I have a South African assault vest. Very comfy and it breathes very well but too many of the available spaces for pouches etc have the pouches sewn into place. I would prefer a similar item that is easier to customise. Still a great peice of kit for going hiking etc. I've also got a big 1990s era Australian Army pack. I use it when travelling instead of a suitcase. Very sturdy and spacious.
