Yeah - we use our leaves for lateral stability...no coils/links for us. frown

People with Orbit Eyes like the extra flex relief...it really does let the pack twist with less strain on the leaves...works great.

The Revolvers do a similar function, as the central joint can articulate to relieve leaf strain as well.

Having BOTH is overkill, as either provides more than enough stress relief when the pack is articulated.

I looked at both options...the Orbit Eyes are not really DD type solutions, unless your mileage is not too high (I drive ALOT)...and they'll wear out under that kind of use a bit faster than I wanted.

Some freinds did get them though, and love'm.
