My Exovest The lock moved out of the point.

Hi Sopon,

First release the over-centre latch, then slide the rods out, and clean them and the inside of the lock with alcohol. Then tighten the nut on the inside of the latch by ⅛th of a turn. If that’s not enough, try another ⅛th  if it still slips, call, FaceTime, or WhatsApp me on +31623918492.

All the best,

Chris Fawcett

I came on here to post about the exact same problem except mine has now Snapped around the clasp after getting this vest repaired for other defects just 2 months ago. I’ve tried everything and this problem happens constantly at the worst times (I.e. last year Live stream at Coachella it gave way while on stage)

on a job now and It’s embarrassing.

I’m sorry to just jump in here but I’ve lost all confidence in this vest and not sure what to do. I’ve been flying maybe 35-40lbs max and not abusing it and it still happened.

Marc,

I appreciate your reply!

However, If this is interfering with your work, it’s a serious issue and deserving of your frustration. I hope we can sort this out quickly. I’ll let you know what I hear back. You are based in LA?

Yes I’m LA based, Tiffen is about 25min from my house. Thank you for understanding.

Yes want it sorted quickly as I’ll be out in Coachella Valley again all of April doing the Live Stream and need to be able to rely on the gear out there.
