Does the VEGA v2 Upgrade come with ProArms?Updated a year ago

If you are upgrading to the VEGA from the Ready Rig GS Standard, you must purchase the ProArm Upgrade separately. The VEGA v2 is a separate product and requires the ProArms to be installed on your vest to function properly.

  • We recommend buying an extra pair to have on hand. The bands should be replaced every 365.

 
If you purchased your GS Vest before 2021, we recommend getting the following upgrades to the vest chassis:
 

  • Bent Waist Plate Roller Upgrade - this item is great if you have an older GS. It reduces the noise of the system: https://www.ready-rig.com/collections/upgrades/products/bent-waist-plate-roller-upgrade
  • GS Belt Replacement v2 - We added a new metal buckle that replaces the old plastic buckle. https://www.ready-rig.com/collections/replacement-components/products/gs-belt-replacement

 
 
I've included an image of the various upgrade pathways for your reference. Please let us know if you have any questions!
