In reply to dmor9:
I would try both on in a shop if you can,
The new one is cut a little different to the old one.
I use the old one for work at a wall i work at; and hate it as it bites into my leg. The new cut still bites but not as much.
I'm also in the small size of a size Small and the front gear loops drop kit into my crotch and are unusable, were as the new one slides gear away and have now become usable to me.
Have a look at the new sama too, love it but the rear gear loops on the small are tiny.
Hope this helps.
