PECOC Hybrid Tactical Vest

PECOC Hybrid 'Tactical Vest'





Right side (facing you) internal pocket with straps I think for 9mm pistol mags.



Left side, just a large internal storage pocket.







Small storage pocket to the rear of meshing.





Some pouches (Non Slashed) I got with the vest. Interestingly included is a 5.56mm linked 100 round pouch. Never seen these before in Hybrid.





Makes my collection of Hybrid kit to, 1 x 90l infantry Bergan, 1 x 90l Modified Infantry Bergan, 1 x Daysack, 1 x Set of full webbing, 2 x Ammunition bags, 1 x Fragmantation Vest and 1x Tactical Vest. I believe I'm just missing a Mk3 Osprey and a Patrol Bergan!!!

Lovely any chance of showing them all together?

I'll try get into the loft at some point this week James and get them all down. I thought when I was sticking these pics on the site I have photographed them all but individually!

Thanks I'll try and find them.

That is an object of desire !!

Interesting - despite some of my Hybrid pouches (3) having the PALS fittings I never thought about there being a Tactical Vest for them.

Would the same pouches have been used on the webbing or are they modelled on PLCE?

Outstanding kit again Lee :-)

Thanks exwoofer, appreciate your comments as always. I actually stumbled on it if I'm being honest, The chap I bought the Hybrid Fragmentation Best off mentioned it in passing...I asked if he wanted to sell it and he said! Happy days!!!

I'll be honest, I'm not a expert on fittings...the only thing I can say which is clear is that they are Molle and fit across the range, Webbing, Bergans, Vests etc... Apologies if I'm vague!

Interestingly the other part PECOC Arid vest I have is labelled Ops Vest and is in a slightly different style than that above!

Here you go James, all my Hybrid apart from one grab bag!



Left to right, Daysack, Modified 90L Infantry Bergen, Fragmentation Vest, Webbing, 90L Infantry Bergen, Tactical Vest and Grab Bag.

A fantastic collection, thank you. I've never seen any of this in the flesh so to speak. I'm at Abbey Wood on Friday so I'll ask if I can see theirs. Thanks again

No problem James...at Abbey Wood, have they retained samples? If so, would be good to get some pics. Some of the Arid pieces I have came from there!

Cracking as always Lee! Nice collection you have building there.

What's it like owning all the PECOC kit in circulation?

Only joking.
But really, you do indeed have a knack for finding it and have built quite an impressive portfolio as a result! Always excited to see more of this type of kit!

Thanks George and Ben, appreciate your comments. Nearly there with it now, just a waiting game until the last couple of items possibly surface!

Apparently they have samples of everything ever produced for them. They might not be immediately available, I suspect that almost everything is in storage, the same as everything, and that only current patterns are kept to hand.

I will ask and see what they have.

Photo's? very unlikely on Friday.

Thanks James, if no photos, would be great to find out what they actually hold in storage, it could fill in some blanks I.e we know of the Arid and Hybrid Webbing/Vest systems but what about the humble DPM...I know George has a vest and a handful of pouches but they must have trialled hippo pad, yoke, pouches etc. Also wonder if they trialled an Arid Bergen? They seem to have trialled everything in Arid, would be surprised if there isn't a Bergen floating about somewhere...or am I dreaming!!!

Any help would be great!!!

I'm hoping they still have everything, they should. But once many years ago some fool decided to destroy the proof models of every issued watch, Rolex, Omega, Blancpain everything and that little lot would be worth around a million quid. They got rid of them due to fears over radio active material on the dials (pathetic I know) but no such issues can possibly arise with clothing and webbing.

I will see what I can find up there
