No they dont. Gorrilla surplus aint that great anyway, prices are too high.

For a cadpat frag vest, just go with the cover from celsurplus and put foam in it.

I wouldn't buy a "bulletproof vest" from a place that mispelled Kevlar
I went in there once and hefted the old british flak jackets they carry though. definately heavy stuff.

If your looking for the real carrier good luck. the knock off on the website is pretty darn close though and for 160 a heck of a lot cheaper than what you'd pay for a real one.




This knock off is pretty close, but you can see the errors in replicating the vest if you've either had a chance to see one of the real ones close up or the oppourtunity to wear one.

Now here is a real one, in Arid. look at the shoulder pad covers and then compare. Then look at the waist straps and how they are connected to the rear panel of the vest. Next up is the collar (yes the arid one is detached in the pic). Now unless they changed the TW version of the carrier again (it's always a possibility) the collar is sewn directly onto the carrier in a TW carrier while the arid is detachable. You'll notice the knock off has a detachable collar.

I think the "knock-off" is based off the early FPVs.

Oh, and BTW, if you buy the cover from Tiger Tactical, unless you specify they'll send a front cover, a back cover, 2 bicep/shoulder covers, and a weird detachable collar. The panel fillings and attachment straps are all up to you to make.

I think the knock off ones looks good enough for airsoft XD but its even harder to find a suitable CADPAT tactical vest for it..er
Cool things are always out of stock :banghead:

8th...look at CP gear, they have a modular TV that will go over the vest
