elias123 0 #4 February 17, 2007 What is "gutter gear" if I may ask? Never heard of that before."In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zing 2 #5 February 17, 2007 Ultimately, it came to describe any rig with a front-mounted reserve. Previously, it meant the military surplus rigs, usually sage or OD green, that were modified with low mounted D-rings installed for the reserve, as opposed to the (at the time) spiffy sport rigs with high-mounted D-rings. A hard opening on those low-mounted D-rings could, and did, bounce one's heels off the back of their helmet. The high-mounted D-rings were much less punishing to the body.Zing Lurks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,048 #7 February 18, 2007 Hi Elias, Back in the day when any given load was made up of a mixture of gutter gear & piggyback rigs, gutter gear was far more commonly called 'conventional gear.'
