>>2196473I'm just wary of putting heavy stuff around my hip level again that can rub. If you've got a belt that has some padding in front of it - it's probably fine though. I wasn't great at keeping a good walking rucking pace so I would have to jog to keep pace. And that jogging created a lot more movement and the rubbing and blistering.
Those russian Smershvests look pretty nice but they are crazy expensive.
