It's made by Point Blank ([url]http://www.pointblankarmor.com/interceptor.html[/url]) and it's supposed to be lighter but will stop a 9mm round. Any intel to share? Thanks.

It's the same stuff my guys wear on guard duty (thanks, Osama). I personally haven't tried it. I'm army, so it aint just a Marine thing.

Only thing I have heard conclusively is that you got better neck support (for sleeping) with the old vest. Leave it to Joe...

It seems a lot lighter than the old flak jacket, and it's got a bunch of straps on it like you could just hang your mag pouches and whatnot right on it and go without the LBV. Is that the intent?
