| I got the Invictus Practical DeTurk Vest, and it is awesome. I have no trouble pulling shells out and loading quads. It's a dream. the only problem is I can't get the vest to stay up where I want it. Has anyone had this problem? It just creeps down to my waistline every time I move. Advice? I am trying to keep it up right at my chest. |
| I got mine today, and also have the same problem as you. I don't have a vest support in front of me aka gut. I wouldn't want to put some type of suspender on it because that would defeat the purpose of spinning out of the way when shooting prone prior to shotgun. I would thinking about using a different belt, maybe something wider like the chameleon vest. The vest might stay up with a wider foot print across. |
| I made my own chest rig from kydex and some 1.25" webbing from a military surplus store, then attached the Taccom Qualoads to the kydex backer. The larger purchase area of the kydex may be what helps me, but I also keep the set up tight enough that it sits still while running, but can be spun around my back if needed (it never has). |

That sounds exactly like the invictus setup. Big flexible sheet of kydex with a nylon belt holding it up. Most of the guys that I have seen run the otto belt always run it at waist level. I guess I need to try mine out.

Hey guys this is Dean, I am working with Kevin on the vests. If you hit it with a heat gun you can get it to mold to your body shape. We havent done it from the factory since everyone is different. I have heard some guys stick friction tape on the back to keep it from slipping down, but I like to be able to easily spin it behind me on stages I need to go prone. Usually I just pull the belt a little tighter on non prone stages to keep it in place. I wear mine below the chest, just above the belt and it stays in place pretty well. If you have any questions feel free to email me. [email protected]
I am not on here very often. Thanks dean |
I imagine you could rig something similar to what I did to my Otto.
Drilled the plate and used the Safarliand MLS system to hook to the molle on an HSGI chest rig. ETA - This is my MGM Ironman rig, not my weekend match rig. I am using Invictus gear for that (Fantastic gear) |
