Diamondback Wins Pro Tool Innovation Award for 701 Vest

We are thrilled to announce that Diamondback has been awarded the prestigious Pro Tools Innovation Workwear and Safety Award in the Safety Vest category for our game-changing 701 Vest. The 2024 Workwear and Safety Awards spotlighted innovative gear across a range of categories, from boots to gloves to jackets. And while tools often steal the headlines, the reality is that without the proper workwear, none of these tools can be used effectively or safely.

Why Workwear Innovation Matters

Workwear plays a crucial role in job site safety, ensuring that tradespeople and professionals alike are protected, comfortable, and able to perform their jobs with confidence. The 2024 Workwear and Safety Awards highlighted some of the best products on the market, and to say there have been remarkable innovations in this space is no understatement. We were proud to stand among the leaders in safety gear, with our 701 Vest securing the top spot in the Safety Vest category.

The Diamondback 701 Vest with Twiceme: Revolutionizing Safety Vests

The 701 Vest with Twiceme is not just a vest—it’s a tool for safety and security in any work environment. As noted by the Pro Tools Innovation Awards committee, “With the introduction of Diamondback’s 701 Vest with Twiceme, users extend beyond seasoned professionals to include everyday tradespeople. This collaboration signifies a joint commitment to ensuring safety and security for all individuals in the construction industry.”

What sets this vest apart is the integration of Twiceme's HTH (Health Through Hardware) technology, which supports both the prevention and recovery stages of an incident. Before an incident, Twiceme monitors the health of equipment and provides notifications and guidance to keep workers informed. This helps prevent accidents by ensuring tools and equipment are safe to use. After an incident, Twiceme’s Medical ID feature allows first responders to access crucial medical information quickly, which can be life-saving in the event of an emergency where the worker is incapacitated.

Connor Crook, CEO of Diamondback, expressed his excitement about this recognition: “We are incredibly honored to receive the Pro Tools Innovation Workwear and Safety Award for our 701 Vest. This award reflects our ongoing commitment to creating products that not only protect workers but enhance their performance on the job. We're also proud of our partnership with Twiceme, whose cutting-edge safety technology is making job sites safer for everyone.”

Built to Last and Keep You Safe

The 701 Vest is constructed from military-grade 1000 denier nylon mesh, offering unparalleled durability and breathability. 3M reflective strips enhance visibility on the job, while heat-sealed loops ensure that your accessories are secure and ready to go. The fully modular design allows users to customize pouch and tool attachments, giving you the flexibility to adapt the vest to your specific work needs.

For added safety and convenience, the 701 Vest features two bands of heavy-duty elastic at the back, which absorb shock and provide easy access to safety harness connection points. The waist belt adjusts in the rear, eliminating the bulky buckle that can damage delicate surfaces, making it perfect for carpenters and trim installers. Additionally, three adjustable straps under each arm ensure that the vest fits comfortably on a wide range of body types.

Setting the Standard in Worksite Safety

At Diamondback, we believe that safety should never come at the cost of comfort or efficiency. That’s why we’ve combined the best of both worlds with the 701 Vest. As we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of what safety gear can achieve, it’s humbling to be recognized for our efforts.

The Pro Tools Innovation Workwear and Safety Award is a testament to the thought, care, and engineering that goes into each product we create. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting your trade, the 701 Vest with Twiceme technology offers peace of mind and the tools to keep you safe on the job.

The next time you're on the job site, remember—it’s not just about the tools you use but the gear that keeps you protected. We're honored to help lead the charge in worksite safety innovation.
