They are, I've looked at them a few times and the only thing they're really missing is the hardware for the shoulder/neck protection.

Yeah they actually look more like the earlier OD version of the current vest...
I saw some Cameron dudes wearing em...

I'm in for one / two of these... One for sure.

Now we are up to 12 with some people wanting more than one. With these numbers it should be enough to start production. :D

Thanks for the interest on the board.

If everybody that's interested in getting one could send me an email with their contact details (Name, address, phone number, email and their chest circumference size and height).
My contact is matt@cpgear.com

Price with the neck and shoulder protectors, as well as an internal front SAPI plate pocket, and velcro access panel pockets for the foam inserts will be $350. The current vest mockups I've done for use in the store don't have any of these features and when I put out the original price I based it on the simpler version.

Sizing will be Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large.

Cool! Too bad I won't be able to afford that much for a little bit...
I still want one though!

*sigh* agreed. at that price might as well get an issue one. theres a couple for sale right now at that price.
was hoping a repro would be closer to 200 like originally posted.

Where are you guys finding issued ones for that price?

I have not heard of such places or things.....

I've seen an issued Tac Vest not Frag Vest for $400.

?

in the classifieds... lol!
theres at LEAST one right now, possibly more if the older ones didnt sell yet.

Is this:

how the CPgear $350 version is going to look like? If so I'll gladly sign up to buy one, but that won't take place until next week-ish.

Yea... at 350$ I'm out. Thats too expensive for a plain BA carrier...

I'll have to start saving, post a link to those issue ones at the $350.00 price as I can never find them.

after more thought... 350$ much to expensive for me... I think I'm just gonna go with one of the ones off Tiger Tactical that's 90$
it might not be exactly the Issued one... but it's close enough for the price...

I actually ended up picking up an Issued version off a ASC member, just got it yesterday. Price tag was $345 after shipping, so $5 cheaper plus it's issued CF gear. Not sure if it's the current model that's in use as of the moment, think were using the Mk 5 or something along those lines, this one might be a 3 or 4. I'd love to compare it to someone in my unit that has one issued from the QM, but no one godamn does. Hell, your considered lucky if you get a CF Tac Vest issued to you at the moment where I'm at. (oddly enough, I managed to find one online and bought it as well...)

Either way, ended up with what I wanted. :)

Same... There's a CPL in my regt. that doesn't even have a tac vest...
as for the Frag Vest... I always end up getting one of the shitty old ones in 2 sizes too big for me...
