TPIE Body Armor (replica)
This is a replica of the one that the Navy SEALs use. I was able to compare it to the real thing. Except for the drag handle that came with mine (I have removed it already), this is very accurate.

SOMAV Vest (replica)
Here's another accurately made replica of a SOMAV vest. I was also able to compare this to the real thing. I can hardly tell the difference.







Here are closeup shots of the panels and the cross straps. Very well made.

Bundeswehr Body Armor
Almost looks like the U.S. Kevlar body armor. Very cool looking. The Flecktarn cover is not removable.

British Body Armor
This is another genuine issue. There are three 'carriers' or covers available for this vest. The DPM, Desert DPM and U.N. Blue.
