Does anyone in the US make something similar to this though?

Its the Isreali Army's new LBV-which also happens to be a class IIIA ballistic vest with interior pockets to upgrade to III or IV depending on what plates you put in. The vest shell is covered front and back with MOLLE-like webbing loops to attach pouches, and like MOLLE it comes pre-packaged in kits for various roles. Rife, Grenadier, LMG, ect.
This back shot:

shows the webbing loops and how the patrol pack and buttpack attach to the vest itself. There is no picture yet on [url]isayaret.com[/url] of the ruck.
They cost about $1000 US each in one configuration with a single class III ceramic plate for the front.
Has anyone heard/seen of these being sold in the US? If so by whom?
