I liked the swing suspension a LOT. I like the new Bucket-Strap suspension WAY better. This is the best tin hat I've ever worn. As soon as I have the time, I'm gonna write up a comparison of all of them, starting with the old 6-point Mac-T (which I am not old enough to have actually used in the woods but I do have a specimen for comparison, which will prove valuable) and ending with this generation of Skull Buckets. This is an evolutionary product, not a revolutionary one. It builds on both the strengths and weaknesses of previous generations. That's why it's good. I am a fan.
