Just so you know what I'm talking about
http://www.army-surplus.co.uk/milita...ican-vest.html (note mine is in DPCU not DPM)
I have purchased this vest and am in the process of making it compatible with my British Army Bergen Field Pack in Auscam.
So far I have removed the backpack section to flatten it off for my pack.
Does anyone know what purpose do the six adjustable slides on the mid back section serve? I have been considering removing them to make sure they don’t dig in with my pack; is this a good idea?
I am also considering replacing some of the Velcro with fastex clips, is it worth my while? Is there an alternative to fastex?
Thanks in advance for any advice
