Back in the 70s I tried one of these largely because it was given to me as a gift by the importer at the time.
It DID distribute the weight of the kit you were carrying very evenly, but it was dorky and with larger, heavier items in the pockets it did tend to take on it's own intertia and sway about as you walked. Mine was a sleeveless number and had ventilation slits but I only used it once or twice and then turfed it.
