I finished a pair of H suspenders with shotshell loops a few weeks ago. well, I got bored and decided to build a body armor system around them. For no real reason really. So this isn't so much a vest as it is glorified ALICE system. I figure with the suspenders and the pistol belt, the weight should be fairly well distributed. None of the pieces are actually sewn together, so it breathes fairly well and its very flexible. however this is at the expense of more gaps in the armor. All of the panels have level IIIa ballistic inserts in them.

So I suppose this would be a sort of light armor... thing.

I think slowly Im going to add pieces to this. it will be like Lego armor. eventually I should ave something nifty with lots of interchangeable parts.
