Description: GENUINE U.S. MILITARY ISSUEUS Military Pilots Survival Vest w/ Snap Track Chest Rig w/ 9 Pouches COYOTE NEW Color: COYOTE BROWN Size: LargeCondition: NEW Made for the U.S. Military with Superior Materials and WorkmanshipNOT A CHEAP INFERIOR IMITATION!Made in the USA Genuine U.S. Military Issue NSN: N/A Description: In 2013 the U.S. Air Force ceased issuing pilots' survival vests, citing unnecessary duplication of the ejection seat survival kit. These vests, when issued, would be expected to carry everything a pilot would need to survive for an extended period of time from medical supplies, radio/beacon, pistol, flare kit, and a lot of other supplies. These vests are incredibly durable and are designed to survive 600 knot ejections without losing the gear and pouches on the vest. They feature the SnapTrack system of attachment for the pouches which makes arranging them on the vest to suit your particular needs a real...snap. Seriously, these are way easier to organize than a MOLLE based set up, although you will likely find yourself limited on aftermarket pouches. The vest features a zipper closure on the front and most of the pouches feature both zipper and snap closure for added security. The base of the vest is a breathable, fireproof mesh and it is sized as a "large" but is really more of a "One Size Fits MOST" as it does have a couple of adjustment straps on either side to cinch it in if needed. Let's talk about what these vests are good for. Canoeing/ Kayaking. Minimize how much you need to move around by keeping the essentials right on your body. Perfect if you end up in the water separated from your craft. Motorcycling- Are you one of those long-distance adventure riders? Keep all your essentials on your person and readily accessible while on the move. The easily secured pouches are designed to survive an ejection from a fighter plane. This makes it perfect for your application. No worries about wind causing your gear to flop about. Survival- well, this one is kind of a no-brainer. Hunting- Keep your calls, electronics, survival gear, snacks, and all your other essentials organized and on your person. Camping, hiking, fishing. Really the uses are endless and since these are likely some of the last ones making their way out the supply chain, the opportunities to get one, especially at these prices are dwindling rapidly. These vests will include:1 universal pistol holster4 square pouches2 rectangular horizontal pouches1 radio/mag pouch1 large pouch on the rear of the vest Item Condition: NEW NOTE: May have pilot / aircraft / unit identifiers written on some parts of the vest.

Please keep in mind that we receive hundreds of inquiries daily Buying Used or Surplus Items When it comes to buying used items such as genuine U.S. military surplus please be aware that no two items are going to be alike. We do our best to inspect every item and put it into a quality grade with items in similar condition. Many surplus items labeled "brand new/unissued" may not be shipped with original packaging. This does not mean the item has been used or that it is not genuine U.S. military issue. This may happen because the military often buys items in bulk and 100 of the same item may have been sealed in a single package. Genuine U.S. military surplus items may have slight variations by contract (each order the military made); these variations are not considered deficiencies. Be advised that it may be against the law to export certain military items outside the United States. Those items will be offered to U.S. addresses only. Be advised that the U.S. Government also regulates which countries we are allowed to ship military items to. That is why our listings are only offered to certain countries. We Use Stock Photos Due to the large volume of inventory we have on hand we use stock photos on our listings that are representative of the quality of the item you will receive. We are unable to take photos of each individual item we sell; instead, we take photos of one item from each quality grade and feature those on the listing. Storage of Surplus Items Our military surplus items may have been sitting for extended periods in government warehouses collecting dust and dirt. We do not consider dirt or anything that can be easily washed out of the item as a negative impact to quality. Generally, we do not launder our military surplus items prior to shipping. All items are inspected and graded for condition and we check for holes, rips and/or missing parts. Our in-house seamstress makes professional repairs as necessary prior to shipping. Important Information Regarding Genuine U.S. Government Military Surplus Inventory Availability All available sizes, colors and inventory we have in stock are available to purchase by going to our eBay store. Many listings have a size and/or color choice by using the drop down menu fields. If the size and/or color you need is not there or greyed out, we are temporarily out of stock. If there is not a size or color drop down menu you can visit our eBay store to check for other sizes or colors. We receive new shipments approximately every two weeks and we update our eBay store with new arrivals almost daily. Please be aware that we are at the mercy of the U.S. Government as to what they release and, unfortunately, we cannot simply pick up the phone and place an order for specific items when we sell out. Due to the large volume of orders we receive we are unable to contact customers when new stock arrives. Please feel free to add us to your favorite sellers and keep checking back with us. Condition of Used Items We do our best to describe the condition of each item, however, from time to time, a buyer's expectations will not always be the same as our grading criteria. In addition, our used items will not always have the exact same condition even within the same grade. This is because not every item has the same "deficiency". An example would be a trigger finger mitten appearing to be brand new (or they may actually be brand new) except for staining. This staining causes the mittens to be downgraded from brand new to either like new/mint or very good/excellent/nice condition depending upon the extent of the staining. In this example the "intended use" of the trigger finger mittens is not affected by the staining which is to keep your hands nice and warm. In addition, some items may need laundering but all of the items we sell will be serviceable and any deficiencies noted in the listing will not affect the "intended use" of the item. All items have been properly demilitarized and cleared for resale Nothing Beats Made in the USA
