  1. I've dealt with that company before. They used to be affilated with Cross Keys in NJ back around 94-95. Then Warren (the owner?) moved out on his own and for a while was operating out in NJ somewhere. Bought a new Vector V-2 and a Triathalon from him. If he's still running it, he's a good guy; won't sell beginners or novices any gear that's out of their league and offers plenty of guidance and or information. Prices were competitive but not rock bottom.
  2. Likewise, I 've been pricing new Vector containers and have run into an issue with my reserve size dictating a rig size too big for my main. One possible solution I've heard: buy the rig to fit your reserve and then have padding sewn into the back of your main compartment in the rig. This decreases the excess space for the bag and you don't have to downsize to a smaller reserve. The drawback? 50 or 60 bucks (I'm told) to have a rigger modify your new rig. If any one's had this done, let me know because I'm considering it.
