My partner and I are buying another belt for me. FS seemed like an obvious choice before, but their redesigned ones seem to have some major issues. 🙁
On the old ones, the front shield was assembled with smooth welds, but on the new ones the front shield is held together with bent metal tabs. These look much less comfortable, even with the liner (which seems like an afterthought).
The secondary shield is held on with outward facing torx security screws, which can be easily removed.
They also used to offer a variety of front shield designs, but they no longer do.
So, based on @Ines wonderful write up, I know that the old model (FS01?) is great for long term use. Has anyone had experience with long term use of the newer model? Do the tabs cause problems?
