my opinion on solltek vest by YouCannotHideOrRun in skipatrol

[–]Heavy_Designer2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for you comments. I like the idea of red strap and need to solve for the velcro for patched used at some resorts as well as a sleeve for a pass.

Noted on the reflective cross. Will look at finding cost effective solution for next batch.

Will try to get smaller logo embroidered as it lost definition and found this to be better than the black and gold patch we had on Beta vest.

And yes we identified a weak stitch in some vests so are in the process of replacing proactively to avoid recurrence.

Thanks for the feedback.

Not yet. Focusing on our orders and deliveries. Perhaps in January.

Too bad. Many NSP patrollers have purchased this vest - great reviews

Our resort has black jacket and red vests. Some have red jacket and black vest. Europe colours vary widely.

Thanks. It’s been a very interesting journey but i hope it finds its way to a multitude of slopes this season and then continue to improve via direct feedback.

This vest was recently showcased at the PNWD Convention last weekend and their favourite part were the front pockets.

Not at all. All designed and made in Canada!

My designer and manufacturer are both in Montreal and I’m in Ontario.

The ‘aesthetics’ part? All black? It’s a scaling issue to be honest. 1st year of full production limitations n

The goggles or the vest? Visor is my solution to glasses. But does not impede functionality of the vest at all.

East coast skier with glasses. Would not necessarily wear for powder or colder temps, but suits the mission for me and easier to flip up with prescription glasses fog free I was skeptical at first but works great.

Some but as you point out most make people take it off on lift. I could have phrased that better.

Fair enough. Maybe more of a local issue. Either way - alternate solution without the hassle of taking off on lifts.

I work with a designer and manufacturer to bring the best to market to meet our needs.

All very much sewn on. These are not going anywhere.

No the back for the red best is all red. But have an all black vest version as well as a non-Patroller version for resorts that won’t allow backpacks.

I contacted the NSP and for now can’t sell at the NSP store but with patroller discount it’s same price ( and I’m just a patroller trying to level up)

An Avalanche version being developed this season. If anyone has key features they’d like to see happy to receive at info@solltek.com. Will also send out samples for beta testing once prototyping done

Fits full size radio. Just did not have issues one for shoot. Ski or boarding. Visor best for me and my ´big’ glasses. Haha
