Italian Army Load Bearing Vest

The Italian Army has long had a tradition of excellence with their equipment and uniforms. This load bearing tactical vest performed flawlessly in combat operations in Iraq when it was initially deployed in 2004 and saw service up until the Italian army ended their involvement in Iraq. With many pictures of this vest being worn in Iraq by the Pozzuolo del Friuli Brigade which is an amphibious air assault brigade, the bona fides of this vest are clearly established and legitimate.

Features:

• Authentic Italian Army Tactical Vest - This vest was made in Italy for service with the Italian Army. This vest has never been imported before we brought these vests into the country, which makes this vest truly unique.
