JakePollock Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Just checked out the Klassen FX site and after looking at pictures of the vest, I'm curious to know if there's still a quick release built into the vest (like on all front mounted vests)? I know it's one of those weird safety features that hopefully no body has ever needed; but it also seems like a nice piece of mind. Any thoughts?

Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted April 24, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Jake, The Answer is no. Seriously now... how many stories did you hear of people actually using the quick release... how many people do you know that actually had to use it? If you have to contemplait to use it, you shouldn't be there in the first place... just my humble opinion... I only know of about a handful that actually had to use it... the most famous would be Garrett's Rhino story... I know of more stories where the operator got even in bigger trouble and got entagled more after he pulled the "Parachute" release. Or stories of accidently released Vests etc. If you check the guys that are doing it for a longer time and still are using the CP style Front Mounted Vest, you will see that most of the Quick releases are disabled... to prevent just that, that you end up with all your working gear around your hipps as the Hipp Velcro never worked to anybodies satisfaction... It was always slipping exempt when you needed it it would stick to you like a piece of lint... The 2 leading Vests the PRO and the DSD/Klassen do not have a quick release system, both could not come up with a satisfying solution... There were some experiments with explosives to separate the Socket Block from the Vest etc... But out of obvious reasons got abandend...
