Hi-res:

There are Marines only on all of these pics.

As I understand, this vest is kevlar only. It always wearing under chest rig/plate carrier with SAPI plates.

I tried to find it on specwargear.com, but without success.:oops: It allitle looks like USAF PJ Armor: http://www.specwargear.com/images/armor&vest-Pj%20armor%205.jpg



Thanks in advance.

Ben, thank you.
I thought it's aircrew vest too. But the "unknown" vest has another kind of shoulder straps connecting...

It's a PACA low-vis armor carrier. The vest carries soft armor only. It is NOT the aircrew vest. And yes, the first pic shows part of the Eagle Industries SFLCS. A great piece of kit if I do say so myself ;-)
