I had the SOTech SAR Vest. It was a good vest but I found it heavy for what it is. The fit was big for me, I am 5'10" and adjusting it for my height took some time to get it close. It was never right. It is not a vest you want if you are wanting to use a pack. It has a built in pack that will add excessive bulk between you and your pack. It did carry everything I needed to treat a BLS patient along with survival gear and a sidearm. In the built in pack you have a sleeve for a water bladder, for comfort I found it better to not use the sleeve. I replaced it with an Aero-Vest from True North Gear. The vest is lighter, works better with packs and for me is a lot cooler than the SOTech.
