The thing is, yes they add weight, but to someone who is right at the back of the pack (or in my case running to catch up to the back of the pack) the extra weight means nothing.

But the ease and comfort using them brings more than makes up for it. I can now take the vest off, grab what i need out of the back of it and out is back on without stopping, and without having to look down and try to get the hooky things working.

So any time I might loose across the whole race is made up for by not having to stop and spend time trying to get the hooks to talk to the loops and agree that they should get together.

I've got some more hacky stuff to do videos on and given that the weather has turned to shite again, it might be a good time to do them, instead of running hehe
