Hi, I bought that vest on digital camo, and I'd like to know what is the iron cable with a square with velcro in the front for?

It is suppossed to be a one hand quick release so you can quickly remove the entire vest. Maybe for like treatment of an injury or if you fell into deep water or something. It is suppossed to hook all the panels together in the back instead of the cord. Im not sure how to set that up i have not researched it yet. Higher end vests like 5.11 and such come with it already hooked up. You might be able to google search or youtube to figure out to set that up. I just use the vest for tacticle training classes/range so i just remove the cable altogether as i dont really need it

I actually haven't tested it yet. I bought it to use in my tactical vest for paintball but because you ask and this is also a concern for its operational use I will test it over night tonight and figure out how to respond tommorow.

Marc...there are some "tie downs" on the corners where further camo could be done (like branches, etc.)...they aren't elaborate, but there are some.

I would love to help you but they sent me the wrong item. They sent me a big, hand carry, square cargo bag instead. I was not pleased at all with that item since I really did want the paratrooper bag. I had so much trouble trying to return it I finally gave up. I wish you MUCH better luck!

The vest is made of a mixture of nylon and cordura. There is also a mesh and velcro on the vest as well.

I love this vest, it is plenty big to go over a jacket, but it works better when it is secured in front. The reflectors on the Velcro part are more visible when fastened. The reflection is great for the small amount area of reflective material. Overall I would give it an 8 for visibility and a 10 for comfort.

This is the same vest. Each vest features - -Comfortable shoulder pads-Adjustable straps on both sides of both shoulders-Four standard M16/M4 magazine pouches-Two grenade pouches-Belt loops to incorporate the vest into a 1980's/90's style American Military webbing system, AKA A.L.I.C.E. system.

The way it was sold it's not low ride. I don't know if there are accessories that can make it such. I wear it on a tactical belt so it sticks out a bit. Written on a standard pant belly IMO it would be close to the body but still allow good draw. Now with a vest, I really don't know. A vest could pretty much obstruct anything I would guess.

There actually is a little bit of camo on the fabric that connects the leather fingertips to the elastic on the back of your hand. It's not much camo.

Sorry your reply got lost in a folder. I'm familiar with DP, but not his belt. I used this as a catwoman belt and it worked well for that. The pockets aren't really 'built' to carry stuff (not much room and would probably rip if stuffed), but as a 'look' it did find. My only complaint was that the Velcro interacted with my CW costume and caused it to 'fuzz' a bit in areas where the Velcro was located. Some black duct tape over the exposed Velcro would be the fix for this (i.e., for the 'next time').

The Velcro is back there. But I can't say I notice it all. Every once in a while while I flip to my front side I remember it there (when I'm sill awake, never when already sleeping). But really happy with it. FYI. I'm a hobo shift worker. Not associated with anything but myself. Would recommend to anyone

I use mine for SAR and I had some of that as an issue too until I adjusted, adjusted, adjusted all the straps. Even then I had some issues but wearing it in and weighting it down with my gear has broke it in and it fits well now. When I take it off in the field, the shoulder velcro sperates but that is not a big deal since it is adjusted with the straps. I've had this vest for awhile now and I can tell you it is very effective - for me - and blows away what other's on my team have IMHO. break it in Albert - weight it down, sweat in it, get it dirty and then readjust it again and again until it fits.

Hey Mario, the harness is impressive. Depending on your needs you can get diamondback tactical pouches MOLLE adaptable for either side. I separately picked up velcro and respective patches. My boy Marty is 50 lbs and is warm and extremely comfortable in the vest. He's a lab shepherd mix and tolerates the harness fine. He actually prefers it. No rubbing or friction into his skin. Like I had mentioned, pick up some pouches for either side you have about 7-9 inches to work with. Enjoy

I would like to know this answer too. This exact vest was $11 on Amazon 2 days ago

I believe its Velcro and that you can position the strip of Velcro where you want it.

The one we received was hunting camo, but I don't remember the picture looking like digital camo so they may have changed the pattern. We got ours almots a year and a half ago.

Harness with attached lanyard, tree strap anchor, safety strap that doubles as a lineman's climbing strap (carabiners included), suspension relief strap that doubles as a deer drag. If you think you may need pocket storage close at hand, get the vest model.
