I saw olive green US PASGT kevlar vest.

Who used and wear it ?

BDU is common, but this is rare.

Any more info ?

Thanks !

Fashing time in europe it is, but costume of bad omega7.

To say a PASGT vest is rare, is like saying the bubonic plague was an isolated incident.

Who used and wear it ?The navy used to wear OD PASGT-like vests. They probably still do.

You can get any shell for body armor you want.

Is it possible you saw the Canadian version of the PASGT vest? Except for a few minor mods (mainly a raised portion on the sholdiers so the rifle sling wouldn't slide off and an epaulet on the chest) it was essentially an OD version of the PASGT vest:

I used both the woodland and olive green when I was in the navy. We used them on the gun quarters team. They seemed to fit a little better than the woodland ones.
