Work vest
We recently started issuing out the Point Blank FAS G4 carrier agency wide. Patrol gets it issued in dark navy. Specialties can elect to have a second carrier in either black, ranger green, or grey, depending on what you’re doing.
I had been wearing a Crye LVS and tac carrier for a minute, but unfortunately finally got told to start wearing the issued armor (city insurance something something….)
Anyway, the FAS tries to be a lot of things, but doesn’t seem to do anything particularly well. Hard armor plates basically get put into what I amount to a bag and the inserted into the carrier. There is no internal plate pocket. The cummerbund is absolute dog water. There is no finite adjustment, you basically hook the molle into G hooks. This results in the cummerbund being just a little too tight, or just a bit too loose. Also, Point Blank refuses to get with the times and use tubes. They use their weird AF KWIQ clips, which you can’t buy separately to attach to placards.
Anyway, here are some pictures. I’m not a road dawg anymore, and I really don’t know how the patrol guys are making this work as an outer carrier.
