The Special Operations Vest is based on our
Helicopter Crew Vest with design features specific to
the needs of Special Operations personnel. The vest
is inflatable which is more comfortable to wear, has
less bulk, and is easy to don. It has been designed to
be comfortable while wearing a side arm and
restraint straps in an aircraft cockpit. The flotation
bladder is made of highly visible yellow fabric to
facilitate sighting in water.
