I'm not tempted.

I actually quite like the 'put it on loose and pull to tighten it up' scheme although I might change the waist strap for something with a weight-belt style clip on it. It's not even common, just like changing the AutoAir get bandied around as 'most' get changed but most don't. It works, you don't ever use it, so why make grief for yourself?
