Ski Patrol Radio Harness - Squaw Valley

[Home Slice]

Anyone know what the Squaw Valley Ski Patrol uses for a Radio Harness?

It looks like they are made by The North Face, Black in color, with a Name Tag sewn with a Red Zipper Pouch on the right side chest and the radio holder on the left side chest, plus it zips in the front.
Appears to be a low profile harness in the front, but yet keeps the radio up nice and high.
There are several photos of the vest being worn at this weblink: https://www.tetongravity.com/story/ski/the-women-of-squaw-valley-ski-patrol-made-a-calendar
I've looked all over the place for a vest like this, but can't find anything even close to it.
Anyone have ideas and where to look?

Thanks.

You might try looking into law enforcement supply companies. All the corrections officers and court officers I worked with over the years had radios that were nearly on their shoulders. I never noticed the harness, so I couldn't say if they are what you are looking for.

You could just reach out to them directly and ask?

I did, but I'll try again.

I did, but I'll try again.

Those radio harnesses look really cool. If you find out who makes them please report back.

Hi Dwight:
The vest you posted, is very, very, close.. But, the black harness I see the Squaw Valley Patrollers wearing, is separate from the actual red vest, as there are two different zippers. The name tag is either sewn on or velcro'd on the right chest. Within the white cross, there is a blue shield with a white (almost going vertical) symbol, similar to an S. Here is another close-up photo of the harness. *Click on below image to enlarge. Thanks to everyone helping to figure this one out I really like this (whomever manufactured it), Radio Harness.

I wonder if it's an older model. TNF does seem to sell something similar, but they illustrate it with a water bottle where the radio is on the Squaw Valley vest. And the other details are not the same. (You probably hunted this one down already)

They use a vest from North Face. Even what you posted is from North Face. Check their FB page, same vest.

Are you trying to purchase one? Good luck, most of these companies make directly for the resorts.

The lifties and patrol at Bridger Bowl were wearing these radio harnesses. The seemed pretty functional. Not as cool as TNF ones but these are available.
