Transporting a Walter Klassen-class back vest on public transit and flights
What the thread found
- Detaching the front plate and carbon arm significantly reduces the packed volume, allowing the vest to fit in a large hard case such as a Pelican 1640 or a large soft travel bag.
- The manufacturer supplies a large square carrying bag, though it currently lacks backpack straps; the maker expressed interest in adding them.
- Alternative containers include a large roll-top dry bag or the large square delivery rucksacks used by food courier services.
- For air travel, the same disassembly approach applies, and a hard-shell case is not strictly required.
Depends on
- Disassembly depends on the specific arm attachment mechanism of the Walter Klassen-class vest.
