Posted: 12/17/2014 11:04:45 PM EDT

I was cruising ebay a few months back looking at army and marine gear vests packs jackets and what not...

I came across a vest it was tan or multicam not sure on that but it had several of the small cobra buckles on it.
Anybody in here have any clue as to what I am talking about ?

I can't think of any issued item like that, but then again I've been out for 4.5 years

How were they arranged? It may be what's called a monkey harness or part of an aviation vest.

Yeah our ALSE vests have two cobra buckles up front and have two leg straps that have cobra buckles as welll.

Should have a zipper that will hide the two chest buckles.

I think that is the one... The one I saw was new and had nothing on it.
I cant seem to find any at the moment that are sporting the cobra buckles...

Here is a video of an acu one where you can see it with less pouches and see the Cobra buckles that are concealed by the zipper

The only other cobra buckled Vest that's been issued I know of is this Yates one-

Hope this helped-
