A tactical vest moves your gear from a bag to your chest, so your phone, a snack and small tools stay within reach while you walk. The vests here cover more than one job, from load-carrying vests with webbing all over to cargo vests with zipped pockets. For pouches and bags to go with yours, browse the rest of our tactical gear.
For carrying weight, look at the vests with MOLLE webbing. The modular tactical vest is 900D Oxford nylon with quick-release buckles, and its side straps take it up to a 110 cm waist. The military tactical vest mixes 800D Oxford with 1000D nylon and has mesh shoulder straps that let heat escape, which counts in a northern summer. When the vest holds the small items, the tactical backpack on your back can stay lighter.
The carrier-style vests are made for games and training, not for protection. One plate carrier in black is built for paintball and comes with foam dummy plates, in dense nylon. Another adjusts for height and depth at the shoulders and waist, with detachable pads that soften the weight, and its 800D Oxford has a PVC coating that makes the surface water resistant. The tactical vest costume in tough nylon suits players of military simulation games who want their own kit. For less fabric in summer, the chest-worn tactical bag in 600D nylon works as a slim chest rig. Its straps are wide and adjustable, and one version is reflective for low light.
Not every vest here is tactical. The cargo vest has five working chest pockets, a front zip and a cotton and polyester mix, in sizes S to 2XL. The sleeveless utility vest in black or red is cut for layering over everyday clothes. Anglers get mesh panels and pockets sized for lures and pliers in the fishing vest, and the photography vest has eight front pockets in sizes up to XXXL. There is even a khaki vest for your dog, in padded 1000D nylon with webbing and a grab handle. For a full day on the track, our hiking gear has the rest of the kit.
