Every operator needs this base system

I-O Tactical LB Vest
The Blackwater Gear I-O LB Vest is our base system for custom tailoring a kit for any operator. All Blackwater Gear pieces work together with this  vest system, allowing infinite configurability.

This vest system includes:
• a zip front plate carrier
• two side panels
• a rear plate carrier.
• Zip front allows easy don and doff in high-risk situations or medical emergencies.
• Can be worn over soft body armor, Interceptor vests or over  no body armor at all.
• Side panels can be independently added to fit any operator and to add mounting locations.
• Proven MOLLE/PAL systems cover the vest, assuring configurability and adjustability for every situation.
• Side straps and buckles allow easy width adjustment. Elastic stays secure loose strap ends, so they stay put.
• ITW Guilletex™ buckles allow quick adjustments and modifications as loads or positions change. Also promote a low infrared signature.
• Shoulder D-rings allow attachment of carabiners and other equipment.
• Holds standard SAPI-style plates.
• Internal pocket allows for secondary weapon carry.
• Emergency drag strap on rear panel aids in removal of operator during extreme situations.
