They look pretty good BP!
It'll be something I do after I get my GHB and BOB fully squared off.

Hi Paul tell me what you would put in those small pockets, I mean in mine I carry cook set, crusader set, poncho, small sleeping bag, knife, coms and ammo, fire making gear, mob, torch few other items I am not going to mention.
I really pack mine out they all have different kit in them so I don’t have to pack for each time I venture out, one pocket on my vest can hold as much gear you could fit in 14 pockets on that vest, I am sorry if I upset you your reply is odd, we are talking about a vest and I feel the one you linked is not up for the job in my case.

I use my vest instead of a bag on most occasions, so yes we are talking different strokes regards our needs for vest, as for taking the wee wee I did not pick up on it sorry.
I think I will make a video of one of my vest and what I carry in it.
OPSEC I do tend to have all army kit, I might have to get me a cordura non mil spec vest, will look later see if I find something that meets that need.

We have completely lost topic on this thread, but before it gets locked or cleared out, WnC you mentioned a Crusader Set. Never heard of one of those before. What is it, what does it do, and what is it good for?

going back to the vests, i think they would make sense to use as a EDC when going into the city or other built up area, where you dont want to wear a backpack for fear of being mistaken for a terrorist by TPTB, but you can still take a lot of gear with you but its not so obvious to the casual observer. i use mine at the gun club, i can carry lots of pellets and co2 capsules plus my wallet and mobile phone in mine.
