(Description copied from archived official webstore, 2007 ver.)
Our CQB vest system is designed into separate modules so the end user can configure the vest as needed, quickly and easily. The vest has standard snap patterns backed with VELCRO© hook/loop material that form a tight fit. The panels will not sag or bounce like the current issue MOLLE vest & pouches. The basic vest is fully MOLLE compatible for emergency use if panels are not available.
The CQB vest has many features that make the vest a “total system” which is comfortable, easy to reconfigure and most importantly affordable.
Wide assortment of panels, pockets and pouches for different operational needs.
- MOLLE compatible.
- “Man Down” drag handle.
- Quick release side buckles & shoulder snaps for “dumping” the vest in emergency.
- Fully adjustable with internal “belly band” to keep vest snug.
- Emergency hard plate quick release strap.
- Shoulder “butt stock” recoil slippage stop strips.
