French Military Flak Vest

The French Military Flak Vest is an authentic surplus carrier issued by the French Army, available in CCE woodland or Daguet desert camouflage. The vest is a pullover design with side-release buckles for adjustment and includes front and rear cavities sized for standard shooter-cut plates (armor not included). A clear blood type window sits on the front chest, and the heavy nylon shell holds up to hard field use. It's a solid pick for airsoft loadouts, milsim events, range training, or rounding out a French military kit.

    Just want to make sure people understand this is a flak vest not a plate carrier. Its meant for frag protection not rifle rounds so dont go thinking your gonna stop 5.56 with this lol. That said its a really well made vest and the desert camo is a nice tan color that would blend well in arid enviroments. I use mine for airsoft and larping around the property. The velcro and buckle system is still in great working order on mine.

    Well made with quality material buckle/velcro system still functions perfectly

    Not rated for rifle threats limited MOLLE attachment points,
    Sizing chart would of been helpful

    Overall Rating

    First, this vest arrived in EXCELLENT condition. I would have to say brand new or verrrry close. None of the usual surplus smells, stains, wear & tear, etc. Might be great for airsoft player or cosplay, but not as plate carrier. This is not a quick-donning item. The sides use buckles to close and the neck will interfere with glasses while slipping it on. As the description is slightly misleading. There are not "pockets" for armor *plate* but one pocket that will just fit an 11"x14" shooter cut steel plate. The other pocket is big, honking space on both sides of the vest where the soft flak armor would go. There is a zipper than runs the entire perimeter of the inside of the vest (both sides). The lack of a rear plate pocket makes the vest sag in front so much, a plate ends up protecting your stomach more than your CNS/heart/lungs due to the lack of a counterweighting plate in the back.

    Brand new or damn close to it condition
    Nice camo pattern
    Runs a bit large, presumably to allow wear over uniform items

    No rear plate pocket
    Buckles for side closure takes longer to close up compared to velcro
    Neck hole not glasses friendly
