The only vests I know that have been issued to CF Pers is the old LBV an a AR version, the new Tac Vest an the new ones we're trialing in A-Stan.


Dunno wtf Boarding Party or JTF uses though.

Mike,

There were some pics of Canadian troops in A-Stan with the Cadpat SADF LBV, i know they were floating around 25 Svc here in toronto, though i'm not sure of their origin.

Seals Action Gear has one. Also issue covers will with a PASGT quite nicely though you have a bit of exposed helmet on the back.

I believe MikeL is referring to vests that have been issued. We all know well that a wide variety of rigs are used (including SAAV's) by those over in Afghanistan.
I remember seeing a picture not too long ago of one soldier that had a SAAV in woodland sprayed tan...
So anyway, the SAAV has never been issued, but it has been used.

[Lerch]

By new issue you mean the AR model?

[Lerch]

Damn, I know that some units are doing trials on off-the-shelf rigs, and that TT showcased a new setup..but they're issuing a new one too?

Sounds like a good thing is about to happen.

[[Lithium]]

Glad to hear the current vest is likely to be replaced...

Is the replacement likely to result in old ones ending up in surplus stores? or would they need to be destroyed?

[Lerch]

I forsee the TV being issued the same way the '82 webbing was the last couple years before it was gone. You know..recruits get webbing until they finish their courses. I thought it was smart.

Hell I remember helping my buddy put his rucksack together.
