    Default Vest

    I Bought This For Day And Overnight Hikes... And I Am Very Pleased With It. It Supports All The Weight Evenly Over My Torso... And I Added The Hydration/Pack And Am Very Pleased. The Nice Part Is I Can Change What I Carry On My Back Pouch Wise To Suit What I'm Doing.

    I've got one of these vests. mine is in the new marine corp digital it's a darker shade of green than the one shown got mine from cheaper than dirt fo around $40.00 without the pack. I really like mine It holds 8 30 round M4 mags. 8 mags for my 9mm has a pocket for my mini binocs. and mini light. loaded weight is about 25 lbs but when worn doesn't feel heavy at all. Great investment even if not used as a Tac vest.

    Pickin' on me is easy. Most folks want a bit of a challenge.
