A REVOLUTIONARY police vest topped Victoria's best designs at the Australian Design Awards last night.
More than 250 entries were cut down to the 42 best in Sydney last night.
Awards were given to four Victorian gadgets, with six awarded an Australian DesignMark for good design.
Richmond company Catalyst Design Group won a design award for its police utility vest.
It replaces the heavy standard police belts and has been heralded as the future of policing after trials in Victoria and Queensland.
The lightweight vest means all equipment is easy for police to grab when needed, even when sitting in a car, which had previously been difficult.
Sydney medical company ResMed took out the award of the year with a compact humidifier system to treat breathing and snoring problems associated with sleep apnoea.
