ISOC has updated its rules for the 2015-16 season and now requires ISR-approved upper body protection for all mechanics and crew who work area trackside.
TekVest has responded to the recent rule with its new RPM model vest. Based on our highly-successful Rally Sport and Rally Max models that have served the off-road, enduro and ADV market for more than a decade know, the new RPM offers the following unique features that make it a smart choice for crew members in ISOC as well as in all other snowmobile race circuits:
*Front-mounted cargo pockets featuring a unique 2-stage design with a hidden inner pocket and an external “Ready Rack”.
*The inner hidden pocket has vertical tool slots to hold your tools, goggle wipes, sparkplugs and contact gloves.
*The outer “Ready Rack” holds tools that require the quickest access on race day.
*The “Ready Rack” also has a spot for your Smart Phone and can also handle your team radio system with a left or right side mounting option.
*Designed to wear under your coat but can be worn on the outside.
*Integrated rear cargo pouch accommodates popular 50/100-oz. systems.
*Integrated drink hose/radio cord carrier built in over BOTH shoulders.
*You must buy your own hydration system. We recommend you use an insulated drink hose and bite valve.
*The mechanic can now “hydrate” his rider without the awkward use of water bottles.
*Rear cargo pouch also handles temporary storage of soft items such as a hat, goggles, gloves etc
*A quick-release drive belt hook is standard. Keeps the belt warm and dry while under your jacket.
Special ISOC pricing begins at $345 U.S.

Please tell me this is a joke….
That Allouette logo is a plus.
I was working ERX last year when a flagger got taken out by a racer that lost control right after the finishline jump, Scary stuff to think about that you dont realize until you’re right there. Isoc made the right call here, 345 is a cheap insurance policy vs taking a set of studs cross the chest in the event Kamakazie kam…. well… a racer gets out of control and the sleds pointed in your direction..
I absolutely understand the risk…but I’m thinking a helmet should be the first step if that is the case.
What’s a fax?
