SAS Assault Vests

[Braith-Wafer]

Are these assault vests still being manufactured?, Beides which pattern belt is that?, It looks 37ish.

I had one of these belts and im damn sorry i flogged it, Better then the 58 pattern though.

Ive no idea? , it looks like a 38 pattern belt with a harness made of some kind of modern mesh material ? , I doubt the authenticity of this equipment. It certainly doesnt look like anything the SAS would wear.

I mean for fecks sake! , youve even got what looks like velcro fastenings, I think somebody is taking the piss ?

Had one and it's dog toffee compared to modern or even Rhodie vests. It's not up to carrying decent weight nor particularly stable. That said there were a lot available when the Oman was on & a fair number of lads did use them.
