SPG Clipped on Chest

Anyone clip their SPG to their chest ring rather than hip ring? We found it much easier to check and it was still out of the way once we moved it. Just curious.

I often clip mine there unless I am slinging a pony.

When I wore a BC I ran the HP hose through the arm opening and clipped to the chest D-ring. Clean and out of the way. Easy to read also.
Now that I use a BP/W I clip it to the hip D-ring.
I know what my gas pressure should be so it is not a big deal.
Whatever works best for you.

When I first tried a bp/w, I was pretty paranoid about not being able to unclip and check gas, so I kept it on the shoulder d-ring. It was convenient and easy to read (makes sense, because that's where you would hold it if you unclipped to look at it). I've since moved it to the hip d-ring, and on a properly configured harness and with a little practice, it's really quite easy to unclip, check, stow in one motion, and it really stays out of the way there. I now prefer on the hip.

Like many of the others have said, I used to clip off to the chest D-ring when I used a jacket BC. It was easy to read, and kept the SPG from dangling. Since moving to the BP/W I clip it off on the wasit D-ring.

I use a BPW.
I have a 26" HP hose and clip to the left hip unless both hands are occupied. When using my camera I clip it the the left chest d-ring. A little "fuzzy", but it works.

I was sure someone was going to tell me why it was a bad idea. Good to know since it is so much more convenient there.
