thanks for doing the review, I'm sold.
Im still loving mine 3 months later
Commercial sparky here, I've been looking into this, looks like I'm getting one, all the features you outlined are exactly why I want it, great to know it's good! the fact they sell it in hi-vis is so good
Thnx! I have had 2 of these now and still wear it to this day, only gripe is its hot for about 3 months out of the year.
Thank you for the video. Think I’m gonna pick up a vest.
Best review on this vest I've seen, thanks.
Been going back n forth between this 701 and the Atlas 46 saratoga vest..
I bought the atlas first, then sent it back it's heavier and thicker so I'm sure it would be much warmer also in the summer!
@@Warren3carpentry
Damn.. okay..
Was hoping to find someone with experience with both.. I can only compare by pictures.. The Atlas does look heavier and hotter to wear in the Oklahoma heat, but has all those pockets for phone, pads, etc that the 701 doesn't have..
Did it seem to you the 701 was just as quality built and durable under load and just as funtional over all?
@@BouncyThrone the 701 is a very well built vest, however I did have mine replaced once already because the back straps tore on me. I made a video on that also. They had me a new vest in 2 days
Awesome review thanks man!
Hope it helps
Your existing pouches install on the vest for you relatively easily?
Yep went right on!
@@Warren3carpentry Awesome, I'm going to pick up this vest then. I have my pouches/bags dialed in just the way I like them and have very little interest in setting up different ones. Thanks for making this review man, greatly appreciated 🍻
I ask you do you tink vest is better athanasius just the regular tool belt
I bought this for one main reason to start with. That was the pain I was having in my hips from my toolbelt digging in. It's been an awesome vest I will never go back.... however it is almost unbearable hot in July where I live and it can be a pain if you wear bibs in the wintertime. But its all I use now!!
Cause m locking to be the vest so I need to know if that is a good investment
Very good investment!!
How fitting are these vests? I live in north Dakota where i might need to wear something under it. Would i get the size i normally wear or a size up?
I have a large and it's tight. I can wear a hoodie under it but it's tight. Only problem I run into is when I have to wear bibs. Then I can't wear the vest.
What are your thoughts on this setup for more interior work in assuming that’s what it’s kinda geared towards?
Its ok. It has its draw backs and its strengths. I have had 2 of these vests and had to have them both repaired twice do to failed stichings. Its very hot in the middle of summer and a pain when u want to wear something thicker like a hoodie under it in the cold because iys very tight!
@@Warren3carpentryI see I appreciate the response now with interior work I’d be mainly in a T-shirt as I wouldn’t be dealing with the elements and so I don’t think that my atire change would matter too much, that’s not a good sign that they’ve had stitching failed
Especially for something that costs good $$$
Did you have to modify your dewalt pouches to fit? Im shopping for these but i wanna be able to use my old pouches
Nope they slide right on.
Wow that's quick. Thank you for the answer and the review.
Are you still using this and how's your back/hips after 3/4 years with this thing?
@@derpcakesies i still use thus exact setup yes. It makes a world of difference on ur hips!! As far as back support notging really changed for me.
Which size vest do you have? The M/L or XL
They only had the large when I got mine. Mine is a large.
@@Warren3carpentry perfect thank you for the reply was wondering if that size would fit me, sounds like it will with the help in your review
Thanks for the review I was curious if you’re still using the vest?
Yes I am actually on my 2nd vest. First one ripped in the back.
@@Warren3carpentry thanks for getting back to me do you think the Diamondbacks supersedes other brands?
@@ryanmurphy8327 I did have the Saratoga first. I sent it back it was way to thick/heavy for me. Diamondback for sure is much better!
@@Warren3carpentry The reason I’m asking is A coworker just bought the special ops and it’s cheaper in price . Once again thanks for the review and getting back to me I .
@@ryanmurphy8327 never heard of the special ops vest.
So other brand pouches work with the vest? Interesting..I kinda want to buy the vest but if you buy all the pouches you need as well you are running close to 1000 dollars pretty quickly
Yes i use dewalt on mine still! Its hot in summer and its hard to wear if you wear hoodies in the winter also. Keep that in mind. I have since switched back to suspenders because its so hot in the summer. I wear this from time to time tho.
What about in the cold months with more clothes on?
The only thing I run into is if I wear my bibs then my vest is really tight. But usually I wear atheist a Hoodia under it with no problems. Hope this helps.
What's an atheist hoody?
@@natephillips1696 at least a Hoodie ! Lol my bad
@@Warren3carpentry ha lol I thought maybe I was missing some sort of new hoody or something
@@Warren3carpentry I wear a lot of layers during the winter does that mean I should get a bigger one for winter??
Too bad you’re using dewalt pouches
One thing at a time
I do plan on switching over to diamondback pouches. Waiting on specific pouches to come out
