Wrap-around Vest/Backpack

[polarcat39]

I am looking for a wrap around style vest that has an integrated vest.

Like the HighMark by SnowPulse. Does anyone have any suggestions that aren;t $800? I do not need the avalanche air-bags.

We sell these....not sure if it is what you are looking for. Kinda confused when you say you want a vest that has an integrated vest....do you mean integrated protection? Like a built in TekVest?

I ran into a guy last year toward the end of the season (he had about 1100 miles of riding with it) he didn't like it. He said it was always riding up on him in front and pulling the vest up into his neck.

He was going to sell it and go back to his TekVest and regular backpack set up.

I got one of these, available thru rocky mountain atv. I had my buddy sew a flap on the back to hold my shovel blade. handle and probe go in the hydration pocket perfectly. Its made for dirtbiking so a chest protector fits underneath nicely if u wear one. I really like it, I carry drinking water on my machine to keep the wight off my back in winter. In summer I use the hydration reservoir in the vest. a larger camelback reservoir fits in it just fine. In my opinion the only thing you really need on your person is your avalanche tools, and survival gear so this works good to keep the load light.

Yes that is a great option as well! We sell those too!

The HIGHMARK by SnowPulse VEST has a Removable Airbag System...... I don't know if there is anyone that would sell it without the airbag and deployment cable & handle. But I so, without those and the cylinder it would cost considerably less. I've worn a lot of different airbags and backpacks over the last few years and the vest is BY FAR my favorite due to the way that it fits me. All of the organized storage and other features are awesome as well. I do not have the armor installed. I wear an EVS Snow Vest under my jacket for protection. I go this rout for the full torso protection. I find the rib protection the most beneficial from my experience.

I was a big fan of the Ogio Vest as well. Then I switched to a Snowpulse backpack. We sold a few SnowPulse Vests this season and that's the route I'm going next season. The best of both worlds. I am going to keep my backpack just in case I'm not a fan of the vest. But I have a feeling the backpack will be for sale come mid-winter.

Another good option Matt, but the vest would still be around 300 or so dollars, and like you mentioned, know body stocks them without the R.A.S. system so it would be hard to find somebody who would pull the airbag out for ya.

Iffin you are looking for cheap and just want to carry shovel/probes, water and some minor gear, this Dakine vest might fit the bill. They've been dropping it on WhiskeyMilitia.com for $60 off and on last couple days.. been real tempted to pick one up for myself just for spring riding to ditch the pack.
