Vests vs. Packs/Harnesses

[Winter]

I know not everyone agrees, but if you are running a remote line then you are not playing to your full potential. If cosmetics trumps function, then remote is great. If function trumps cosmetics, then avoid the remote and learn to be ambidextrous

This.
I used to use remote lines (and still do occasionally), but you're effectively limiting yourself when doing so. You're stuck in one side of shooting, and trying to swap sides in a blizzard of paint is not a good idea. I'm all for realism, but when it starts to affect my gameplay, it's a burden, not a blessing.

Upgrading to a Dye Tactical Harness in a few weeks =]

I use the Tippmann 4+1 harness for regular small woodsball but I think I would need a vest if I were to play a big scenario game. On my harness, I only utilize the tank pouch and 2 pod pouches. My brother uses a vest and utilizes the tank pouch and 2 pod pouches. He says he rather have the weight on his shoulders than his waist but I think the vest gets in the way when playing simple 2 matches woodsball and back to the car. My brother has complained about a few things about his vest. Its too hot, its a pain to take it off and put it back on. My Tippmann 4+1 harness is very sturdy on my waist and the pod pouches are horizontal so I can reach it very easily. If I do play a big scenario game, I would definitely want a vest to carry a radio, camel water pack, extra paint pods, maybe a few paint grenades, and a place to keep my wallet and keys securely.
