Katerina Kallergis Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I would like to buy a new vest and before I make my purchase I would like to try out a Pro vest. Is there anyone in the NYC area with a Pro that would allow me to try it out for a day? It may be a hard task considering I am 5'3", fairly small compared to most ops. Thank you. -Kat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JobScholtze Posted November 2, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Take the trip to L.A and let jack properly fit you a vest. There are measured for your body and waiste, so not every pro vest may suit you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted November 2, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Kat, While the PRO vest is not as custom fit as a Walter Klassen, it does need to be fit to the user. You will not get a good sense of its magical properties unless you are comfy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted November 2, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I dunno about that. When i first tried one on it was not a good fit. The waist pads overlapped substantially. It was enough to get a good sense for sure. The one I bought is fitted and much better. Until I got my Pro sled, the vest was my very favorite piece of kit. YMMV, and certainly the more off-size the one you try the less of a sense you'll get. So if it feels very off, it might still be a good idea to get in touch with Meg.

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted November 2, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 My point is that when fitted, it is instantly like having your favorite pair of old sneakers on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
