Klim takes TekRiders Vest and stamps their own brand on it. 509 does the same thing.

Gotcha. I guess it's all the same stuff when people are referring to " tek vest"

Sort of, that's why I'm confused. Some people could just be using that term to talk about any sort of upper body protection, which is why I was trying to differentiate.

Very possible. I also wear a snowpulse vest Avy bag with the built in armour when the Avy conditions are bad so what do we call that? Lol. I think people are just using that term loosely for everything but they should be called "armoured vests". Tek vest as we discussed has there own trademark brand.

Ding ding. completely agree. It's quick and easy to say. I just call it 'armour'.

All I know is they have saved my ass a few times. I also wear downhill bikers shin/knee pads after a jump went wrong and I cracked my oil tank with my left knee.

Me too! I hit a drop I couldn't see (super flat conditions) and drove my knee into the hood, actually bending my clutch cover, and putting my brake reservoir up underneath my helmet and through my bottom lip. Maybe we should start a Body Armour Thread and stop jacking this Avy pack one.

It doesn't matter what we call it we know what each other means.
Wary used to call it the " impact vest " now its just avy vest.

support@thewary.com they got back to me today with shipping info. I would have liked to get the external pocket as well....

Thanks.
They said I need to order the pocket separately with the $70 shipping fee. They will credit that shipping cost and put the pocket in with the original order for the vest.
UPDATE: Refunded the shipping cost pretty fast. Too bad they're going out of business. Seems like a good company to deal with.

Mine shipped already...oh well the sled carries most anything else I need anyway.
Hate to see them go out of business.

Why is keeping the shovel and probe inside and issue?
It will be definitely be secure. On my Snowpulse, I have to make sure the probe is secure or stored inside. The shovel and handle are easy and I can't see it taking any longer to retrieve them from the Wary vest.

Granted the only pack I have used is one with both the probe and the shovel on the outside, I've just come accustomed to their placement and the addition of the zipper would take me some getting used too.
I'm intrigued with the vests though, many people tell me they are the way to go as far as comfort and a heck of a lot more stable.

Got my Avivest yesterday!
I was concerned about the amount of room for storage when I bought it since I didn't see a lot of info on the website. It has more room than my Snowpulse.
Spent a little time last night loading it up with my gear. I'm looking forward to wearing this.
I have to make a trip to the scuba shop to get the tank filled.
Checked their website last night and they are sold out.

Right on, got mine last week. I have no issues with the storage either. The quality seem top notch.
I loaded it up with my gear and put it on , feels much lighter than the old bca packs. Yea just need to find a scuba shop now.
