Specification
This vest is identical to the LOWE ALPINE / LCS-84 Tactical Load Bearing Vest (TLBV).
Details: These were developed by Natick for the US military to work with the experimental/prototype patrol pack (not included). Very rare. These were field tested by US Spec Ops units in the mid-80s and were in use during Desert Storm.
American Body Armor (ABA) Load Bearing Vest in Tan.This is pretty much the father of the LBV-88 which is the standard woodland LBV that you see all of the time.
Notice the tan buckles they are using - they apparently had that figured out a full 20 years before Eagle...the grommets and buttons have also been colored but some of the color is coming off now.
