Under cover work with a Carbine
I as getting a little board with doing concealed carry method testing with holsters and various types of tactical pants this week and since it’s been so fricking cold out, I decided to do something new. I have a few friends that do under cover work and I have sold them some of the Eotac Style 101 vests. I originally thought that both of these guys were nuts because these vests are the most tactical looking vests out there. The 4 AR15 magazine pockets are a dead giveaway if someone didn’t already figure out you were’t fly fishing. I was amazed at what these guys actually did with the vests.
There are several tactical vests out there that are all out assault vests. You can basically attach a couple hand grenades to them and your good to go. These vests usually have a handgun holster on them and to me that pretty much makes it an outwear vest. The Style 101 s from Eotac are not really heavy unless you really put heavy items in them. Even though these are tactical vests, you can easily wear them under your heavy winter clothing and it will not really add much weight or keep in body heat anymore than what you are already wearing. You can wear this under a regual winter jacket and I have even seen small M4 Carbines along with these vests doing under cover work inside your average winter coat.
This style of vest was designed for security contractors that don’t want to wear the heavy chest rigs ect. that standing Army usually wear. The Eotac field vest style 103 is more of a tactical casual vest that is similiar in design to the Eotac Field Jacket. The Style 103 Field Vest is also an excellent hunting or outdoor outerwear to securely hold flashlights, magazines, knives, pepper spray, tools, hunting and fishing gear.
