Built for long shifts and fast response

Hot spots, back pain, and slow gear access slow you down. BodyShield™ solves those pain points with a stealth zippered cummerbund that prevents ride-up, tunnel loops that accept the VSS1 Suspension System to offload your duty belt, and MOLLE pouch options that place tools where you naturally reach. Dual-access chest pockets with scalloped flaps and FastLock closures, a large hidden document pocket with dual pass-through, and a camera mount tab keep you mission ready. Tropical-weave 600D Syntex polyester with UPF 50 and an antimicrobial lining helps you stay cool and fresh. Zipper openings let you insert panels quickly for easier donning and doffing. Version 3 has been discontinued and replaced by Version 4, but remaining stock continues to deliver proven performance. Mentioned MPNs: V3110B, V3112B, V3114B, V3115B, V3117B.
