I've had the IOTV (Improved Outer Tactical Vest) for like 4 months now. It fits good, but if you have to foot patrol it keeps your diaphram from exspanding to breathe. Their's a elastic strap that you velcro together when you put it on which is underneath the armor. As far as I know it's a "in theatre only" vest.

The Molle on it really sucks. Their's no were really to customize the way you want it be. Plus once you have all your pouches on it the IOTV becomes a pain in the a** to put on. If you buy your own chest rig I suggest buying one with a back piece instead of a cross over. If you have a cross over, and your rig has 12 mags+NVG+IFAC it will put all the weight on your neck because the throat/neck protector doesnt stop the straps.
