i'm a collector and i've got some questions (no, not airsoft) about the paraclete rav (left one). which units (U.S.) used or still use this vest? what kind of pouches would be the "right" ones? paraclete or rlcs...?
thanks

Pretty sure SOCOM is issuing that thing out now. I know we got some in last year that look something like that. Prior to that I only really saw the super high speed guys use it and OGA types. You can use whatever MOLLE compatible pouches you want on it.

I recently saw a pic of Air Force Security Forces wearing it.

On AF mil are a few pictures of Air Force Security Forces with vests that look on the first view like a RAV but i think they are DBT predator vests.
The shoulder area and the back of the vest are different.

That's the pic I saw. Yeah, they look like DBT vests, now that you mention it.

I've got a DBT predator vest I used in A'Stan for a few trips. It's a good design.
