New Gear...

[_Shay_]

I used 1 yard of coyote brown cordura, 12yds of nylon webbing, and a few buckles and nylon ladders.

I wanted to try my hand at making a vest, so I did. I still might add a pouch type deal to the front, maybe some webbing to the soulder straps, but that's about it. I triple stitched everything.

I also need to make some pouches and such, going to try that as well.

Next up is a coyote brown drag bag.

Re: New Gear...

looks nice, what did you use for padding in the shoulder straps?

Re: New Gear...

Well... If you add a spatula pouch and two spoon pouches I'd pick one up for BC so she could cook in our tactical kitchen...

I don't have any padding. It's two layers of cordura for the shoulders.

I tried to wear it as an apron... not comfortable at all, felt quite odd... I like using it as a vest more.

Looks usefull and simple. You need to add about 400 pouches, at least 4 pieces of picatinny rail, and a tactical DVD holder to rack up the comments. How does it fit when you put it on?

Re: New Gear...

It fits me perfectly, so It's very comfortable, but I would like to try it with some added weight. I haven't had any time to add some pouches and such, but I'm working on it.

Soon though, I'm going to try a drag bag. Seems like quite an endeavor.

Re: New Gear...

The problem I've always had with vest was the back of the neck either riding up or bunching up. It all ended when I got the MAV 2pc with the x harness from Tactical tailor. It looks like this vest wouldn't have that problem so much because it doesn't seem to have a shitload of extra material. Nice work

Re: New Gear...

I can't wait to put it through its paces. I need to find some comps near me... then I'd have a use for it.

Re: New Gear...

Why don't you loan it out to a comp guy or something and have him use it and write a review for you?
