[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 684065, member: 4686"] Can't comment on the lowdrag but have a pretty good idea about the GSII. I just competed in the 24hr Sniper Adventure Challenge a few weeks back. [url=http://competition-dynamics.com/24-hour-sniper-adventure-challenge-2012/]2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE - - COMPETITION DYNAMICS[/url] This is a BRUTAL event where my partner and I covered about 34 miles over 7,000' No. Utah Mountains in 26-1/2 hrs.
