22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • Vests can be transported in repurposed hardboxes originally designed for broadcast camera equipment, which offer rigidity, low weight, and wheeled mobility for convenient handling
  • Hard cases with multiple locks and wheels provide space to store the vest along with related accessories such as arm rigs, cables, and canisters
  • Vests can be packed into carry-on luggage for air travel to avoid checked baggage fees and potential damage
  • Custom transport cases can be sourced from specialized textile suppliers

Depends on

  • Hardbox availability depends on finding used equipment from rental companies
  • The specific hardboxes mentioned were designed for different broadcast equipment and may have limited availability
  • Pricing and service details for custom case makers are incomplete
