5.11 Taconic Weighted Vest tearing at seem after less than 30 days of use
After using my Taconic weighted vest daily for the last 3 weeks one of the seams for the right shoulder straps has began tearing apart. I use dual 20lb plates for a total of 40lbs which I believe is the limit for this vest. Prior to the Taconic vest I had used the 5.11 TicTac weighted vest for the past 2 years. The last 6 months of which were with the dual 20lb (40lbs total) plates. Not a single issue with seams tearing. The only reason I upgraded to the Taconic was because the after 2 years of use the padding on the TicTac vest had all but disappeared. Anyone else having this issue with their Taconic vest? Hoping it’s just a faulty stitch with my particular unit as I really do enjoy this vest. Planning on just doing an exchange for a new Taconic vest as long as this is not a widespread issue
