Need help finding a vest
 
2 Attachment(s)
I am looking for a vest that the second to the left or far right soldier has in the attached picture. Any help is great such as a link to a website , just wanted to ask here before calling my family in Poland since they have already gotten me a few Polish issue things: www.pbase.com/conrad_2/inbox
So just need the vest and boots (boots already found, just waiting for my size to come in)

before you say anything, in 3(?) pictures I also have woodlands camo next to the Polish camo(called "Pantera" camo?) just to show the difference between the two.

first person to get me a link to a place where I can buy it gets $1.00 through paypal , isnt that great?

only if you have a link to the actual Polish issue vest that could be seen and purchased online. :mrgreen:

They look to be US military issued Enchanced LBVs

Yeah, the vest looks very similar but the camo type does not match? or is that the fault of my eyes?

Probably not your eyes, the one I linked might be a replica, as that woodland does not look right on it. Anyhow, I am pretty sure that is the vest your looking for, unless Poland produces a very similar version, in which case I would be of no help. Just remember the close military relationship Poland shares with the US in Iraq, and the high likelyhood of Polish troops getting US gear.

Fyi, your looking for the enchanced version, notice the slanted pockets, afaik the original LBV-88s come with normal pockets, not slant like the enchanced version.

heres one closer in color (its the normal 88 thoug)

Mate, that just is not the same vest. Look at the details, the mag pouches are nothing alike, the mag pouches are standing upright. It uses fastex buckles and not snap buckles, the left shoulder strap is run on 2 straps, there are no grenade pouches on the bottom, and this is just what I can see from what is exposed.. The Pole in last pic has a SIMILAR rig, as in the design is similar, but it they are not the same. And if you want to emulate the first pic you posted, it is probably a LBV 88 enchanced then. :-D

My bad , I am not experienced enough in knowing 1 vest from another.
but in the end I am still looking for a Polish camo version of the lbv 88 enhanced.

Yuxi June 10th, 2005 01:45

So you wanted basically the rig you see in the second picture right? I can try and find it if that is the case.

conrad June 10th, 2005 09:53

well, if it holds ak-47 mags then yes I would want it.

I dont think it would, im not sure. But if you want one, there like 30USD in redwolf, wargamers,and war4toys/airsoft. They are all located in hong kong tho.

i dont know if you like this or not, but it looks somewhat the same as the others.

That looks to me like and Arktis (or Wyvern copy) rifleman's vest.
