Hi Dara,
Thanks for taking the time to share your suggestion! Using the webbing toggle on the Silo you can point the picks in either direction; the webbing goes through the head and around the shaft. While pointing them either direction has advantages and disadvantages, the issue is that the head of the axe dosen’t stay put in the toggle at all, so that the tool becomes suspended from the velcro and swings around either way. I’ve been experimenting with adjusting the webbing loop (since is actually on a steel slider sewn to the pack) and am getting mixed results. I’ll make an update to the review when I get something figured; a DIY project might be required.
