Upshift Tested: 2020 Klim Arsenal Vest

[@BruceSmith-q7t]

You forgot to mention that it's called Arsenal for the pistol holster in the right front pocket.

What an ingenious piece of equipment. That is a beautiful vest and just a smart vest. Ingenious!

[@UPSHIFT_ONLINE]

We have had quite a few of them over the years. Excellent kit.

Vest looks well thought out. I don't think it's a good idea to have tools right behind your spine though.

[@UPSHIFT_ONLINE]

Fortunately, you can omit it or not use it. And there is a water bladder between you and the tools just to point out the detail.

I like Klim gear, but I'm not a fan of any vest for trail riding. Looks good for fly fishing tho. ;)

[@UPSHIFT_ONLINE]

It's definitely a personal preference thing. It certainly works well for us in most cases. Especially with camera equipment etc.

i live in uk and ride bmw r1000xr usually with a leather jacket..is this item suitable or to hot for the UK?

[@UPSHIFT_ONLINE]

It’s not terribly hot actually. It’s designed for use offroad in hot conditions.

[@MrPunderson]

It looks like pretty much every pocket is larger than the previous iteration of the vest. Is that true?

[@UPSHIFT_ONLINE]

The pockets on the front are the same volume. They did add a pocket to the front. The rear velcro pouch now has an expansion panel for more volume.

Sounds like a hint of Scot in that accent
