The Tactical Load Bearing Vest (Figure 21-1) is constructed of a seven ounce nylon fabric and weighs 1.8 Ibs empty.
The vest is compatible with the standard equipment belt. The equipment belt is secured to the vest with 10 belt loops

carry six thirty round magazines. The pocket covers are secured by one snap and a strip of hook and pile. A pull tab is
used to open the pocket. Located directly below the ammunition pockets are two fragmentation grenade pockets. The
shoulders are protected by 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) foam padding. The vest closes in front with two chest straps using plastic
quick release buckles. Two 2 1/4 inch (5.71 cm) webbing and two D-Rings sewn to the back of the vest can be used as
equipment attachment points.
