Possibly the coolest photo vest - ever

04 December 2012 - 07:21 AM

I was at the HUPS Christmas party last night and ran into long-time dive buddy and 2013 HUPS V.P. Terry Moore. He travels a LOT for work and has made a purpose built photo vest like nothing I have ever seen. Here is some info from Terry:

Just some info on the Jacket. It was made by a leatherman in Konduz Afghanistan. It cost me $150 for him to make. Its pockets were specifically designed to carry my camera, lenses, accesories, computer personal items etc etc. Since its a jacket, I have flown all over the place and never once have I been stopped and told I cant board the plane with it. Weight when full close to 50lbs. Countries flown in and out of USA, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Dubai, Afghanistan, FIJI, Guam, and many stops in between.


Terry is a pretty burly guy, and with the vest on - use your imagination. He says that he can actually walk down a plane aisle with it, but that he has to scoot sideways.

What do you guys think? I think it's pretty cool and definitely a way to "stick it to the man" when flying.

Cheers
