Raider '25 Vest: Features and Setup Guide

Quick answer

The Raider '25 vest system is a low-profile tool carry solution that prioritizes mobility and organization. This guide covers its standout features and walks you through a practical setup process.

Step-by-step setup guide

1. 1. Choose your vest size and color: Select the Raider '25 vest in a size that fits snugly over your work shirt or light jacket. A proper fit prevents the vest from shifting under load. Available options include color and size choices. Check the sizing chart before ordering; a too-loose vest reduces stability.
2. 2. Attach the Thor X and Loki X pouches: Mount the Thor X pouch on your dominant-hand side and the Loki X pouch on your non-dominant side using the vest's attachment points. Ensure both are secured tightly to avoid wobble. The Thor X typically carries your frequently used tools like a hammer or multi-tool. Double-check that the pouches are level; uneven attachment can cause discomfort over time.
3. 3. Install the Hammer Holster X: Clip the Hammer Holster X onto the Thor X pouch or a nearby HypaLock grid point. Position it so the hammer handle is accessible without twisting your wrist. This holster keeps your hammer secure but ready for quick draws. Test the draw motion; adjust the holster angle if the hammer snags.
4. 4. Organize tools in the pouches: Place your most-used tools in the Thor X pouch for easy dominant-hand access. Use the Loki X pouch for less frequently needed items like screwdrivers or pliers. The HypaLock grid on the outer pockets allows you to add clip-on organizers for small parts. Avoid overloading one side; balance weight to prevent back strain. Start with fewer tools and add as needed.
5. 5. Customize with HypaLock accessories: Leverage the HypaLock grid to attach Diamondback clip-on accessories such as a tape measure holder or bit driver. This modular system lets you adapt the vest for specific tasks without buying a new setup. Only add accessories you use daily; extra items add weight and reduce mobility.
