    Exo Multicam Hip belt , O>R> Flex - Tex II , Kuiu Ultra Merino SS Tee

    They aren't as soft as the First Lite short gaiters and they arent as stiff as a cordura , my impression is that they would be quieter than knee high gaiters but since I've never worn them in the field I can't say for sure . I believe the are made in China , they are covered by O.R."s Infinite...

    RTIC Coolers.. Cheap Yeti Alternative

    Pretty hard to find any info on the first rotomolded coolers , the only thing I could find was Pelican had smaller medical coolers out years ago , for organ transport , and those were the basis for today's larger coolers .

    Zebra light battery 18650 failed

    The Obtronics I use are made with Panasonic cells , they are rated for 500 cycles , don't think I'd live long enough to test that , I've charged them 4 times in the last year , they last a long time per charge .

Meat shelf and hip belt pouches would be my suggestion on accessories to start with , although the slurpee stalker is great for...

    Does Exo Mountain Gear ever have sales?

    Yes , the belts are easily changed if you need to go up or down a size , i just went from large to medium with mine . There were some good improvements from the 2014 version to the 2015 version , the floating lid (on the 3500) , slight changes in the belt , material for the lining in the bag ...
