I've got my rig built on a fishing vest. I just pull it out of my
pack and put it on, and I'm ready to record. A pair of dress shoulder
pads are sewn onto the shoulders for foundations. On that, Velcro
strips are sewn, and the lavalier mikes are clipped to a piece of
Velcro stuck to that. The mikes face forward. Then each mike is
covered with a home-made windscreen, a 1/4" wire-mesh box covered
with fake fur fabric, put together with hot glue and held to the
shoulder pad with Velcro. MD in the pocket, blanks in the other
pocket, ear canal phones and mike cables rigged to the vest with
safety pins.
