Product description

A pretty damn good MOLLE compatible combat vest. Well made, tough, and cheap, as military surplus should be.

Of all the armies, it's funny how the Dutch military seems to make particularly simple, efficient, and no-bullshit combat gear. They also let it go for cheap, which means you get proper mil-spec quality stuff for a very decent price, you just have to accept the fact it's used.

NSN 8465-17-114-3434

A solid package

  • Covers the whole upper body, PALS webbing all around.
  • The base material is breathable mesh.
  • Three quick-release buckles close the front.
  • Elastic loops on the shoulders for hydration bladder tubes etc.
  • A belt "tunnel" on the inside, can perfectly well be worn without a belt.
  • Adjustable shoulders, sides and front. Well adjustable and wearable with or without body armour underneath.
  • D-rings around the bottom for attachment of extra kit.
  • Large, zippered document pockets against the chest, one has a hidden pistol holster within.
  • Rescue handle on the back.

Naturally, the whole thing is made of mil-spec materials, so it's tough and has some kinda NIR properties.

Used military surplus

These show clear signs of wear, but all are in perfectly serviceable shape with all the zips and buckles still working. There are just a few different models, but the practical differences are so small it's a non-issue. We won't pick these.

I got this as a photographer's vest. The price couldn't be beat. As others have mentioned, I wouldn't have known it was used based on first impressions. it was in perfect condition. I'm a little (OK a lot) girthier than your average soldier so I replaced the shock cord lacing on the side with longer pieces and it fits very well. The shoulders have adjustable velcro and webbing to adjust the length and the length is just right. Lots of options for attaching pouches and clips, etc. It's heavy duty, but surprisingly comfortable to wear. There's no way I could have found a photographer's vest that has this many features and that is built this well for anywhere near this price. (the one that was closest in comparison was 5 times what I paid for this vest.) GOOD STUFF!

Very nice piece of equipment. The description says "surplus" but mine seems brand new except for the laundry instruction tag. Very sturdily built. I bought this as a short patrol vest to hang a Blackhawk combat belt on because my USMC fighting vest has no MOLLE on the back. My only dislike is the bungee cord side adjustments. That was an easy fix. I replaced them with 550 Paracord. Good To Go!
