This past weekend while gearing up to run the 3 Bears section of the Molalla. I was with Michael Williams and Shannon Crosswhite and I mentioned the conversation and they both looked at me and informed me that they are adjustable. What? Shannon pointed out the two strings. One on each side of your vest in the lower back corners. You can see them in the pics below. So I guess after you put the vest on, you can cinch the drawstrings to where you want the vest and then tighten the straps like normal up.
An old faithful gear item gets cheers all around.
I checked on Astrals site and they briefly mention of such strings so it's no wonder very few know about it. Did you?
Devin sporting his new Aquavest 300 that kinda started the whole issue. The bottom of the vest was sitting against his skirt and the back deck of his LiquidLogic Chico. We raised the seat up to help with clearance. It also gave him a wee more height in the boat that was an added bonus.
Devin pointing out one of the drawstrings for the shoulder adjustment. When they're not adjusted, they are a little hidden inside the pocket the towline goes into.
The vest adjusted up, though it's kinda hard to tell. But the feel is competely worth the two pulls of the drawstrings.
Cheers, Corey
