I have seen these before, but actually looked at one last night while in a big box store last night. [ATTACH]5817[/ATTACH] In theory, it would compliment my winter training, as it's currently geared towards my scheduled backpack adventures next summer. I was thinking it would be better then wearing my pack, as it would be less bulking, and distribute the load a bit better then my pack. Has anyone used these vests? Any thoughts or opinions on them? My backpacking pack is 25-35lb, so I'd probably opt for the 40-45lb range vest.

Hello all, I'm having problems with an older Pacemaster ProPlus ii. It's been giving me an error code 24 indicating that there is a belt frozen error. The motor does not keep a steady pace at low speeds and will turn off on occasion (triggering the error code). I have lubed the deck and I still see that this happens, though less than before. I have learned that the problem may lie in the motor controller (Aerobics Inc. 9501001 RevJ) and I can find replacements for $350-ish on the internet. I can replace the controller, but am worried about doing so since the cost is high and that there is no guarantee that this would solve the problem. Any advice?
