French Foreign Legion Assault Vest
The French Heavy Assault Vest is a tactical vest that was originally issued to the French Foreign Legion. With room for multiple armor plates, a combat belt, pouches, and more you'll find this assault vest has everything you could want. The camouflage pattern is French CCE which is very close to USGI Woodland and we've now sorted each vest by size to provide a better fit.

Authentic French KitPretty much the same as the last four guys, except mine came with an empty cigarrette [Gauloises - Blondes] to increase the authentic skinny and fatigued french infantryman aesthetic. Bless Charles De Gaules

Broken belt claspAll of the canvas and zippers were in good shape/working order. The other reviewers have covered it well. Plenty of pockets, really more than you would likely need. A great deal of it is detachable so it can be stripped off as well. There's one defect with mine. The plastic clasp for the gun belt came visibly broken on the left side. Other than that and what looks like a cigarette burn on the back it's in great shape.
Tons of storage and removable pieces
A little bulky for hotter weather and needs very minor repair in my case.

Adequate vest for short moneyI ordered this vest for a pair of 11x14 level 2 plates I had lying around. They're hard level two and a little too much weight to lug around all day in a backpack (for me) or in a shoulder bag (for my girlfriend). I wanted to find a way to put the plates to use in a vest but couldn't justify spending a lot on a real plate carrier that would accept non standard size plates. Enter this French foreign legion vest. Got it on sale for about 16.xx shipped. Fits the plates alright with a little extra room. Comes with a few detachable pouches which I may or may not use, as well as a neck gaiter. It's on decent condition - there's a hand sewn repair on the front and there is some fading and wear from use. Overall the condition is acceptable and the rugged canvas material should have a lot of life left in it. I now have a cheap place to stash my el cheapo (read as $60 for the pair) hard plates, and a way to carry some gear during hard times. Satisfied, overall.

Nice quality, like new plate carrier.This vest has full coverage, including room for groin plate and throat plate. There is space to put extra plates front and back in addition to the normal 10" x 12" plates. There is a pistol belt included with magazine pouches on both sides. There is Velcro on the front for patches and a window for blood type indicator. The size GT fits me at 5' 8", 255lbs, with extra space. It is used, but very lightly.

This is a great buy!A very interesting piece of recent French military gear that I can't seem to find anywhere else! A very unique and cool piece of kit that anyone interested in collecting modern military equipment should look into. Mine was lightly used, with an O+ label on the front and the former owners initials on the back, however this adds to the feel of the vest. Various back and front pouches that aren't seen on new plate carriers and vests. Also came with the two 3-cell magazine pouches for what look to be the older FAMAS F1 25-round magazines pictured. As said, looks much like M81 Woodland, commonly known as BDUs. If Keepshooting ever gets the inserts for this vest, I'd totally buy it!
