ESS MVP Commandant Vest

The new MVP "Commandant" tactical vest from Elite Survival Systems (ESS) is now available in both right-handed and left-handed versions. The Commandant tactical vest has a cross-draw holster that is fully adjustable and will fit nearly any handgun, no matter if it has a light or laser attached. The holster has an adjustable thumb-break strap and elastic security strap as well as a spare magazine pouch. The paneling on the cross-draw vest also has three additional pistol magazine pouches above the holster. The opposite chest panel has three rifle magazine pouches that hold a total of six .223 Rem. magazines or three .308 Win. magazines, as well as a pistol magazine pouch and a utility pouch. The Commandant cross draw tactical vest also features a full panel of MOLLE-compatible loops with a reinforced drag handle and hydration sleeve.

The Elite MVP line of tactical vests is built on a system of interchangeable panels which allows a user to choose from an array of options creating a customizable load-out solution that's tailor-made for your needs. Because they incorporate interchangeable panels, the MVP vests can be quickly and easily modified as a user's requirements change. Each vest is constructed of a left chest panel, right chest panel and back panel. A wide variety of panels are available and can be purchased individually as your needs change. MVP panels attach and adjust at the shoulder and waist for a secure, personal fit.

The MVP line is constructed from the highest quality materials including YKK zippers, heavy-duty poly mesh, heavy-duty hardware and 1000 denier nylon fabric and webbing. Each panel has a non-slip shooting panel and hook and loop patches for attaching identification, as well as belt tie-down straps with hook and loop closures.
