How do you like the new IOTVs? I'm a fan, but I like to hear froms others.
Do you find this valuable?

Yes, I absolutely love the IOTV. A lot of guys don't, but most of them aren't wearing it right. I used to have an IBA, and hated every second I wore that damn thing. The IOTV when cinched up tight against your belly, carries almost all the weight on your torso rather than all on your shoulders. The neck guard is a lot less inobtrusive and doesn't rub your neck raw. I love the IOTV! *For various reasons* I will be turning in my vest very soon. I am half tempted to keep the damn thing though and just pay for it. (I already have a set of plates for it ;)

There is only one downside to the IOTV, it does take a tiny bit longer to put on than the IBA. However, it has a quick-disconnect that let's it fall apart when it needs to come off fast.
