I second you Quaid what a magnificent vest .. i am using it for a month and half now. i was on set shooting a film last weekend with a sled approx. 45 pounds did not feel any pressure on any place of my body the weight is soo evenly distributed on your body with the Exovest that you can wear it all day long. and one more thing is that once you open that blue latch all the vest relaxes on your body even you can go to sleep with it without noticing the vest on your body :P :P .. great job Chris fawcett and Tiffen steadicam.
