I had the same vest in DPM, it only lasted about a month before the pouches started to rip from the weight of the ammo and stores I was carrying, was expensive to buy in NZ as well lol.

Thanks Dan.
It's a shame these vests are so poorly made, they look the dog's nads, but clearly are not up to the job
Still I only paid a couple of quid for it, no great shakes

Sounds Dan, I would like to see what you came up with Mate, sounds intriging, I'll keep an eye out for this.
From what I can understand about these Webtex vests, it sounds like you made the best of a bad lot

Nice one, that's very interesting info, at 12000 bucks , I would be naming it all, in fact I'd be afraid to let it out of my sight, just in case I got charged for the bloody lot

I know, you could probably kit out a whole rifle company 20 - 30 years ago with 12k.
