Our aviation units have determined that this type of vest will work for their pilots and the design is such that it reduces the total amount of weight that airmen have to bear over extended periods of time while flying.
We are looking for just the vest only with pouches and pockets, not any of the single items, and accessory items that are mentioned that go in the pouches in the attached specification sheet as some have asked about..
