Premium Members Fabian Roesler Posted November 11, 2023 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I am selling my beloved Ultra vest. It was heavily used and after changing the plastic back shield twice, because it always broke at the shoulder part, due to the bending, I changed it to heavy leather. I made the back shield myself and it never let me down. It fits even better and nothing will ever brake again. The pads are in rough shape, but have some more years in them. Always had them cleaned after projekts. I throw in some spares, like those snowboard ratches, screws etc. The shoulder straps are both locked with a screw, so you have to stick your head through, between them, which works fine and they never come lose again. You can change it easily by taking the screw out on which side you prefer to enter the vest. Also included is a paded bag from Rock Steady Gear. Vest fits perfectly , arm can be stored in the middle of the vest. Protects everything quite well, though I wouldn´t use it for flying the gear around. The vest is in overall good working condition. The emergency exit mechanism is not there anymore, but I never trusted that system anywhere. So when you are working close to a swimming pool, have someone spotting you. I always imagined myself trying the peel of all that heavy velcro and fummbling around to get out, while that heavy camera drags you down... Better not to have a false sense of safety. All the other vests don´t have that kind of a system anyway. I had to change one of the tightening knobs. The replacement works quite fine. What can I say, it´s my favourit vest but had to change to an Exovest, because I had a Lipom grown at my back. The Ultra Vest would put some pressure on that spot on my back which caused a lot of trouble including surgery to get the thing out. It always grew back so I had to change. Doctors said the pressure is partly causing the growth. Tried the Backmount vest, same result, so I ended up with the Exovest. I don´t have the same feeling of controll with it as I have with the Ultra vest, but it works. Vest is located in Munich Germany. Local pick up or shipping in the European Union prefered but I also consider shipping overseas. I really don´t have a clue about shipping costs, but will find out when I know where it goes... Asking price is 2500,00 Euros Best Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
