Question 1

Is there any way to use a Camelback with this? It's hard to tell from the images if there's any pouch for one, or a way to run the tube out.

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Kyle, thanks for reaching out. The Patrol Vest does not include an attachment for a hydration bladder and does not have a dedicated opening for routing a tube. We hope this helps!

Question 2

Hello!  What volume is the backpack part?  16L? 20L?

Sophie · Accepted Answer

Hi Candice, thank you for your question! The backpack portion of the Patrol Vest is approximately 12L in size. We hope this helps.

Question 3

Hey! Is there any information on the length of the vest? I am 5'0" and petite and would be using this for ski patrol. I can't find any information on length and am concerned if its long it will impact my skiing. I would be getting a Small.

Sophie · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for reaching out! We're happy to provide the measurements for you. The center front length of the men's size small is 39.4 cm, and the center back length is 55.0 cm.

Question 4

Read through the reviews regarding tight radio fit; are there any pocket(s) that will accommodate a BKR5000?

River · Accepted Answer

Hello there, the Patrol Vest front pocket configuration is designed to provide easy access to standard-issue radios like the BKR5000. If you have specific concerns about the fit, we recommend testing it out to ensure it meets your needs.

Question 5

Is the backpack section removable?

River · Accepted Answer

Hello there, the backpack is integrated with the vest as a single piece and is not removable.

Question 6

Any idea when Size Medium will be back in stock for the USA?

You can select the color and the size you are interested in and we will send you an email once it is back in stock.

Question 7

Reading the reviews and questions it seems this vest fits quite large - should I size down? I am 5' 7" 160 and wear a medium arc jacket for patrol. According to the size chart I should get a medium but I don't want it to be swinging around too much

Question 9

Any chance that the 2022/23 season will offer a version without the cross? There is a lot of interest from users not wanting the patrol identifier (Iie SAR teams etc)

Question 10

I'm looking fo something similar to this with just a bit more cargo room. I need to carry food and water for a week along with a small shelter system while working a ways away from air support. Do you have anything?

Alpine Rescue Team · Accepted Answer

Buy a backpack!  That vest has an enormous amount of storage and using it like a backpack would create balance issues.  I use it mainly for SAR while driving a snowmobile and it's wonderful.
