Description: MW Combat Vest - with integrated SAPI plate carriers

Mercworx Tactical Gear is designed to be versatile and user friendly and built to be virtually bomb-proof. Whether your load out doctrine is maximal for optimum firepower, minimalist for enhanced mobility and stamina, or anything in between, Mercworx Tactical Gear has a tactical carry option for you. Case in point is the MW Combat Vest, combining masterful human engineering with overbuilt ruggedness to bring you the finest in load bearing equipment. Compare the features for yourself:

- 5 front mounted pockets sized to hold 3-30 round .223 cal, 2- 20 round .308 cal, or 2- 30 round 7.62x39mm magazines. The pouches themselves are ridged and made of double layer 1000 D cordura with built in drain holes. Two pistol magazine pouches flank the outer mag pouches and will contain up to a double stack 10mm magazine, 40mm round, any of the MW three fates folders, or a variety of Surefire flashlights.

- The magazine pouches on the extreme right and left of the vest are fitted with grommets at the bottom and thumb snaps at top. This allows for insertion of a Merc Worx Vorax or Sniper blade to be carried on the vest. The kydex insert from either blades corresponding nylon sheath, can be removed and tied into the lower grommets on the vest. The vest has removable belt loops for attachment of a MercWorx duty belt.

- The rear panel and the sides of the chest panel have attachments that will accept MOLLE, ALICE, MALICE, zip ties, or virtually any known attachment system. The attachments on the rear panel are also designed to accommodate the MW butt back.

- Shoulder straps are padded and also made with 2 layers of 1000 D cordura. They attached to a rear plate carrier with a drag handle that really works and attachment points for the various MW products. These include MW Reservoir Carrier, and MW Sniper Pack. The rear plate is held in place by a internal strap that allows for adjustment of different size plates and has a pull feature to allow the plate to drop from the bottom. The rear plate carrier has MOLLE compatible webbing covering the entire surface. Routing points for hydration hoses, communication gear and radio antennas are also included.

- The chest pouch has an interregnal SAPI plate pouch with attachment points on the outer flap. Velcro covering the pouch flap allows for attachment of unit patches or other designators as well as push-to-talk buttons on popular comm set-ups. If a plate is not used this pouch doubles as a large map carrier or storage compartment.

- The entire vest is positively buoyant when empty and near neutral when loaded, (depending on individual load out) due to built in closed cell foam, further protecting the wearer during river crossing and diving/swimming operations. The vest can be trimmed down to a chest rig only with the removal of the shoulder and rear panels and the application of optional non-padded straps. This option for the minimalist operator is valued when weight and bulk must be cut to an absolute minimum while still maintaining a maximum combat load.

- All Mercworx Tactical Gear is offered in three basic colors: Black, Olive Drab, Coyote Tan
