Dutch Modular Combat Vest, Surplus

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.

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.
