A light, durable, and warproof combat vest for a low price! US Army surplus.
The IIFS (Individual Integrated Fighting System) was adopted in 1988 to replace and complement the ALICE system and is in limited use even today. All-new items in the IIFS were the combat vest, rucksack, and day pack. This combat vest has been designed to be used together with an LC-3 belt, which is to be equipped with water canteens and pouches for additional magazines.
Two models: The LBV-E is an improved version of the LBV-88, with slanted magazine pouches and breathable mesh in place of nylon fabric. Pick whichever tickles your fancy, they're very much alike.
Features four magazine pouches for six M16 magazines, two grenade pouches, good adjustments in every direction, and ten belt loops for LC2/3 pistol belts. Basically, this vest acts rather like a set of suspenders (but with a relatively huge carrying capacity), with the main load carried on the belt. An excellent design, yet quickly superseded by the MOLLE-system.
For those not too keen on MOLLE, this "vest" is lightweight, has easily accessible pouches, and as it does not cover the entire upper body, it doesn't boil you in your own sweat.

Only downside is this kit in particular not coming with the pistol belt. Having that wide belt adds a vital amount of stability to the kit, especially once you start loading in your ammo or whatever you need to carry.
SKS stripper clips and double P-Mags can go in the normal pouches, a can of Vienna sausages or shotgun shells in the grenade pouches. The pouches come with the button snap AND hook and loop strips for the quick-release when you need it. The LBV-E is a lot more comfortable to go prone with, and keeps the bulk of your magazines from getting in the way of a seat belt or normal work like carrying something.
If you've been in the market for something to go with your duty belt or just have a lonely US-type pistol belt, this is the thing to get!

If you aren't interested in building a full chest rig, or just want something simple and effective, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
