Flak vest


Recommended Posts

I can't seem to find any vendors for the flak vest part of the soft goods. Any ideas where I can find one? Preferably in the United States.

Steph Mortimer makes them using the t-shirt method and is in the US. Otherwise, not a whole lot of US-based options.

While not in the US, there's KriptonTop on Etsy. He makes really nice flak vests. Just make absolutely sure to select FedEx shipping.

So I did the t-shirt method and once I had it in the right size I pulled it apart and used it as a template to make one out of thicker material. I’m pretty rough on my stuff when I get dressed and it is holding strong!

Here is mine after I used the t-shirt one as a template. You can see I kept the sleeves from my t-shirt one. The photo is before I fixed the Velcro on the front lol

Shouldn't it be black on the flak? Or are you doing a different build? 

Somebody making a Snow Scout?
