WhatVest Full Send Black Vest

WhatVest Full Send Ski Vest

A high-volume utility ski vest built to be worn over your shell for distributing gear evenly and reducing swing weight without the hassle of taking a backpack on and off every chairlift. Eleven pockets across 20 liters of storage handle everything from keys and radios to a full shovel and probe for backcountry-capable resort skiing without the bulk of a dedicated pack.

Why We Carry It
It's the vest we recommend for resort and sidecountry skiers who want their gear accessible and evenly distributed without a backpack getting in the way on the lift or in the trees.

Highlights

• 11 pockets with 20 liters of total storage — Four outer front pockets for keys, radio, cell phone, and buffs, two interior front mesh pockets for snacks and gloves, a fleece-lined goggle pocket, a large backpack pocket with shovel separator sleeve, an interior shovel handle and probe pocket, a large mesh interior zipper pocket, and a rear lumbar pocket with two-way access. Everything has a place and nothing gets buried.
• Interior shovel handle and probe pocket — Backcountry-capable storage for a full avalanche safety kit without a dedicated touring pack. The shovel separator sleeve in the backpack pocket keeps the blade organized and accessible.
• Large rear lumbar pocket with two-way access — Accessible while the vest is on from either side for extra layers, goggle lenses, backcountry gear, or collapsible water pouches without removing the vest or digging through the main compartment.
• Fleece-lined goggle pocket — Protects a spare goggle lens or sunglasses from scratches and keeps them warm for a clean swap in cold conditions.
• Diagonal ski carry and vertical snowboard carry system — Hands-free ski and board carry for accessing sidecountry terrain and boot packs without strapping a pack to your back or carrying your skis by hand.
• Helmet carry loops — Compatible with the separate WhatVest helmet carry accessory for hands-free helmet transport on the lift and between runs.
• Front chest clip for airflow on the uphill — Allows the front zipper to stay open during hikes and traverses without the vest flapping open. A practical venting detail for high-output skinning and boot packing.
• 7 to 8-inch adjustable side mesh panels — Air-circulating side panels that keep you from overheating during uphill efforts and warm weather resort days without a separate venting system.
• Hydration pack compatible through shoulder — Routes a hydration hose cleanly through the shoulder for on-the-go hydration without stopping to dig out a water bottle.
• Beacon or key clip in front bottom pocket — A dedicated attachment point for an avalanche beacon or keys in the most accessible front pocket for quick deployment and check-ins.
• 1000D Cordura with YKK zippers throughout — Heavy-duty water-resistant construction built to handle a full season of hard resort and sidecountry use without the zippers failing or the fabric wearing through.
• Interior waist belt — Keeps the vest in place during aggressive skiing and high-output terrain without the vest riding up or shifting on the lift.
