What is it about the G5 you don’t feel comfortable about? Have you been tested while walking with it to see whether it keeps your saturation levels at or above 90%?
Do you find it too big and heavy? Sone folks use a small cart to help carry it about. Personally, I prefer a OxyTotes backpack and often wear it backwards so I have access to controls.

I have a Rov 6(replaced G5) and I bought the backpack and it definitely distributes weight better and feels less heavy than on the shoulder strap. I hadn't thought of wearing it backwards to have access to controls, good idea!

I do find it heavy. And I don't feel I get enough oxygen with the pulse flow. My levels definitely drop when using it and it takes a while for them to go back up.
