesnt have pockets, which is something I have to order from Steve.  
There is no way to make my other pockets fit since his "belt" part 
doesnt allow the loop type pockets to attatch.  I assume Steve's pockets 
have snaps or some other way to loop them around the belt.  

Check it out you can't lose, since I believe Steve will allow you to 
return it.
