The spiritual successor to the WW2 era “Assault Jacket”, the Enhanced Tactical Load Bearing Vest delivers even more utility in a much more comfortable package. Adjustable with easy pull tabs at the rear to fit any user and equipped with well padded shoulder pieces, one can wear this fully loaded for hours in comfort. In addition to it being adjustable and the pockets being angled for easier drawing, the vest is actually made up of a thin netting to ensure breathability for the user.

The top magazine pouches hold 2 STANAG magazines each and the bottom pouches hold 1 each. There are also 2 grenade pouches.

This vest although meant to replace the ALICE system, its fully compatible with ALICE belts and was meant to be used in conjunction with them for an extended fighting load. The snaps along the bottom of this vest can be used to attach the two together. This gives you full access to belt kit that will stay affixed to your vest as well. You can also attach a buttpack to the rear of this vest. This load bearing vest was WAY ahead of its time.
