Generally No, last neck strap that I saw was on MSA packs 20 years ago.
I hitch my facepiece to the shoulder strap because I despise bashing the snot out of it, and it keeps it cleaner. But that's a minority position it seems.
Drager still makes packs?
Honestly, I was surprised MSA still made packs when I first saw them come around with the G1. EVERYONE here has Scott... My current department is the one exception
My old department was Scott through and through. The old drager packs id seen were shit, these newest ones are fantastic though. Expensive as all hell but comfortable, about the weight of the Scott packs but they sit just a little nicer
Everyone says that about MSA. I see no real difference between any of the modern packs regardless of manufacturer.
I started on Scot 2216s, moved to Scott 4500s, then to the g1. Scott offers comparable though now. And honestly, even g1 to our older firehawks, once it’s on I feel no difference
