This is my first packer, and I love it so much! I wear it all the time and it looks and feels right on my body, which I think is very important. I'm 5ft4 and about 140 lbs. The packer has a very nice weight and also looks realistic. I sewed myself some packing pouches to keep it in place, and they are working perfectly with this packer for my very active lifestyle. The packer is very easy to clean. It is also showing no signs of wear, which makes me very happy!
