A lightweight yet ruggedly built nylon mesh vest designed to provide stowage for survival equipment items.  Contains 5 pockets constructed of a heavy duty 1050 denier ballistics nylon.  The 2 main pockets measure 5½" x 4½" x 1½" and are located on each side of the vest for best weight distribution (a portion of the load is transferred to the shoulders) of heavy/bulky items, such as flares, signal mirrors, dye markers, etc.   The front of the vest has a knife pocket (see #358), a strobe light pocket and a utility pocket measuring 3¾" x 5¾" x 1".

The adjustors, zippers and snaps are all high strength plastic for corrosion resistance.  Vest can be adjusted to fit in a few seconds by simply pulling forward on the adjustment straps.  Retroreflective material is sewn to the front and back of the vest for high visibility both day and night.  Vest size can be quickly identified by the pull tab (Black for Regular and White for Large) on the knife pocket.  Available in black by Special Order only; call for details.

Sizes:  Regular (Chest 36" – 50")  /  Large (Chest 42" – 56").
